Kuala Lumpur - Tanah Rata (Cameron Highlands) One day in the far away kingdom of Malaysia, on the highest floor of Kuala Lumpur Tower, the Big Kuala of Kuala Lumpur city was discussing with his fellow Lumpur’s what to do with a plot of land and 500 mannequins that had been left abandoned when Topshop moved to its new store in the Petronas Towers. “Well”, said the Big Kuala, “we’ve alr...
