Thank you for this work! It would serve as a virtual heritage preservation for us in years to come! I'm blogging about how I remember this wall being painted as a child & this would help me in stating some facts down. Thank you again!

Dear Mariana, My name is Sharon Chin. I'm a visual artist, writer and I also co-manage a website on art and culture in Malaysia called ARTERI (www.arterimalaysia.com) You may have heard by now that demolition works began on Pudu jail some days ago. Some news links for you: http://www.mmail.com.my/content/16078... http://www.badanwarisan.org.my/conten... It's a heartbreaking moment, to say the least. Over a century of history in those walls, broken down so suddenly. I am trying to compile some features on ARTERI about Pudu jail. Although we can't turn back the clock, at least we can try to open up more discussion on the site and implant more of its history in people's minds. I would be really honoured if we can have your paper available on ARTERI as a download. I actually found it through googling on Scribd site. I think you perfectly encapsulate all that needs to be said about Pudu jail. If only more people had read it and taken action sooner. You will be fully attributed of course. If you would like to add any of your present thoughts, that would be even better. If you agree, could you also provide a two-line bio so that I can add it at the end? I.e. Mariana Isa is.... Do let me know how you feel about this. I really hope you say yes and give me your reply ASAP. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Sharon
