Ong Kian Ming : 118 Storey Tower – Do we really need this project?

On 9 March 2013, PTMN organized a talk – Public Consultation: “Warisan Merdeka, Menara 118-Storey Project & Surrounding Community.

Below is the transcript of the speech by Ong Kian Ming, researcher & former UCSI Lecturer (currently a Member of Parliament for Serdang):

PNB has said, “Look, we need to build this tower because there’s a lack of supply in office space in KL and that this is a commercially viable project that can sustain us in terms of income and also give us good profits”. What has not really been discussed publicly is the fact that there is an over glut of office supply space in KL.

So this is a report by Cushman & Wakefield, you can see that this is the latest quarter, 4th quarter of 2012. You can see a spike in the percentage of unoccupied office space here in KL, up to 25% already.

Not only that, we see two big mega projects coming in. The Tun Razak Exchange, just off Jalan Tun Razak, will add another 4.7 million square feet over the next 15 years. Menara Warisan will add another 3 million square feet in the next 10 years. So you can see, you are adding more space in an already oversupplied market.

All this other reports and newspaper articles have been reported in the last two years: “Klang Valley to Face Oversupply of Office Space”.

So when you add another 4 million square feet in this KL CBD in the form of 118 Tower, how sustainable is it going to be? Is it going to be another white elephant project? After building this whole commercial project, nobody wants to move in and then it becomes something which is underutilised, which could have been put to a much better use in terms of keeping it as public space.

Only those two buildings now are protected and listed as National Heritage Buildings so they cannot be touched, at least now lah you know, cos in Malaysia anything can happen.

We can look to the National Heritage act to try to protect not just these two stadiums but the whole area around the stadium. Because if under article 40 of the National Heritage Act, when you want to apply for planning permission in the place in the heritage site, you also need to make sure that measures have been taken to ensure the safety of the heritage site and the neighbouring land, the land that is around Stadium Merdeka and Stadium Negara. So any approval or any application to want to build buildings around this Stadium Merdeka and Stadium Negara needs to take into account protecting not just the integrity of these two buildings but also the characters of these two buildings.

The Stadium Complex was considered part of Taman Tunku as recent as the KL Draft Plan in 1987. This is before the land was privatised and given to UEM, I think, illegally.

You look at the sports areas, the Stadium Complex and Taman Tunku, they are considered as one area. How can they be separated out, only the two stadiums designated as National Heritage Site and then Taman Tunku privatised and given to PNB to go and develop? There’s clearly something wrong here. Why was it, this was changed?

Vancouver Stanley Park has 1001 acres and it has half a million trees. This is downtown Vancouver, you just walk less than 5 minutes and you reach there already. Mexico City is one of the most congested cities in the whole world with over 20 million people and yet in the middle of Mexico City, they have a park that is 1700 acres. Given the fact that we have all these public parks around the world right in the heart of very, very crowded cities, what we are asking for is actually not a lot.

Stadium Complex and Taman Tunku – we are just asking for 30 acres. It’s only 30 acres compared to the thousand acres, 800 acres, that you can see in other major cities in the world. I think it’s important for us, not just to stop this Menara 118 but to actually restore Taman Tunku and ask the government to give this as a gift to the people, to restore this as the rightful place of the people so that we can enjoy it just like all these other major cities in the world.

Merdeka Park (Tunku Park) — Reserved Land for the PEOPLE

On 9 March 2013, PTMN organized a talk – Public Consultation: “Warisan Merdeka, Menara 118-Storey Project & Surrounding Community.

Below is the transcript of the speech by Mak Khuin Weng, former MBPJ councillor and journalist:

In 1932, the British Government then, actually did two reservations of the area.

This is the area where the National Stadium is, it is to be reserved for a public purpose – a peoples’ park to be maintained by the chairman of Sanitary Board Kuala Lumpur.

So you have under our laws, the area that has already been reserved for a public purpose. When the land is reserved for a public purpose, the land can only be used for that purpose. So what the British Government did back then, when they reserved it for a park, and they reserved the area for a school, those areas can only be used for that particular purpose and for no other purpose.

