This photo was provided by the Cheong family for use in “Ipoh, My Home Town” but it was not used as there were much more appropriate images to use for their story.
The banner reads something like “Professor Shu Tong Zen, Exhibition of his Chinese Paintings including an exhibition of his Malaysian Students’ Work”.
Now the questions are: where was this Guild, when was the photograph taken, who are the people and where does the Guild have its premises today?
No prizes, just the glory of being able to show that you know the Ipoh of days gone by.
