Eid Mubarak

Do we need additional clock towers?

Last week,I came to notice this clock tower,sitting on the road median of Jalan Tun Razak,KL,near Tabung Haji Building.It has been there for years but I never take notice of it.However last week,as I walked along the road I saw it and and snapped this photo.In the last century,we built clock tower so that people can read the time and also as an icon with aesthetics values.What came to my mind about this clock tower is of its purpose?IMHO,I prefer the city planners and architects to lay more pedestrian/cycling tracks with plant more trees and flowers in our city.

On second thought,we need to know the temperature,air quality index,weather forecast,traffic conditions etc..
