Turning Downtown KL Into A Creative & Cultural District

DBKL and Think City has signed their third MoU to accelerate the rejuvenation of Downtown Kuala Lumpur as a creative and cultural district, the KLCCD initiative. So first, we discussed this with Think City, and what it’s all going to mean. Then, we get thoughts from some cultural practitioners about whether this is going to actually help the arts in our capital city.

We hear thoughts from:

- Blankmalaysia, artist

- Joseph Foo, President of KongsiKL Malaysia

- Azmyl Yunor, singer-songwriter
