Sentul, The City’s Backbone

Long before Kuala Lumpur’s skyline reached for the clouds, Sentul - a historic suburb nestled in the city’s north - was a railway town pulsing with stories. Its tracks didn’t just move goods and people, they carried generations of memory, migration, and resilience. We explore this with Choo Lub Hei, Joelynn Chin, and Fred Ooi, founding members of Sentul: Then and Now, a volunteer group that documents the neighborhood's layered past.