According to our laws, here again the National Code says, state land means all land in the state other than alienated land, which is your private land. Reserved land, here it says, reserved land is not state land. It means it doesn’t belong to the government.

What does reserved land actually mean? It actually means that land that has been reserved for a public purpose and is maintained by people –taxpayers’ money. In our case here for Kuala Lumpur, a public park is to be maintained by DBKL and your taxpayers’ money goes towards the maintenance of that public park.

Here you have the land sold off to a private developer. How did this happen? That is a very important question to ask. According to our laws, our government could not have sold this land because it was technically the people’s land – land that was set aside for the people for a public purpose. It could not have sold it, but it was sold.

All of you have been having trouble trying to get DBKL to give you a public hearing, public consultation and they are refusing you.

I have here what you call ‘Total Planning and Development Guidelines’. This is published by the Department of Town and Country Planning, Peninsula Malaysia which is under the Ministry of Housing & Local Government. I’m here to tell you that our government actually has rules and laws that require them to give public consultation.

Merdeka Park: KL Citizens Made Their ‘Voice’ Heard

On 24 August 2013, a group of Malaysians made their voice heard (or rather, seen) by PARK(ing) and decorating the fence around Merdeka Park with posters to demand the return of Merdeka Park and to object the construction of the 118-storey Menara Warisan and Warisan Merdeka development.

by Andrew Ng Yew Han

Petition to Object 118 Storey Menara Warisan and Warisan Merdeka Development

During the Budget 2011 Presentation, Prime Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak announced the RM5 billion Warisan Merdeka development in three phases over 10 years, starting with the 118-storey Menara Warisan.  Besides the 118-storey Menara Warisan, Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) will be building two blocks of 40-storey service apartment, a block of 40-storey hotel with 7-storey of commercial spaces and 5 levels of basement for car parks.

The Warisan Merdeka development will be built on the site of Taman Merdeka Negara (Taman Tunku) and National Heritage Sites area (Stadium Merdeka and Stadium Negara).

Taman Merdeka Negara (1958), together with Chin Woo Stadium (1953), the Merdeka Stadium (1957) and the Stadium Negara (1962) belongs to the Rakyat. They are for public use, enjoyment and reflection and they represent the commemorative legacy of our pre-and post-Merdeka history. Collectively, the hill with its park, stadiums and surrounding communities, was once a sustainable civic space as a whole.

We, the rakyat, are disgusted that not only will our public space be stolen from us but that the proposed structure and the accompanying development will forever change the historical and cultural landscape of the Merdeka Heritage and the history of our nation forever.

Merdeka Park- A Park for the People: Landscape Model and Pictorial History Exhibition

When: 31 August at 10:00 until 16 September at 18:00 in UTC+08

Where: Atelier Art Space | Gallery, Unit 7, 3rd Floor, Block D, Jaya One, Jalan Universiti, Section 13, 46200 Petaling Jaya.

Merdeka Park was once a favorite leisure and recreational Park for KL residents from 1958 to 1990s. Originally named the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park in honour of its initiator, the first Prime Minister of Malaya, this was later changed to Merdeka Park by Tunku himself as he wanted the name to better reflect the park as a public space for all people and to commemorate Malaya’s independence.

“Stanley Jewkes, architect-engineer of the Stadium Merdeka and Stadium Negara as well as the Merdeka Park (that replaced the Coronation Park), commented that the area was likened to an acropolis, not unlike its counterpart in Athens, that in essence represented a space for democracy and which replaced the colonial grounds of the Padang area with large grounds for the public during the Independence period.” – Dr. Lai Chee Kien.

During the opening ceremony on April 20th, 1958, Tunku declared the park to be “FOR ALL PEOPLE FOR ALL POSTERITY” that means “for all people for all future generations”. However, in 1997 Merdeka Stadium, National Stadium and the Merdeka Park were handed to UEM, a government link company in exchange for building new National Sports Complex in Bukit Jalil. In 1998 the entire park was cordoned off and its structures either demolished or transferred.

