I love how BSC has evolved along with the population of Bangsar. It’s like a microcosm of life in the Bangsar community: contemporary and discerning, yet warm and welcoming.

Back in 1990, when I was still with Guardian Pharmacy, we had an idea that was considered fairly novel at that time: marrying a pharmacy with a beauty store and a bookshop. We thought it was something that a newly affluent community like Bangsar would appreciate. We were a little apprehensive about broaching the idea to BRDB but they were unbelievably supportive. 24 years later, Guardian Pharmacy is still thriving in BSC.

I’m no longer with Guardian Pharmacy so my work visits to Bangsar have now taken on a social and leisure flavour. I shop at Jason’s and catch up with friends and family at one of the many cafes and restaurants... any excuse, really.
