Renowned architect Datuk Ar Hajeedar Abdul Majid had planned to pen his autobiography when he turned 60, but a busy architectural practice kept him from it until he reached 75 in 2020.
Like a blessing in disguise, the Covid-19 lockdown provided him with the opportunity to complete the book.
A statement issued by Sona Communications on behalf of Hajeedar stated that the voluminous 687-page book, titled
Hajeedar Journey In Architecture, is structured in three parts highlighting a chronology of his experiences in becoming an architect.
Hajeedar, an illustrious name in the local and international architecture scene, is among others the architect of the twin towers of Bank Pembangunan and MNI, both already majestically in place just within a kilometre before even the iconic Petronas Twin Towers were completed. He also saw the birth of a triplet in the three towers at Dataran Maybank in Bangsar.