“Merdeka Park- A Park for the People,” an exhibition curated by Heritage Conservationist Teoh Chee Keong, runs through August at the Atelier Art Space | Gallery, Unit 7, 3rd Floor, Block D, Jaya One, Jalan Universiti, Section 13, 46200 Petaling Jaya. The exhibition showcases old photos of Merdeka Park as well as a landscape model.

Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday-Friday. For more information visit Atelier Art Space | Gallery FB page or call +60379607253.

The Star – Champion of public works

Sunday July 10, 2011

By LAI CHEE KIEN

He came to our shores as a young man in his 20s and left us with enduring landmarks.

MALAYSIA lost one of her most important architect-engineers when Tan Sri Stanley Edward Jewkes, OBE, passed away peacefully in the United States last month, aged 97.

STANLEY EDWARD JEWKES
Oct 9, 1913 – June 19, 2011

Jewkes was the architect and engineer of Stadium Merdeka (1957) and Stadium Negara (1962), both located on Petaling Hill, and was the Director of the Public Works Department (PWD) from 1959 to 1962.

He arrived in Malaya in 1941 to join the PWD, serving first in the districts of Kerian and Keroh in Perak. When World War II broke out, he was made a lieutenant in the Federated Malay States Volunteer Force that fought the Japanese as they advanced southwards towards Singapore.

He was a passenger – together with PWD staff members K. Nunn and K. Brundle – on the S.S. Kuala that was sunk by the Japanese. From Pulau Pompong (off the coast of Sabah), Jewkes went on to serve in the Indian Army as a technical co-ordination officer before returning to Malaya.

Born in the United States, he travelled to Birmingham in Britain with his parents after World War I and won a scholarship to study at Dudley Grammar School. He then read engineering and architecture at Northampton Institute as well as the London Polytechnic before being hired as the chief engineer of British Steel Construction. His interests straddled the professions and he was associated with both the Royal Institute of British Architects as well as the Institute of Civil Engineers in London.

After World War II, he returned to Kuala Lumpur to reinstate the railway system before settling at PWD HQ. In 1950, he was asked to head the department’s new Design and Research Branch, and in that capacity, he ensured that engineering capabilities of the department were maintained on par with most developed nations in the world.

As director of the PWD, he convinced the Cabinet to agree to his proposals for the location of a triumvirate of national structures: the Parliament House was to be sited at its present location near Lake Gardens, adjacent to the National Monument and Masjid Negara. The last was subsequently relocated upon the insistence of Tunku Abdul Rahman.

For the people: An aerial view of Stadium Merdeka, Stadium Negara and Merdeka Park. Both Tunku Abdul Rahman and Jewkes suggested this area should be maintained as a civic space for all Malaysians for all posterity.

Jewkes also provided preliminary designs for both the Parliament House and the National Monument, which were relinquished at his own instructions in favour of designs by W. Ivor Shipley and Felix de Weldon, respectively.

Together with Tunku, he had envisioned Kuala Lumpur’s Petaling Hill (formerly Coronation Park) to be the prime civic, green public space for all Malaysians for all posterity. For this reason, the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park (later Merdeka Park, 1958) was landscaped with many features including a Merdeka Sun Clock that Jewkes also designed.

Elsewhere on the hill, Stadium Merdeka won global engineering accolades as having the tallest prestressed structures in the world at the time with its 42m-tall (140 feet) lighting towers, as well as the longest cantilevering shell roofs. For the unique roof structure design at Stadium Negara, Jewkes left instructions for its materials to be changed after 20 years but this was eventually not carried out.

His other contributions include reworking and clarifying traffic circulations around Kuala Lumpur, as well as supervising the construction of Klang Gates Dam for KL’s water supply, the site of which he also determined after extensive surveys.

Apart from hands-on architectural work, Jewkes initiated important administrative steps at the PWD: He developed the Fast Track method of project administration and construction, and permitted private sector consultants to assist with projects, such as inviting BEP Akitek in for the terminal design of Subang International Airport.

