She said the walk across the Saloma Link brought back memories of a time when Kuala Lumpur was easier to get around. “In time, I feel this bridge will benefit the people of Kampung Baru tremendously as more and more people will start using the Kampung Baru LRT to walk across to the city. It's just a short walk compared to driving.

“I'd say from that 3,000 on the first day to around 10,000 now. The public love the colour display at night which is themed. For Deepavali, Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and even Ponggal, they had corresponding colours to mark those occasions.” “We saw the posts on Instagram and Twitter and we said, ‘Let's see the place!’ I have to say this must be great for the Kampung Baru people. It's very convenient.

Zarahyah added that more and more of her colleagues are getting to know about the bridge and eventually more of them may take the walk to Kampung Baru for food as there are more choices available.
