In this episode, we look at Chin Woo Stadium, located on Petaling Hill and accompanied by other iconic sporting monuments around the vicinity. While it may not be as well-known as Stadium Merdeka and Stadium Nasional, Chin Woo Stadium continues to serve the community for sporting and cultural events and is very much still relevant, despite its old age. We unpack the story behind the stadium.
