One thing I must say on this building that the architect responsible on renovation needs some brain bleaching. This building's facade is rubbish and eye-straining. I prefer old smoke-glazed and white panel marble cladding than this potentially hazardous plastic cladding and blue glass.

 

Saya harus bilang, soal gedung ini, arsitek yang mengerjakan proyek renovasi gedung ini harus dicek kewarasannya. Gedung ini sampah dan merusak mata. Fasad gedung lama lebih enak dipandang dan ada rasa elegannya ketimbang yang sekarang, yang norak dan berbahaya (karena bisa saja material cladding nya mudah terbakar).
