Nasim Sdn Bhd, the official distributor of Peugeot cars in Malaysia, launched the all-new 207 yesterday. Being the first Peugeot to be produced in Malaysia, the Peugeot 207 will be exported to other right-hand drive markets in ASEAN, and Sri Lanka.

The 207 is generously equipped and well spec’d for an attractive OTR price of RM 72,888 (with 3-year warranty). Here’s a quick look at the new model and accompanying models…

Big Bazaar In Little India

For years, we been told that Leboh Ampang or the Masjid India area is the Little India of Kuala Lumpur. They were dethroned by Brickfields recently. Ironically after its ascension, the annual Deepavali bazaar at Brickfields seemed less frantic than previous years. Maybe the roads are now one-way and less congested. All the more, it is worth a last-minute visit to take in the sights and sounds of our brand new Little India…

Flying High, Soon

Flying High, Soon?

It is three days to Deepavali and things have not really picked up. Maybe last-minute shopping is a Malaysian thing.

Flowers For Singh

Flowers For Singh

To impress Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India, many things were put in place for his visit last week. We now have red-bricked roads with beautiful flower motifs.

One of the new attractions is this fountain at the mini roundabout. Fortunately, many of the old trees were spared execution. ‘The Pines’ nearby was not so lucky.

1Muruku

For me, one of the more fascinating new additions are the street lamps with intricate muruku spirals. Here, 1 muruku is seen against the backdrop of the 1 Sentral building.

Dirty But Gracious Girl

Dirty But Gracious Girl

I asked this local resident if she can model next to the arches for me. She so graciously obliged. Please excuse the little soot on her chin and arm. That’s because of hanging by the roadside too much, I think 🙂

Happy Diwali !
