Pudu Jail as seen from my hotel Room at Berjaya Times Square Hotel in 2006.

The main gate of Pudu Prison has been preserved and forms part of a public park on the grounds of the Bukit Bintang City Centre.

Pudu Prison officially ceased operations in 1996 due to several factors. Built by the British Government between 1891 and 1895, it stood on Jalan Shaw (now Jalan Hang Tuah). It served as a prison until 2007.

Pudu Prison was said to be very haunted, as the prisoners that were hung there are still haunting the place and very much active and still living the life's of the prisoner even in the afterlife.

** The Pudu Prison was largely demolished by December 2012 to make way for urban development. It was never declared a National Heritage Site.

Some recent events ...

In June 2009, the government finally decided to destroy the complex by developing it in phases. When the MP for Bukit Bintang Fong Kui Lun (DAP) asked why the building is not being retained as part of Malaysia's heritage, Deputy Finance Minister Awang Adek Hussain (UMNO-BN) replied: "To our opinion, it's not something to be proud of."

And, June 2010, the eastern wall of the Pudu Prison complex was destroyed to make way for a road widening project.
