Telekom Museum

In the early 1980s, Jabatan Telekom Malaysia ( JTM ) was desperate to find a space to house the telecommunication facilities and its office in the middle of Kuala Lumpur city. Then in 1984, a beautiful colonial building was identified to be torn down to give way to a 26 storey telecommunication complex to be built. However in 1985, the plan was stalled when the Prime Minister at the time, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad was very concerned about the national heritage. He proposed that the building to be conserved as one of the country’s legacies From the Prime Minister’s aspiration, JTM decided to reconstruct the building to become Muzium Telekom.
