A Curious Shophouse in Falim

By |2010-09-22T09:09:52+08:00September 22nd, 2010|Categories: Identify Photographs, Memories, Natural Heritage|Tags: , , , |

While in Falim some time ago, our friend Charlie stumbled upon this curious building (picture above).

Not to be confused with the ‘lions of Hugh Low Street’ – but they DO somehow look similar.

These ‘lions’ have been ‘living’ in Falim since 1906. We wonder what this building was BEFORE it became Syarikat Electrik Kong Ah. Anyone knows?

Perhaps someone out there used to live here? We await your thoughts and comments…..

The ‘Residents’ of Leech Street, Ipoh

These ‘friends’ live at Leech Street – opposite the low cost flats, next door to the old Kinta Aerated Water building.

Who owns them now, we wonder….and what’s become of them? We see the one on the extreme right has been painted pink; which now sells groceries (at wholesale price). What about the others?

Anyone with more information, do let us know.
