Kuala Kubu Bharu - Quintessential, Quaint, Beautiful

In conjunction with the upcoming by-election happening this weekend, I Love KL decides to travel out of Klang Valley slightly, to pay a figurative visit to Kuala Kubu Bharu. We look at the history of the place, what it’s known for now, and whether the negative aspects of development will ever come to this quaint little town.
