My ride from KL to Tanjung Pagar Railway Station
will be my first and last one, just to pay tribute
to this majestic and beautiful station before it closes down,
anyway i'm very happy to hear that it will be preserved
together with the older Bukit Timah Station.

FMSR,Federated Malay States Railways was the name of the railway company