Under his charge, the Engineering Faculty as well as Pantai Valley for Universiti Malaya were designed and completed within a year of the decision to transfer it from Singapore.

Jewkes was equally thorough and incorruptible in his administrative roles. He taught Advanced Engineering at the KL Technical College and nurtured a whole generation of local engineers at the PWD who would take over after his departure from Malaysia; this included his method of awarding overseas engineering scholarships based on meritocracy.

It was extremely fortuitous for Malaysia that he was helming the country’s developmental agency at the most crucial time for post-war KL and Malaysia. His multiple interests in engineering, architecture and city planning made him the perfect person for the job.

Jewkes joined the American consultancy firm Louis Berger after his work in Malaysia; while there, he designed a version of Stadium Negara in Thailand: the Kittikachorn Indoor Stadium in Bangkok, among other projects.

Besides family and projects, he had sustained his early interest in philosophy by ruminating on his life in relation to his own encounters; he eventually compiled and published these as Humankind: Planet Earth’s Most Enigmatic Species in 2001 under the pseudonym “Arcas” (ISBN: 978-0759687875, 1st Books Library).

In my interview with Mr Jewkes that I conducted in 2002, he told me about the book and I feel it is appropriate to close this obituary with his words in that book: “My dealings with people throughout the world, of different ethnicities, of different religious beliefs, led me to believe that we’re all the same; we’re very enigmatic. No one is better than anyone else or worse than anyone else.”

> Stanley Edward Jewkes leaves behind his wife Ella, his daughter Carole, his son Peter and their families.

The Malay Mail – To the man who built our stadiums

July 5, 2011

KL: Tan Sri Stanley Edward Jewkes (1903-2011)

IT is with great sadness Badan Warisan Malaysia records the passing of Tan Sri Stanley Edward Jewkes (pic) on June 19, in Florida, US. Jewkes would have turned 98 this October.

Jewkes served in the Public Works Department (PWD) until 1962, and continued throughout his life to speak fondly of his time working here.

He established the Design and Research Branch of the PWD to ensure competent, efficient and cutting-edge engineering and architectural practices.

He designed Stadium Merdeka, Stadium Negara and the Merdeka Park, a ten-acre park on the north side of the Merdeka Stadium, with its umbrella-shaped bandstand commonly known as “the mushroom” because of its shape, and the Merdeka Clock, a sundial incorporating the local mean time as well as the date in the zodiac calendar.

In the commemorative programme for the opening of Stadium Merdeka on Aug 30, 1957, the late premier Tunku Abdul Rahman commended Jewkes for finishing the work on time.

He said: “Its completion in record time is an achievement for which the engineers and contractors deserve abundant credit. I wish to thank them all, particularly Mr. S. E. Jewkes of the PWD, who spared no efforts to ensure works was completed by Merdeka Day and whose planning and engineering skill had produced such perfect results.”

Designing Stadium Merdeka began on July 15, 1956, with work commencing on Sept 25. Using just a slide rule to do the drawings and engineering calculations, Jewkes made a total of 160 drawings outside of his regular office work. As soon as he completed a major design aspect or finished detailed work, he would hand the drawings over to an engineer. He was always present on site and focused on completing the project within the specified time frame.

Jewkes was PWD director when he designed and built Stadium Negara (1962), adjacent to Stadium Merdeka and the Merdeka Park. He continued to refer to this site as an “acropolis” in the middle of the city. A multi-purpose indoor stadium to be used for exhibitions, conventions, indoor games, concerts and even ice rink-shows, Stadium Negara was built to accommodate over 10,000 people.

An engineering feat of its time, with a 300-foot diameter column-free space, with an innovative concave suspended roof system with a central circular truss ring held in place by cables from a larger concentric truss ring system.

Badan Warisan deputy president Laurence Loh said: “Although I never met the man, I feel as if I know him intimately in the context of his creations, viz. Stadium Merdeka and Stadium Negara, having been associated with their conservation since 2003. By having to prepare the conservation plans for both the stadia, I had to study the two buildings in depth over many years, down to the most minute detail.

