Love french fries? Then you should definitely head out to Bukit Bintang to show your love and snap some pics of McDonald’s Malaysia’s french fry crosswalk.
The new “insta-worthy” landmark aims to ignite excitement amongst Malaysians and become a must-see destination for visitors, both local and international.
Located directly in front of McDonald’s Bukit Bintang, the McDonald’s Fries Crosswalk leads visitors straight into the first McDonald’s restaurant that opened its doors in Malaysia 40 years ago, back in 1982.
The McDonald’s Fries Crosswalk was officially unveiled yesterday (15 March) by Minister of Federal Territories Datuk Seri Dr Shahidan Bin Kassim and Datuk Azmir Jaafar who is the Managing Director and Local Operating Partner of McDonald’s Malaysia.
“We hope that by transforming the Bukit Bintang crosswalk into the McDonald’s Fries Crosswalk, we can help solidify Kuala Lumpur as a must-visit tourist attraction for travelers and Malaysians alike.”
“Through this initiative, we are pleased to do our part in supporting the government’s plan to make Kuala Lumpur a prosperous city by 2030,” said Azmir Jaafar.
The McDonald’s Fries Crosswalk is also in line with the initiatives by Ministry of Federal Territories to encourage sustainable development of the city, which involves physical, social, economic, and environmental aspects, making Kuala Lumpur a more prosperous city by 2030.
“We have grown alongside Malaysians for the past 40 years, contributing to the socio- economic development of Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia at large,” added Azmir.
Meanwhile, Shahidan said, “We are grateful and proud of McDonald’s Malaysia’s initiative by coming forward and
partnering with the Ministry of Federal Territories and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), to creatively add value to the Bukit Bintang crosswalk into an iconic symbol in the city – The McDonald’s Fries Crosswalk.”
“Additionally, the Ministry and City Hall believe that it will also spur the economic development of Kuala Lumpur,” stated Shahidan.
