Dear All,
If you guys are like me, not necessarily agnate, but usually " jibing " around on the LRT.
More so often you will see some changes in the Kuala Lumpur skyline. 

Take this as example, for spiritual enlightenment, near Abdullah Hukum LRT station.. 


 
or at google user content, here .


Photo taken on  April 29, 2016, 3.46pm,
In conflict for space at a built-up area of Abdullah Hukum in Kuala Lumpur,
a mosque is virtually built well-nigh high in the sky!
(On top an auxiliary Car-Park Building as Common Property in a Strata-Tit​le Scheme.)

Will this new trend eventually take precedence?

Sorry the date taken written in the previous email was written as Saturday 14 April.
But the correct date should be Saturday 16 April 2016, 9.45am....

I was in such a hurry to get ready for the ICOMOS Malaysia, Children Art Competition
held yesterday, Sunday 17 April 2016, program starts at 9.00am at the,
Balai Seni Visual Kuala Lumpur (Simultaneously held at Melaka and Penang as well..)

Anyway, the date written at Picasa Web Albums is correct.

Picasa Web Albums, which previously allowed hosting by Yahoo users, is owned by Google.
Yahoo owns Flickr, but Google is now phasing out Picasa Web Albums, resorting to users
to transfer photos to Google Photos. Thus all my photos in web album can now be viewed
at Google Photos.

Actually I detest Google doing this for lack of privacy....insisting on Picasa Web Albums. But
who am I? Because at Picasa Web Albums, I can control who can view my photos by giving 
them the links, or open them to public.
I treat Picasa Web Albums as a Picture Blog, or Library, and whether I want to use my photos
for the subdomain blogspot.com, is my prerogative. Although blogspot.com is owned by Google.

The same photo above can now also be viewed at Google Photos:


I have to find some other ways in storing my photos for privacy.
I find that Flickr is not user friendly for people like me working secretly, "sub-rosa",
...and especially unpaid at that...
And, a none smartphone nor app user, still "sub-rosa"...hehe.

Maybe I should reconsider naming myself, "Sub-Ros.A"
Note*
"Sub rosa literally means "under the rose" in New Latin.
Since ancient times, the rose has often been associated with secrecy.
In ancient mythology, Cupid gave a rose to Harpocrates, the god of silence,
to keep him from telling about the indiscretions of Venus.
Ceilings of dining rooms have been decorated with carvings of roses, reportedly
to remind guests that what was said at the table should be kept confidential.
Roses have also been placed over confessionals as a symbol of the confidentiality
of confession.
Sub rosa entered the English language in the 17th century, and even before then,
people were using the English version, "under the rose."
Earlier still, unter der Rose was apparently used in Germany, where the phrase
is thought to have originated.

Hi all,

If you guys are like me, often riding the LRT,
from Petaling Jaya to Kuala Lumpur....

And, in between Kerinchi and Abdullah Hukum stations....
you need no stand in ovation ...but...

YOU GET TO READ THE MUSICAL SCORE OF "NEGARA KU"!

 
Taken on Saturday 14 April 2016, 9.45am...
whilst running late for the Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and Digital Photogrammetry talk at BWM.

To snap a photo like this one, using an outmoded Nokia N95 in standard mode,
I'll still need to adjust speed setting to "sport', ie. for a 1/1000second Exposure Time..!

It took me many return rides for one simple shot like this!!

BUT ONLY BY LRT RIDES....!
Come hop on it, try it...right place, right time....

Hi Nik Arif,
Thanks for concealing the above project from me after I raised the subject in my
previous email, thinking that it is an Auxiliary Building in a Strata-Titled Scheme.

My forgetting also that the site, was where the late Abdullah Hukum's house was located.
Thus now I know that it is an independent development, although forming part of the
Kumpulan SP Setia's "KL Eco City" Development Project, undertaken by your office,
GRA Architects Sdn Bhd.

I learnt this by accident, after reading the Berita Harian last Friday 10 June 2016,
under the "Ibrah b2 section", in 3 pages spread, enclosed herewith in jpeg format.
(I have scanned them: pages b1&b24 combined, as "map003at300dpi", and
page b2 as "mpabp003at300dpi", entitled "Masjid Atas Parkir" and "Masjid Pertama
Atas Bangunan Parkir", respectively.) Shared via Dropbox.

I am glad that now I know the whole story about the Mosque, instead of just sighting
it "Jibing the LRT"...from behind!

Glad also to see that you guys have relocated Abdullah Hukum's Old House into the
scheme, at the forecourt of the Mosque podium or the parking complex rooftop!

