Socony Petrol Pump?
Does the name ring a bell? I’ve never heard of Socony…perhaps some of you out there may know this brand. On the back of this photo are the words “RP Co Ltd, Ipoh”. Any idea where (in Ipoh) such a petrol pump may have been?

No. This is actually a single bullock power wooden bullock cart. When was the last time you saw something like this?
Here’s a nice one from Charlie Choong. Beautiful car, isn’t it? Did YOU ever try to get a nice car/motorcycle to impress your date? Don’t be shy…I’m sure you may have a story or two to share with us 🙂
I remember when I took driving lessons, I practiced on a small Kancil ( with no power-steering….oh how my arms ached :O ). This picture here shows a Morris Minor with an “L” sign. How many of you out there learnt driving on such a classic car? 🙂
No, we’re not talking about the movie. Rather we’re talking about this once common mode of transport (see picture below). From what we found out, this was probably the last rickshaw made in Ipoh for service in the streets :O

It is said that while passing through Slim River (before heading towards Kampar), there is a branch road at Teluk Anson (not Teluk Intan). About 3 km upon taking this branch […]
Here is Percival Moss, with his ‘faithful ride’. Moss was a tailor who sewed uniforms for the Malay States Guides and other military organisations, back in the early 1900s. We thank his grandson Bernard for sharing this photograph (along with many others of the Moss family, who once lived in Taiping). Any guesses as to […]
