Info / Insights: Serene and beautiful Titiwangsa Lake was once a giant tin-mining pit. Years after its abandonment, the area was transformed into a recreational park during the mid-70s. That was before it became fashionable to convert disused mining ponds into water theme parks. The area continued to be a cozy residential enclave, even after its renaming to Taman Tasik Titiwangsa.
Seavoy Road, as it was known then, was the major road leading to the excavated lake. Many of the roads in the area are (were) named after towns in Pahang. This is no co-incidence, as Jalan Pahang was the only practical route from KL to Pahang, once-upon-a-time.
Titiwangsa became an unwitting participant in a grand comedy show, some three years ago. During the launch of Visit Malaysia Year 2007, a giant wheel was erected on its grounds, almost overnight. Around it, a month-long fireworks orgy was planned. It soon became evident that burning over RM 100,000 worth of explosives every night for a handful of local spectators was not very logical nor healthy. The thunderous explosions nearly obliterated all the good work of heart surgeons from the many nearby hospitals. Nevertheless, the show went on despite protests from deafened residents and surviving cardiac patients. All the colorful birds that added to the attraction of the park flew off for good, too.
Yeah! Welcome to Malaysia; medical tourism, Eco-tourism and such... :-)
