For the upcoming - and The Zhongshan Building has been working with a diverse bunch of artists, artisans and arts interested people to do a creative takeover of the quiet Bangunan Pak Peng set in busy Petaling Street.

In its small quiet rooms we encourage people to Rest, Play and Ponteng.

We will also be having workshops and classes on everything from fraying your old school belts into works of art to learning about the history of downtown KL (Drugs, Gambling, Entertainment) to making mixed tapes, to singing karaoke, to main wayang, to having a haircut in front of an artwork of someone getting their hair cut, to sit in a room full of chairs and look at photos of chairs, to getting your future told, to getting a tattoo, to resting, to reading aloud with strangers and in general to encourage people to sit, rest, play and take time out.

Come and hang out with us at

📍Bangunan Pak Peng.
🗓️16 & 17 May
⏰11am - 8pm

Are you in need of a sonnet? Do you fancy a limerick? Or what about a haiku? Or are you looking for something outlandish like a twin cinema? Or something straightforward like list poem? Or are you more looking to emulate a famous poet like e. e. cummings or rupi kaur? Finding the right poetic form is tricky.

And who might you be writing to? Your lover? Your partner? Your partner’s lover? Your mom or dad? Your cousins? Your crush? Someone who doesn’t exist yet? Whoever it is, it can be hard to find the right words.

Don’t suffer in silence. Outsource that suffering by coming down to Bespoke Poetry in Balai Buku Raya () at 84B, The Zhongshan Building this 1 November, where poet See Tshiung Han () will write a poem that fits your needs. Buyers pay what they want.

In conjunction with PESZTA 2025.

Designer Uzair Shoid is part of the UGHCHIVE collective, where bold and experimental fashion comes to life. If he’s not at his studio on the top floor of the building, he’s likely making waves at a fashion week nearby!
