The demolition is off. The original A&W building stays right where it is. Thank you for protecting this local landmark.

The land value of the restaurant's site has appreciated so much so that the current owners now want to demolish the historical building, build a large commercial complex and retrofit a drive-in A&W into the new building. But it will not be the same for tens of thousands (perhaps millions) of people who have fond memories and life's milestones with the A&W "tent". This petition calls for the prevention of the demolition of the original building, even if other development by its owners can take place around it.

I love the chicken & rootbeer float! if i told my friend meet up at A&W nobody will ask, "where is it" because everybody knows it.. it was there since 1965, please leave it there..
This is an iconic place! Pls refurbish the A&W for the current & future gens. I see many students from neighboring schools grab some food after school before taking the LRT. Its one of a kind with Taman Jaya Park across the road, Amcorp Mall & LRT nearby. The swimming pool is 200m away at PJ Palms Sport. I can't recall another place with a reasonably sized drive-in dining like in the 50s-60s American style. Truly retro! A modern day Jukebox with 70s-80s songs will be awesome at this place for diners.
Leave the place be. There are plenty more land elsewhere to build, do whatever! It's a modern historical landmark where a lot of happy marriages and relationships started.
Our heritage landmarks are dissappearing one by one.I grew up with the A&W restaurant and spent a lot of my teen years in the entertainment centre upstairs.I would want it to remain.
I grew up here enjoying the simple pleasures of life .A&W was one of them . It reminds me of the days my parents used to bring us here for a float and hot dogs . My parents are no longer around but i hope i can see A&W here till the very end !
Please leave the a&w, do not disturb

It's the oldest and first of it's kind in Malaysia (though the first A&W is gone), it's something all Malaysians hold dear. Preserve this and bring back the golden days of drive thru and it shall thrive!
