Who Are They?

Do they look familiar to you? (Or, perhaps you may be one of the children in the picture?)

This picture was said to be taken in Kampar. In the background is Weng HengĀ Aerated Water Factory. Is the factory still there, maybe under a different name? Or, has the premises been bought over by another company?

What do you Kampar folks think? We’d like to hear from you :)

    Whilst we are in the subject of Kampar. Does anyone recollect the Fook Mun Kee restaurant? I lived in Kampar in 1971 and used to frequent this place for the best Ice Kacang ever!
    The story is, the owner started as a simple hawker peddling Ice Kacang and eventually built this multistorey building!
    Anyone out there who might be able to shed more light on this?
    Is the restaurant still there?
    Another place I recall is the 4 digit lottery outlet which belonged to Ban Seng Leong. Not that I was trying my luck but the large clock there always caught my attention. It had the the twelve digits replaced with the alphabets from Ban Seng Leong!

    Was in Kampar on 14/02/13 and located this place in Kampar. The facade reading ‘Weng Heng Aerated…’ still visible. I sent two current pictures to Ipohworld.

    Hi Lam Yuen Yi, yes thanks for the pictures that arrived safely. We shall certainly use them.

    Has anyone else got any more pictures? We need them.
