Somewhere in Temoh
If you’ve been to Temoh, you may have seen this building. No, it’s not an empty and abandoned house. It’s actually a post office.
We thank Rahman Majid Khan for these interesting photos.

Guess Who?
Does he look familiar? No? What if I told you there’s a building named after him, along Dairy Road (now known as Jalan Raja Musa Mahadi)?
In case you’re still puzzled, this gentleman is none other than Prof Dato’ (Dr) Ungku Omar bin Ahmad. We don’t know much about his personal life. However, thanks to Prof Dr Zainur Rashid Zainuddin, we do have a short summary of his contribution towards the local medical field.
Restored!
This house (in Pasir Salak, Perak) was said to be built in the 1980s, to resemble the house of the late Dato Maharajalela. It later fell into a sorry state (as seen above).
But, the good news is……it was later restored!
If anyone could shed more light on this restoration project, we’d love to hear from you.

Charity Show
Back in 1954, there was a charity show at the Anglo-Chinese Girls’ School. It was for a good cause – to aid the educational work among the Dayaks in Borneo.
Did you catch the recital and one-act play?
Remember Yardley?
When was the last time you saw this brand?
Oath of Secrecy
With the Malaysian General Elections just around the corner, here’s another interesting find (from the family of the late Ali Pitchay): an Oath of Secrecy, taken by election candidates!
Keeping the streets clean
What’s this funny looking contraption, you ask? Why, it’s a one-man battery-operated street cleansing vehicle!
Back in the 1960’s Ipoh had a well deserved reputation of being the cleanest town in the Federation of Malaya….
Making Plans…
No, I’ve not taken up architecture š
This is in fact a drawing of the proposed multi-storey car park, at Station Road.
Wedding Memories
Do you recognise the background? If you do, you would know WHERE this wedding reception took place š
