No prizes for guessing where this was taken. However, we do thank our donor – who prefers to be called “Canning Garden” – for sharing this picture with us.

Chingay Procession

The activity appears to be centred around the England Dobi Shop where the procession may well have stopped to give a demonstration, and there are large numbers of spectators in attendance. Numerous vehicles in the street are probably being delayed by the festivities and have formed a traffic jam.

I wonder which part of town this was….

Coffee Shop Licence, from 1963

By felicia|2023-05-24T16:06:23+08:00May 24th, 2023|Categories: food, Identify Photographs, tourism|

This is a licence from the Municipality of Ipoh to Hung Chin Ling, i.c. PK.028579 of K-2, Kepayang, Fair Park, Ipoh who has a coffee shop. The license, of course, was issued in accordance to the Sales of Food and Drugs Ordinance 1952. There were also the following conditions, which had to be adhered to:

This bill should be presented intact for payment to the Municipal Cashier at the Municipal Office between the hours of 8.30a.m and 3p.m on any working day except Saturday when the hours are from 8.30a.m to 11.30a.m
Cheques are to be crossed and made payable to the Municipality of Ipoh
All queries should be addressed to the Municipal Treasurer, Municipality of Ipoh,
P. O. Box 1009, Ipoh
No pin tables are allowed on the licensed premises and failure to observe this condition may entail cancellation of licence by the Council.

I wonder if Hung’s coffee shop is still in business…

Yes, this is a sample of a 1 cent note. Some of you might remember this.

Another unique road sign

We thank Chee Ong Ngai for this one.

Pardon me if I’m wrong…but are those Japanese characters, written above the English words? If so, this picture could have been taken during the Second World War (or a little after).