I have walked along the corridors and through the spaces he created in search of a way to understand his thought processes. I have felt his presence in the architectural details, the muted colours, his use of art, his contemporary materials and his plans. I had the chance to study, close up, the way he designed his buildings to respond to the tropical climate and I have learnt many valuable lessons. He was way ahead of his time, a genius that walked on Malaysian soil and gave it places with a spirit of place and depth of memory.”

Jewkes graduated as an engineer from the Institute of Civil Engineers after which he became an associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in London. He served under Her Majesty’s Home Guard, where he held several positions throughout Malaya and the Far East in the war against Japan. He is a survivor from the fall of Singapore, and later served under “Viniger Joe” Stillwell’s 14th Allied Army.

He received an O.B.E. from Queen Elizabeth II in 1958 for meritorious service to the United Kingdom.

After leaving the Malayan Civil Service, he joined a large international consultancy group in the US. He worked in over 70 countries directing projects and studies including for the World Bank and the United Nations. He retired at the age of 75 in Florida. He is also the author of Humankind? Planet Earth’s Most Enigmatic Species, published in 2002.

Malaysia owes a lot to Tan Sri Stanley Jewkes.

Pada 31 Ogos 1957, laungan “Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka” telah bergema di Stadium Merdeka buat sulung kalinya oleh rakyat sebuah bangsa Malaya yang bebas dan merdeka. Hari Merdeka telah disambut dengan semangat kesamarataan semua lapisan kaum tanpa mengira darjat atau kelas, hasil perjuangan dan pengorbanan rakyat dari semua lapisan dan aliran.

Untuk mengabadikan hari bersejarah ini, sebuah taman untuk rakyat telah mula dibina bersebelahan Stadium Merdeka beberapa hari sebelum pengisytiharan kemerdekaan di Kuala Lumpur. Taman rakyat ini diberi nama Taman Merdeka.

Untuk merasmikan taman rakyat ini, Tunku Abdul Rahman telah menanam sepohon pokok di Taman Merdeka sebagai simbol lahirnya sebuah bangsa yang merdeka.

Taman Merdeka, sebuah ruang awam yang bebas dan terbuka untuk semua rakyat tanpa mengira bangsa merupakan salah satu warisan kemerdekaan rakyat, dan merupakan salah satu simbol kebebasan, kesamarataan, demokrasi dan perpaduan rakyat.

Kini, Taman Merdeka sudah tiada lagi. Pokok yang ditanam Tunku sudah ditebang. Taman rakyat telah dirampas dan dimusnah, bakal diganti dengan sebuah menara pencakar langit milik korporat PNB yang akan mula dibina bulan depan tanpa persetujuan rakyat.

Segala memorandum dan surat-surat bantahan yang telah diserahkan kepada Datuk Bandar KL dan PNB tidak dipedulikan.

Pada 31 Ogos ini, bersama kita raikan Hari Merdeka dengan memperingati Taman Merdeka dan semangat kemerdekaan sebenar, dan membantah rampasan tanah rakyat dan ruang awam untuk keuntungan korporat.

Fight the Tower! Bebaskan Taman Merdeka!

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

This was Merdeka Park, enjoyed by all Malaysians since 1957 until it was demolished to build the 118 mega-tower project.

It was the second oldest park in KL, built a few days before Merdeka 1957 by Tunku Abdul Rahman as a gift to the people as a symbol of our freedom & independence.

In 1997, it was torn down without public consent despite the park still being fully used at that time.

The companies responsible for this demolition will replace this historical icon with a 118-storey office tower, a shopping mall, luxury condominium and a 4-star hotel.

This will make it accessible & enjoyable only for the privileged, not for ALL.

By coming down to Merdeka Park-ing, we can demonstrate how public spaces can be used for diverse purposes, where citizens can regularly interact and make meaningful connections.

****

This event is organised by Merdeka KL, a group of ordinary Malaysians from Klang Valley who care about public spaces.
