Pekeliling Flats
Pekeliling Flats, better known as Tunku Abdul Rahman Flats was the third high-rise apartment building in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia built after Razak Mansion and Suleiman Courts.
History
The Pekeliling Flats were built between 1964 and 1967 to accommodate the lower income group and squatter people in the city. They were seven blocks of the flats and four-storey shop houses located on Jalan Pekeliling and Jalan Pahang, built at cost of RM20.5 million which was launched by the Kuala Lumpur Federal Capital Commissions .Current state
Blocks A and B were the first to be demolished in mid-2006 to make way for a proposed luxury apartment development project. However almost a decade had passed and the apartment was never built; the plot of land where Block A & B once stood remained empty and has turned into a 'mini jungle'.The remaining blocks on the other side of the road was earmarked to be demolished later. The last family was evacuated to Setapak in 2008. However, for some time after that the blocks continues to stand, appearing as a sore thumb in the Kuala Lumpur skyline.
