About this audio guide
This guide to KOMTAR JBCC in Johor Bahru starts with the six letters in the complex's name and the Malaysian prime minister they belong to. It goes back to a March day in nineteen seventy-nine, when another prime minister came to open the building, and to a family tie between the two men. You'll also hear about the mall's rebuild in twenty thirteen and the cartoon tenant that drew queues to level three.
