Plaza Rakyat — How a Mega-Project Became Malaysia’s Biggest Mosquito Farm

Описание: Plaza Rakyat: Kuala Lumpur’s Most Infamous Abandoned Mega-Project (Explained)

Plaza Rakyat was once envisioned as one of KL’s most iconic mixed-use developments—featuring offices, hotels, luxury residences, and a major transport hub. Instead, it became one of Malaysia’s longest-running abandoned projects.

In this video, we take you through the full rise-and-fall story of Plaza Rakyat:

How the project started in the early 1990s

The impact of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis

The decades-long legal disputes and stalled construction

The multiple revival attempts after 2012

And why, even today, the site remains unresolved

If you’re interested in KL history, abandoned megaprojects, Malaysian urban development, or architecture, this is a story you don’t want to miss.
