mildly interesting but there's apparently a second komtar in johor baru. it was already hard enough finding historic imagery of the penang komtar and that is the one everyone talks about. this one seems to have basically fallen off the collective conciousness radar. the building still exists but the podium mall was completely rebuilt around 2010. for all i know this building was modelled after the penang one, there's even a resemblance if one squints.
