Abstract

Kuala Lumpur is like another aspirational global city with the world; throbbing with vitality and kinetic activity as more and more buildings mushroom and reach for the sky, and cars a-plenty whizz frenetically along its arterial highways.

Not surprisingly, KL is also a place where the hopes, dreams, and despair of many converge, tussle and unravel. Embedded within these diverse energies is the central question of who has the Right to the City.

During a brief relaxation of COVID-19 lockdown in 2021, this question was posed to a number of denizens of Kuala Lumpur, young and old.

The podcast was guided by some of the writings of Associate Professor Yeoh Seng-Guan on Kuala Lumpur.

The comic created was based on an interpretation of the podcast.

This project was funded by the School of Arts & Social Sciences awarded to Associate Professor Yeoh Seng-Guan.
