Flats Columbia in AU2 Taman Keramat lies in the heart of Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, alongside glitzy skyscrapers. <br /> <br />It is just 2km away from the religious school in Kampung Datuk Keramat where a fire claimed the lives of 21 pupils and two teachers recently. Seven youths under investigation for their involvement are facing possible charges of arson and murder. <br /> <br />It is home to pensioners, the jobless, oddjob workers, and salespersons. <br /> <br />It was also known far and wide for the availability of drugs, at first heroin, then crystal methamphetamine, or syabu. <br /> <br />On the banks of the Klang river spawned a settlement of Indonesian illegals, dangdut joints, gambling and prostitution dens. Then the authorities swept them away and the place became overgrown with weeds. <br /> <br />Now, a thriving community garden has grown in its place. Occupying three quarters of an acre, it was started in 2015, on land belonging to JPS. <br /> <br />With help from Maybank and the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ), the garden has flourished. <br /> <br />More info at http://bit.ly/2k3lGyC. <br /> <br />Website: https://www.themalaysianinsight.com <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themalaysianinsight <br />Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/msianinsight/ <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msianinsight/
