Kuala Lumpur roadside junction boxes And other art work.

Wandering around the city of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia one of the more unusual things I have noticed is the way that they paint the junction boxes for traffic lights and telecoms.

From my hotel up to the KLCC park they are all of a similar style.

A sort of stylised urban cityscape mostly in blue and white.

But not all of them are painted which is a bit confusing.

And I think this one died.

Near to the Petronas Towers there is some building work going on and the boarding around it has also been painted but this was a sponsored job.

But it is quite extensive so it must have used a lot of paint.

I did like this pair though.

I was beginning to think they were all the same but on my walk down to Petaling Street there are a few different styles.

If your into birds you might like these.

Finally arriving at Petaling Street they give a clue to tell you that you’ve arrived.

Being in the heart of China Town I guess you can expect dragons.

One thing I did notice is that you don’t see a lot of normal graffiti and it’s usually very minimal when you do and they don’t seem to graffiti the painted junction boxes so there is a bit of respect there.

One of the few occasions I saw rubbish in the street too its very clean for a city.

The street art doesn’t stop at the junction boxes I also saw these metal sculptures.

And this one looks like it was made from recycled metal car parts.

Even the food stalls get a flashy paint job which is much nicer than bare concrete.

Finally Hivers to end here is the wall of a shop that has been treated to an amusing paint job. They might not find it so funny in down town LA though.
