Dim Sum and F&N?
This was one of the pictures used in our Falim Exhibition a few years ago. Has anyone tried this – Dim Sum and F&N? I usually have my Dim Sum with hot tea….to each their own, I suppose.

Another look….
Here’s another look at the Ipoh Railway Station; this one shows part of the garden, and what seems to be the Ipoh Tree perhaps?
Celebration time!
Here’s another one from the Watson album. We were told that this was taken at the Ipoh Club.
Tee-time!
We thank Conrad Pregrave-Payne for the above picture. We believe that the gentleman in the dark suit is Sir R. G. Watson (Resident of Perak). The venue of course is the Kinta Club, which catered to both horse racing and golf.
…something NEW!
We’ve always featured old photos of this famous bridge. Here’s something new – from V Radnell. Yes, it’s non other than the Hugh Low Bridge (now known as the Sultan Iskandar Bridge). This is a recent view, probably a year or two ago.
Getting to know ‘Austin’
From the number plate, we can safely assume that this picture was taken before WW2. I’ll leave this here for all the classic car lovers….
Somewhere in Kuala Kangsar
No, this is not a creepy, haunted mansion. It was once owned by Dato Setia (from what our donor tells us). It was also once used as an Islamic School (either before or after the Japanese Occupation in Malaya). We thank Eugene Lee for this gem.
Express Mail
Not too long ago (in the 1990s), the Perak Postal Services Department started a special express letter service between Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur. There were two dispatches daily except on Sundays and public holidays and letters would reach the same day. The letters will be given special treatment and sent by the first available means. […]
A Nice Sunny Day
We thank Eugene Lee for this picture. Can you guess which street this is (maybe also the year)? 🙂
Silver Jubilee Medal
On this day in 1935, Towkay Leong Sin Nam was forwarded a medal – in commemoration of the Silver Jubilee of Their Majesties the late King George V and Queen Mary. We thank Dr Leong Oon Keong (the grandson of Leong Sin Nam) for sharing these pictures with us.
One for the Album
How’s this for a lovely family photograph? We’re guessing this was taken during Hari Raya. In the picture are Jaafar and whom we believe to be his grandchildren. Don’t they look great in their baju Raya?
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