2 Main Texts from these 2 scanning pages:
"
Nama Abdullah Hukum terus kekal terpahat

Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum yang terletak di selatan sepanjang Jalan Bangsar,
antara Stesen Transit Aliran Ringan (LRT) Abdullah Hukum dan Sungai Klang
adalah penempatan awal masyarakat Melayu di Kuala Lumpur.
Mengikut sejarah, kampung itu sudah wujud sejak 200 tahun lalu dan diberi nama
Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum sempena nama Haji Abdullah Hukum Abdul Rahim
atau nama sebenarnya Muhammad Rukun yang lahir pada tahun 1835 di
Sumatera.
Beliau adalah tokoh yang terbabit secara langsung dalani pembangunan Kuala Lumpur
sebagai antara ketua yang membuka kawasan Pudu-Bukit Bintang dan membuka
kebun di Bukit Nenas selain kawasan Sungai Putih. Pada hari ini Sungai Putih dikenali
sebagai Jalan Bangsar.
Beliau bekerja sebagai petani dan kontraktor binaan sebelum beliau membuka tanah
perkampungan itu. Pembukaan tanah bekenaan mendapat perkenan dari Raja Laut
yang ketika itu Raja Muda Selangor.
Hidup dua zaman
Haji Abdullah Hukum selama 90 tahun lebih berada di Selangor dan di Kuala Lumpur
dapat merasakan pengalaman hidup dalam dua zaman, zaman  pemerintahan
Raja-raja Melayu selama dua dekad dan lebih tujuh dekad di bawah pemerintahan
British.
Beliau dapat melihat perbezaan di zaman pemerintahan British dengan zaman
pemerintahan Raja-raja Melayu terutamanya dapat melihat perubahan yang berlaku
ke atas masyarakat Melayu dengan jelas khususnya yang berada di Kuala Lumpur.
Pada zaman pemerintahan Raja-raja Melayu, Sultan Selangor, Sultan Abdul Samad
(1857-1989) serta pembesar dan penghulunya berkuasa penuh di negeri itu.
Kampung jadi bandar
Kawasan perkampungan Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum dikelilingi kawasan
komersial seperti Bangsar, Mid Valley Megamall, Universiti Malaya dan Bangsar
Selatan (sebelum ini dikenali sebagai Kampung Kerinchi).
Perkampungan itu mula mengalami transformasi pembangunan semula apabila
Kumpulan SP Setia Berhad melancarkan projek di kawasan itu sebagai hartanah
hijau bersepadu pertama di Kuala Lumpur yang kini dikenali sebagai KL Eco City
pada 2011.
Projek bernilai RM6 bilion itu dimajukan di kawasan seluas 9.6 hektar dengan
pembinaan kondominium, blok pejabat, pusat belibelah, selain ia menjadi hub
transit pengangkutan LRT dan KTMB Komuter antara bandar di bahagian sebelah
barat Kuala Lumpur.
"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"
Masjid pertama atas bangunan parkir

Berada di tengah-tengah bangunan pencakar langit dan apartmen mewah milik
KL Eco City, pembinaan Masjid Haji Abdullah Hukum di atas tempat letak
kenderaan setinggi lima tingkat dilihat mampu mengurangkan penggunaan tanah
sekali gus sesuai untuk bandar yang penduduk berkepadatan tinggi.
Mengambil nama sempena pengasas kampung itu, Haji Abdullah Hukum, masjid
dua tingkat berkeluasan 1,200 meter persegi itu boleh menampung1,500 jemaah
pada satu-satu masa apabila ia mula dibuka kepada orang ramai selepas Aidilfitri
akan datang.
Bercerita mengenai projek itu, arkitek dari GRA Architects Sdn Bhd, Hisham Abdul
Rahman berkata projek oleh pemaju Kumpulan SP Setia Berhad (SP Setia) itu
mengambil kira banyak aspek termasuk kepadatan penduduk dan yang ruang
terhad.
--------
"Seni bina masjid ini agak ringkas dan mementingkan keselesaan jemaah. Dari segi
pengudaraan kita menggunakan udara dari luar"  Hisham Abdul Rahman,
Arkitek
----------
Utama keselamatan
Katanya, menjadikan masjid sebahagian daripada pembangunan KL Eco City
adalah ilham pihak pengurusan SP Setia yang mahu mengekalkan masjid sedia
ada, namun kerana kekangan tanah untuk pembinaan kawasan letak kenderaan
jemaah, maka tercetus idea membina masjid di atas bangunan itu.
Masjid dua tingkat itu turut menyediakan kemudahan untuk orang tua dan orang
kurang upaya (OKU) seperti laluan bagi kerusi roda dan lif di tempat letak kenderaan.
Tempat solat wanita pula berada di bawah, manakala kelas pengajian disediakan di
tingkat atas.
Dengan pemandangan menghadap bangunan pusat beli-belah Mid Valley, hotel
The Garden dan sungai Klang, dataran berlandskap di masjid itu sesuai untuk warga
kota berehat serta berkelah di bawah beberapa pohon tamar yang ditanam di situ.

