when i watch the video, obviously i can see a lot of changes since 1986. In 1986, there's really few high building such as PNB building, Tabung Haji Tower and Bernama Building.
Compared it to now, there are a lot of changes and A LOT of skyscrapers being built; Vista Tower (formerly Empire Tower), Dua Residensy etc. At that time also, there's no tunnel (actually, it's not really a tunnel) crossing the junction of Jalan Tun Razak/ Jalan Ampang but now there's a big tunnel under it!
PNB building also looked really new as i watch the roof of the podium was really shiny compare to now, the roof is really dirty and they need to be change desperately.
in the video you can see no Vista Tower (formerly Empire Tower), no Doubletree Hotel (formerly Crown Princess Hotel) and there's only City Square alone without 2 big buildings on it. and now, even the City Square has been demolished and replaced with the brand new modern looking Intermark Mall. there's also a tower called Intermark Tower (40 floors) that is still under construction on top of the new mall.
There used to be a lot of trees along Jalan Tun Razak which i never see see now. but now, it is really hard to see any trees in those amount anymore. maybe because of the maintenance cost, DBKL decided to chopped the trees down. i wish we still have all those trees now =(
Some pics i took in 2009...
