Over the last 167 years, since Kuala Lumpur was founded by a group of tin miners, this muddy confluence has grown into a city of modern skyscrapers, many of which are at least 60 years' old. This means many need to undergo refurbishment, upgrading and modernising. Ar Dato Zulkhairi Md Zain, a director at Multi-Spex Architects and a council member at Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia (PAM) and Teoh Tze Ping, Managing Director of lift-makers, KONE Malaysia, talk about the complexities of these issues.
