I entered a couple of 10km runs so far this year which was
held at Merdeka Square. To and fro the Masjid Jamek LRT Station, I would pass
by the Sultan Abdul Samad building which is on the way to the venue. A thought
entered my mind today, unbidden, about this building which is rich in history.
It is a humongous piece of real estate in Jalan Raja, designed
by A.C Norman and had its foundation built by Sir Charles Mitchell from 1893
and completed in 1896. It was the seat of power for the Federated Malay States
administration. Among the historical events that this building witnessed were
the declaration of independence of Malaya and lowering of the Union Jack Flag
and also the standardization of the time between west Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak
and Singapore.
In 1972, it housed the courts of justice and since then it
has seen through events such as the death sentencing of Wong Swee Chin, a.k.a
Botak Chin, Mona Fendi ; viewed respectively as the Robin Hood of our country
and our very own Mrs. Lovett minus making pies out of the hacked human meat,
and the jail sentence of our supposed anal raping politician, Anwar Ibrahim.
Now as you look closer past the outer gates into this
building, it is a sad decaying sight. Run down, dusty and unkempt is this
historical site of Malaysia which has faded along with the usual “tidak apa”
attitude that we have. The only time we seem to care about this building is on
the 31st of August where it is all about the façade just like how we
have been taught and treat our history in schools; just stand at a distance,
shouting and raving about independence and watching the fireworks without
pondering on the meaning of it.
VS
In the present day, our building heritage is
meaningless mega malls like KLCC, Pavilion and MidValley which is there just to
feed our unending appetite of acquiring things. It represents one of the most
recent and lasting culture that we as Malaysians and even developed nations
have; consumerism.
