Perspective As Practice

After a long and joyous celebration, we finally mark the 15th and final day of Chinese New Year with Chap Goh Mei. In this episode, we break down what are the rituals and traditions that are observed on this joyous day, especially the unique tradition that originated from Penang, where people throw mandarin oranges into the river, hoping to meet their potential partners there. We also talk about the future of this celebration and whether it’ll be observed the same way by the future generations.

Chap Goh Mei - CNY’s Final Curtain

Pre-war shophouses are a crucial part of Kuala Lumpur’s landscape, both in their cultural influence as part of the city’s fabric, as well as their commercial influence, then and now, in a more modern environment. Their continuous existence in this day and age is interesting, as there are concerted efforts by all the stakeholders involved to keep these buildings as they are, to preserve their value, both financially, and esoterically, to the city. I Love KL has always been focused on the intangible value of heritage buildings and their cultural significance and value to the city, so in this episode, we ask heritage conservation expert, Elizabeth Cardosa, whether they talk about the financial value of these pre-war shophouses, and how they balance it with what they do and their focus.
