KUALA LUMPUR - The scouts are going to build a hotel. Scout's honour. It will be a three-star hotel at the site where the headquarters of The Scouts Association of Malaysia (Pengakap) is now based. The 29-storey hotel in in Jalan Hang Jebat here is expected to be built in the middle of this year and would house the association's headquarters as well as a museum on the history and background of the scout movement in the country, said National Chief Scout Shafie Mohd Salleh today. The move is aimed at strengthening the financial resources of Pengakap. "We will build the hotel on our own to generate the association's economy and make the scout movement more relevant," Shafie told reporters after presenting scout honours here. Also present were National Scout Chief Commissioner Kaharudin Mo'min and National Girl Guides Chief Commissioner Zalillah Mohd Taib. source: http://www.malaysianmirror.com/nationaldetail/6-national/26569

I honestly never thought this would gain this much steam but here we are and it makes me think maybe people actually do care about the history of this place after all. My coffee is cold because I have been refreshing the feed for hours just reading about why everyone loves this building so much.

This is our history. Why kill a heritage building just for another hotel? We have enough hotels in KL already.
Kuala Lumpur is losing its soul. Everyone just cares about profit over culture.
The BP house has so much meaning to us. Do not demolish it!!!!
Too much development erasing the past. Stop this.
Ridiculous. Find another plot of land. Don't destroy our heritage for money.

There are plenty of empty spaces in the city. Leave the scout headquarters alone.
