So this book dah almost 5 years old. Since most of you tak tau what's inside of the PNB 118 or Warisan Merdeka, this book shows the surface plans, layout of floors, what will be expected in the building, etc. This gonna be a book review for y'all about Warisan Merdeka. #parkdulu

Okay jom start. Sebelum tu nak minta maaf sbb buku ni bukan lima tahun, there's the other one in the box, the old planning yang lebih lima tahun (early plan) So this book actually dah around 2 to 3 years. And another disclaimer from the book itself:

I am just sharing most of the book's content. For further informations or references, I will add few suggested links/websites regarding PNB 118.

So, What is PNB 118? What it is for? Why do we need it?

Supposedly to be completed within the end of this year, 2020, the project has been delayed to completion by 2021 due to Covid19.

The idea was to connect most existing public transportation throughout Kuala Lumpur for better connections between ever-growing city of Kuala Lumpur.

PNB 118 placed between two of the stadiums in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Stadium Negara, and Stadium Merdeka - the place where we gain our national independence in 1957 for the first time.

The following that I am going to show is where PNB 118 envisioned when it's completed.

*** Please read the disclaimer above if you missed that.

These are the main entrances, the first arrival point and the envisioned work environment. The designs are mostly functional aesthetics, less hassle, and open.
