Hello Walkers 👋🏻
The original building was built in 1888 by the British in colonial British Malaya. It was used as a wet market for Kuala Lumpur citizens and tin miners. The Wet Market was very convenient to the early city dwellers because it was within the vicinity of the Klang bus stand, the hub of feeder bus service for Kuala Lumpur and the train station.
Further expansions were made in 1889, 1895, 1920 and 1921. By 1933, the expansions to the warehouse made the market now in its present size and cost around $167,000.
As Kuala Lumpur experienced its development rapidly in the 1970s, there were plans to demolish the site. The intervention of the Malaysian Heritage Society proved timely as they successfully petitioned against its deconstruction, and the site was declared as a 'Heritage Site'.
During construction of Dayabumi near Klang River banks in 1981, the market was saved from demolition. The adaptive reuse renovation commenced in October 1985 and was completed in April 1986 to be officially launched during PATA Conference 1986.[2] Central Market was renovated into a vibrant and colourful new style and had been officially known as Pasar Budaya, although popularly called Pasar Seni.
