Demolition works on a historic building from the 60s and 70s in the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan is almost complete, with the building partially left on the grounds.
In a photo taken yesterday, only a part of the William Jack building on Jalan Pemancha (formerly known as Jalan Chevalier) is left to be demolished.
“It is sad to see but it is also good to see progress, finally. I hope they’ll build a new landmark in the capital – a commercial hub with event spaces, multi-storey car parks and an international hotel chain,” said Marul (pic left), who took the photos on his way to work. One of the many who have fond memories of the building, he remembers shops like Jetsin and Ayamku when he was working in the capital in 2010. He used to walk past the building from the car park to his workplace five days a week.
