The Lee Rubber Building on the corner of Jalan Hang Lekir and Jalan Tun H.S. Lee in Kuala Lumpur is a fine example of Art Deco srchitecture.

Reputed to have been the headquarters of the Japanese secret police during the war, the building has also served as a bank but is now home to the "Popular" bookstore.
