About this audio guide
This guide to Suria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur starts on the site's earlier life as the Selangor Turf Club, a colonial-era racetrack that ran its last horses in August 1992 before bulldozers moved in within the year. It follows Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's decision to build here, the mall's 1998 opening while cranes still worked on the towers overhead, and a costly halt after a batch of concrete failed its strength test. You'll also hear about the two construction teams, one Japanese and one Korean, racing each other up the towers above.
