Demolition work on part of the Pudu Jail wall finally began Monday night when an excavator started tearing down the ancient structure here in Kuala Lumpur.
The tearing down of the wall began from inside the prison area at about 10.20pm and onlookers who had gathered started taking photographs to capture the historic moment.
The prison stopped operating in 1996 when the building could no longer cater to the high volume of up to 6,550 people at a time since 1985 and prisoners were subsequently shifted to the Sungai Buloh Prison, 36km from here.