Mampu tampung 500 jemaah
Hisham berkata, dataran masjid mampu menampung kapasiti 500 jemaah dan boleh
digunakan untuk pelbagai majlis seperti kenduri. Menariknya, keseluruhan plaza yang
merangkumi masjid dan dataran itu dibina menghadap kiblat.
"Kita mementingkan fungsi masjid berbanding dekorasi untuk memberikan keselesaan
kepada jemaah. Penggunaan cat putih menjadikan masjid nampak lebih luas dan
penggunaan gentian kaca bertetulang konkrit (GFRC) bagi dinding luar yang
menampakkan dinding kelihatan lebih licin," katanya.
Kos keseluruhan pembinaan masjid berkenaan yang mencecah RM15.7 juta
ditanggung pihak SP Setia dan sebaik siap sepenuhnya nanti pengurusan masjid
akan diserahkan kepada pihak Jabatan Agama Islam Wilayah
Persekutuan (JAWI).

Kekalkan rumah bersejarah
Istimewanya masjid berkubah putih itu ialah rumah kayu yang tersergam kukuh di
sudut dataran masjid, satusatunya rumah kayu yang tinggal sebagai tanda
menunjukkan tapak yang kini dikenali sebagai KL Eco City, satu masa dulu
adalah kawasan perkampungan orang Melayu.
Bagi menghargai waris dan memelihara peninggalan sejarah,  pihak pemaju
memasang semula rumah asal penghulu yang juga pengasas kampung berkenaan
di kawasan dataran Masjid Haji Abdullah Hukum. Rumah kayu asal itu dibuka dengan
teliti oleh pihak kurator yang dilantik pemaju sebelum dipasang semula.
"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kindly Note*
Remember in those days immediately after finishing school in 1971, that
we used to sit at the Fresh Banana Fruit Stall along Jalan Bangsar, belonging
to Kamal Mustam's cousin, almost everyday watching traffic going by after
their work hours?....hehe...yup, those days!

Hehehe...ada orang baca BH juga? Masjid tu due for completion after Hari Raya. In shaa Allah kita arrange for solat Jumaat and lunch daun Pisang ke or whatever after that.
The mosque couldn't escape SP Setia's value engineering...the facades almost stripped off all the gfrc decorative screens, dapat save the front elevation facing the forecourt aje.
Rumah Abdullah Hukum is being reassembled back by NTQT..you may know them.

Thanks Arif,

That Berita Harian belongs to PAM, I happened to drop by the building on 
Friday afternoon, June 10, 2016. And on flipping through it, saw the article.
The following Monday, I rang PAM to get the staff help retrieved it, and for 
the scanning, since PAM has two A3 copiers/scanners in the office.
But alas, staff nowadays are not as cooperating, unlike the Tangsi days.
So, I made another effort to return and look for it myself in their store-room.
Took it to my sister for multiple-scanning, thus the patchworks via photoshop. 

Pity the Value Engineering dictates the final or finishing products, for short term
market end that so often the planned obsolescence is associated with activities
that tend to go for products with early deterioration or of inferior quality. And, I
would be wary of that. Given that often at acquisition stages the proposals were 
quoted at higher figures with original intents only be replaced on pursued orientations.

I am no expert on Value Engineering, but infobahn says, "Value, as defined, is
the ratio of function to cost." And, "Value engineering (VE) is a systematic method
to  improve the "value" of goods or products and services by using an examination
of function." Hence the keyword is often "lifetime"; as mirrored through the
"Value Analysis Techniques."
Thus, "A company will typically use the least expensive components that satisfy
the product's lifetime projections."......the result can be a presumptive diagnosis.

Maybe you can try convince them the composite gfrc has superior finishes such that
when financing warranted, can revert to original design, based on future maintenance. 

Anyway, I have more images on the other sides progressing viewed "Jibing the LRT". 



Some decisions made below:


Below are those images from Berita Harian again.
This time the 2 images being edited into photographic format via Photoshop,
showing the forecourt view and the project model. Can download via Dropbox.

Yes, I know of NTQT Sdn Bhd, the Conservation Works Contractor from Malacca.
The main principal is Haji Shaari Mat Saod.  
They normally work in collaboration with the Conservator,  Kamaruddin Said.
The latter is also a committee member in our ICOMOS Malaysia organisation.
The former, maybe I have met many times during those forums and talks,
on Conservation held in Malacca since 2009/2012.

