Kasturi Walk

This guide to Kasturi Walk in Kuala Lumpur follows a street's changing names, from colonial-era Rodger Street to Jalan Hang Kasturi, honoring a legendary Malay warrior from a fifteenth-century epic. You'll hear how the Art Deco Central Market next door narrowly escaped demolition in the 1970s, saved by the Malaysian Heritage Society. Listen for what the entrance arch above you is shaped like, and what this bazaar used to smell of before the stalls sold snacks and souvenirs.
