KL's Arab Square almost ready
By BAVANI M
WORK on building Ain Al Arabia or Arab Square Jalan Berangan in Bukit Bintang is progressing smoothly, with 90% of the job completed.
The site in the heart of the Golden Triangle has already taken on a Middle Eastern look with its Arabic architecture and design.
The most striking feature of the project – a water feature depicting a giant teapot – is almost ready.
You can read the entire article here.
Here's wat a local lawyer commented about it:-
Giant teapot in Terengganu*: Un-Islamic, deviant, against the law, a threat to national security
Giant teapot in Bukit Bintang, KL: No problem
Moral of the story?
If you attract Malaysians, it's a crime.
If you attract Arabs, it's laudable.
If you use your own money to build a giant teapot,
you're a national threat.
If you use taxpayers' money to build a giant teapot,
you're a national hero.
* you have to know about the recent local news regarding "Ayah Pin" and the "Sky Kingdom" to understand this comment.
