About this audio guide
This guide to Sungei Wang Plaza starts with BB Park, the Shaw Brothers entertainment complex that stood here from the 1930s, where a ten-year-old Teresa Tang once sang before becoming a celebrated Chinese pop star. It follows the mall that replaced the park in the mid-1970s, its Olympic-size skating rink and Malaysia's first indoor cinema, and the youth culture built on affordable jeans and late nights in its maze of stalls.
