Grotesque statues of (Thai hermits) have become deities for gamblers praying for lucky lottery numbers, the graves of the outcast Ahmadiyya followers are far from the mainstream Muslim cemetery, a Russian Orthodox Church with Malaysian converts, the graves of a married couple of Muslim missionaries from Baghdad have become a shrine, the little-known colonial crest of Kuala Lumpur found on the portico of an old building, a priceless and secret relic from the German bombing of London...these are things unknown to most residents of the city.
Away from the towering skyscrapers, modern shopping malls filled with designer brands, and the usual touristy sites with stalls selling kitschy souvenirs, there are still some interesting secrets to be discovered in Kuala Lumpur, hidden in the back lanes and byways of the concrete jungle.
