Located along Jalan Hang Kasturi, a few minutes away
from Petaling Street, Central Market which was built in
1888 was originally a wet market. It has since been
classified as a Heritage Site by the Malaysian Heritage
Society and it is now a landmark for Malaysian culture
and heritage. Central Market is in the heart of Kuala
Lumpur and strategically located with public
transportation links to all major destinations and hotels
while the KL Sentral railway station is only 1 km away.
The KL Sentral railway station provides fast and
convenient connections to most parts of Kuala Lumpur
as well as to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
Malaysia is well known for her multi-racial culture
where people of different races live in peace and
perfect harmony. Central Market has created a corner to
display multi ethnicity and zoned the stalls based on
the features of each race. The new zone therefore
would consist of 3 lanes: namely the Lorong Melayu,
Straits Chinese and Lorong India. The purpose of this
new zone is to let the visitors have an insight of the
cultural difference of the various races in Malaysia.
There's also a Malacca Jonker street a street featuring
double storey and single storey Baba-Nyonya styled
architectural buildings, a Batik Emporium which
houses well known designer labels with the best
Malaysian made batik items ranging from clothes,
shoes, bags to home finishing.
Central Market is a one stop shopping centre for
Malaysian products such as handicrafts, art, kebaya,
songket, batik and the wide variety of Malaysian
cuisine. Efforts to improvise and upgrade facilities in
Central Market also include having a wider variety of F &
B outlets such as Secret Recipe, Old Town Kopitiam,
Kings Confectionary, Famous Amos, Precious
Restaurant (Traditional Baba Nyonya Cuisine) , Ginger
Restaurant (Traditional Malaysian Thai Cuisine) and
many more.
Not to forget, the colorful Malaysian Traditional Cultural
and Arts events are now held at the Central Market
Outdoor Stage. Central Market celebrates all the
Traditional Festival of each race in Malaysia such as
Hari Raya Festival, Chinese New Year Festival,
Deepavali Festival, Punjabi Festival and lots more.
Other than the traditional cultural events, Central Market
supports the local contemporary arts such as Art
Exhibition, Video Screening, Independent Music
Concert and lots more in The Annexe Gallery.
The proposed exercise is to give Central Market, a
building with a 120 years history a new identity to attract
younger generations to appreciate the need for racial
tolerance and the need for racial integration. As we all
know, Central Market is a historic landmark of Kuala
Lumpur and there can be no other better place to
remind the younger generations of the Malaysian
Culture that has been so entrenched that people of all
races can come together to live in peace and harmony.
How to get there By Foot or Taxi
Central Market is on Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock,
opposite the Klang Bus Stand.
By Train
The Pasar Seni station on the PUTRA LRT line is right
outside Central Market.