In any case, Traditional Timber Structures, are easy subject to handle with,
since many of us are familiar and having live, and inhabited such buildings.
The main concern however, is in its preservation to retrain dilapidation via proper
detailing of dissimilar materials that can weakens the elements by corrosion or the
structural integrity of the timber itself if inadequate knowledge of its properties and
strength.
Our climatic condition is always a major factor, including the thermodynamic effects
to create such equilibrium with the environment or where the structure is located.
Only over time that the true story will emerge.

Ah yes,  
please arrange for this group solat Jumaat at the Mosque when completed after Raya.
And, the makan thereafter...

Thanks for the offer.

WooeR

Lame?....a funny choice for word Amek...
but this is really a different kettle of fish ....

I do not know whether to be flustered or at odd confused by your reply.
Sounding more like limp,...using a disorder an expression for dysfunction.
Whilst the building is in the process of erection, near to completion.

Here it comes with it's own aesthetic qualities, fulfilling form and functions.
Not to mention, cost implication governed by value engineering.
You should not compare it to other monumental structures.
The story here is about a place, the tangible heritage of Abdullah Hukum. 

And, talking about tangible item, a photograph can be one... 
where credit should be given to the owner, ie. the photographer, and or 
fabricator, if extra input, editing for retouching to enhance final product etc..

I have something here to show you, that I acquired from your ex-teacher,
our Resident Master of the Pavilion, Upper Sixth Formers' Hostel of 1971.
He contacted me in 2005, wanting to attend the "MCOBA  Royal Gala Dinner", 
our final event of the MCKK 100 Years Celebration, ie. Centenary.
He came all the way from US for the very purpose, arriving a day prior whilst we,
the Concert Organisers, were having the final Concert Rehearsal at MATIC.

Below: Shidi, me, Roger Pryor, Mat Poen, Dato' Latt Shariman and Rehman Rashid.
Also, other people that came ...(???)
Below: My friend Awie's friend, Erra Fazira, with Hisham Rais.
 
All at,

In 2009, Roger Pryor again came here, while on transit en-route to an
archaeological excavation volunteer camp. That year I too managed to get
him a ticket to attend the MCOBA Annual Dinner, a complimentary one for
our Ex-MCKK Staff.
And for that, in return, he gave me 2 rolls of photo negatives, saying they
were the last remaining in his possession of MCKK collection.
(He informed me prior to 2005 for the Centenary Celebration, he lent MCOBA
some photo albums, but they were never used nor returned to him!) 

I managed to scan those 2 rolls of film negatives of about 60 images.
Among them, is a photo of you during the School's Pangkor Island trip in early 1971.

 

And, couple of photos inside the school's Old Library,
but not this immediately one below, snapped by Zabas.
(Below is a 1970 photo of me outside the Library when closed over Weekend.)
 

See how beautiful and compact the MCKK Old Library used to be:
These 2 photos below were snapped by Roger Pryor in 1971.
The latter was one of those rarest occasions when I was discovered inside
the Library (standing next to Chet).
 



Since we are talking about how beautiful the MCKK Old Library was.
I have another photo here below which is a Classic one.
It was given to me back in between 2005-2009, when I was busy helping
Coaching the MCKK Rugby Team, involved with the MCOBA Theatre Group,
Hargreaves Hallers (Bargeaves Ballerz), MCOBA Committee, OBW and the
MCOBA Archiving, until I was tired and them kicking me out for the pro bono,
finally with a little honorarium to my chagrin!

The photo below was given to me for cleaning, by a younger brother of one of
these members of boys from MCKK Class of 64, inside the MCKK Old Library,
in 1962, back when they were in Form Three!!

It belongs to Kassim Ahmad of MCKK Class of 65, whose elder brother,
"The late Mariner", is squatted below with Lokman Mohd Nor C64, in the centre
of the photo .

But can you guys guess who the person is, standing behind at the centre of
these two?....haha.
The photo is sure to be one of the MCKK Classic Photos*.....!!!
....very famous guy indeed...
NB* Please do not distribute the photo outside this group!!
It belongs to Kassim Ahmad C65.
I'm only a caretaker...a privilege for doing the editing...

 

The above B&W collection are stored at WooeR[at]WerK with authorised key

Guys,
In my previous mailing, "The late Mariner", whom I mentioned as squatting
next to Lokman Mohd Nor C64, in the centre of the bottom photo, his name
was Capt. Muhammad Yusof b. Haji Ahmad, who passed away peacefully in
his sleep on July 19, 2009. He was an avid blogger using the pseudonym,
"The Ancient Mariner". Read his past collection... The Ancient Mariner
