Market Street Bridge photographed sometime in the 1880s. I suspect it's 1884, which would mean that this is the reconstructed Market Street Bridge after KL's devastating floods in 1881.

Another lost building from KL's history - this time the Railway Clerk's Quarters in Kampong Attap. Photographed in 1908.

Kuala Lumpur's first brick buildings. Constructed by Yap Ah Loy in 1881. The exact site has been forgotten, but they were like at Medan Pasar or on Jalan Petaling.

The same site photographed in 1884 from a different angle. The padang is on the left. The row of buildings on the right is where the Sultan Abdul Samad building was constructed.

The Sultan Abdul Samad building photographed across the padang in 1906. One of my favourite shots of early KL.

The Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society still needs submissions for the next volume of its journal.

Drop me a DM if you know anybody looking to publish on the history of Malaysia, Singapore and/or Brunei.

Both Malaysian and Malayan Branch are correct depending on the date. The Society renamed in 1964.

Bonus points if you've also included The Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society.

I've always called it "corporate newspeak".

Pretty sure Chomsky talks about it in Manufacturing Consent, though Orwell first described it in Politics and the English Language.

Four hours and it's only part 1...
