But can you name them all please?

But when was it and what were they celebrating?

But can anyone name them for us please?

Definitely Ipoh, but who are they? We would dearly love to know.

This interesting looking group posing for their photograph on and around bags marked Toong Hing (at least I think that is what they say) are completely unknown to us. The photo came from Ipoh, but it could have been taken anywhere. On the back it simply says 1970. Has anyone got any guesses as to […]

Again found in a heap of photos in Ipoh, could this be a very early Police pilot taking off from Ipoh? We would love to know more if anyone out there knows. Of course he may not be a policeman. Incidentally when did the Police start flying patrols or their air wing? Not as […]

I have studied the dictionary but cannot make any sense of the office function. What did they do? The nearest I can get to is that they were inspectors or overseers of mineral diggings which probably means mining. Were they government staff or commercial? Please help with some answers and if possible some names. We […]

Picked up among a pile of Ipoh Photos this is clearly labelled on the back as above. If you know anyone from that era and school please tell them about this or tell us so that we may find out more. Thanks.

This is a photograph taken at Ipoh Airport. It is a large group and in the centre the two men dressed in suits are presumably important enough to draw the significant number of people to attend their arrival or most probably, departure. Of course with the demise of our airport photographs like this will be a […]

This is a rare photograph of a Kopitiam hawker cutting roast pork from a joint hanging above his chopping board, on which there is already a hearty portion of cut meat. Note the thickness of the board and how it is worn away on the side nearest to him. No doubt there is a customer anxiously […]

This came with a batch of SMI photos. but without any information. Where is the pool? Who are the boys and who is the European lady with their trainer? Can you help please?

Proud parents and grandparents maybe, pose for the graduation photo. Can anyone tell us who they are please?

Taken in Ipoh this is believed to be a birthday party, but does anyone recognise the group? There are several generations there. Please click on photo to enlarge.

This young man looks like the lone swimmer and scout pictured in December that it is suggested could be Dr. Lim Cho Luan. Does anyone have a contact for him or his brother please?

Surely there must be someone out there who knows about the old SMI scouts! Please help if you can.

This came in the same batch of pics as a lot of SMI. Where did they go camping and who can you recognise please?

Another SMI group, but I don’t think we have seen this Brother in earlier photos, or have we? Again there are some Scouts here, but so far we have not managed to get information about any of the Scout pictures. Any old Scouts out there please?

This photo has suffered badly from mishandling, probably by a young child as it has crayon scribbles all over the reverse. Nonetheless it is still clear enough for someone out there to identify who, where and when. We look forward to your posts.

This little photo is originally just 2 inches square. The girls costumes (or were they called ‘bathing suits’ in those days) are very interesting. Would today’s young ladies like the fashion? We are guessing the boys are from SMI. Who are they we wonder and when and where was the picture taken?

Written on the back of this is “That’s my guitar, Victor”. Who are they and Victor who?

We believe that Sheares Hall, Dunearn Road Hostel was used by University of Malaya. Is this correct and can anyone recognise some of the party people here please?

On the reverse of this photo taken by Tahlu Studio Ipoh is written 3-11-’57. But who is she? Her name and any other information would be great!

Could someone please confirm the location of this pool and if possible when the photo was taken and who is in the picture?

Now we are back in trouble with only the trees as background and no date, group title or names. I know someone out there can help. Please do.

Again not too much of a test as all we need is the names!

This is an easy one as we know where and when, but how about the names? Brothers, Masters or students would all be welcome.

I think we are now quite clear that this is at Tanjung Rambutan, but when was it and who are they? Could they be Scouts from SMI? Please try and recognise someone. For the first time viewer there are more river and scouts pictures below. Just click on the tags to find them.

I have just noticed that pencilled lightly on the back of this one is July 1963. Sitting to the left of the brother (as we look at it) with glasses is what I believe to be the same person as featured below under A Champion Swimmer and his Trophys and who we think may be Dr Lim.

Again we would love to know when this photo was taken, the class or group and the names of the brother, the teachers and any of the students please.

Written in pencil on the reverse is ‘Debating Society 1956’. Is this the Main Convent? Can any of the girls be recognised and named please?

Marked on the reverse of the photograph as in the title, this is a good start, but who are they and where? Does anyone recognise the initials MJC? Please help if you can.

Does anyone recognise these buildings. We are sure they are Ipoh and very early. If you can help, please do by commenting below.

We have no information about this shop other than we are assured it was in Ipoh. If anyone can identify the type of business, the location or the people in the shop we shall be delighted to hear from them.

The girls are out for a walk but where, when and who? Please let us have any help you can. Thanks.

At least we know which school and when, but can anyone identify the teacher or any of the students please?

Does anyone know where and when this was taken and who is in the picture? Maybe the building behind or the shape of the school badge might help. Please leave a comment if you have any information at all about the photo.

Originally known as the Convent of the the Holy Infant Jesus, the school was founded by Mother St. Victoire, supported by Mother St. Anatoli, Assistant General to the Priests’ Assembly in Paris. It opened on 7th January 1907, at a small house in the compound of the St. Michael’s Church (Ipoh), with only eight students. Initially, […]

Nothing is known about this picture of the Colonial Dispensary, although we are assured it is from Ipoh. There is the tail end of a car to the left of the picture with what looks like the Perak Registration A 707. The shopkeeper is holding a baby above the counter and there are half a […]

Another SMI Group, but when, what and who? Please help by letting us know about any details you may have about this picture.

Here we have girls and boys at the river, but which river, when was it and who are they? If you know anything about this picture please let us know.

Gathered around the table they are, but who are they and when and where was the photo taken? It looks like a school canteen, but which school? Please let us know if you can shed any light on this picture.

Probably from SMI, like the others below, this young man poses for his photograph. But who is he and when was the picture taken? If you know the answer, please let us know.

This is an interesting line-up. Does anyone know who they are or the story of the hats please? Can anyone tell us the date the photo was taken?

Does anyone recognise this car or the young man in the photograph please. We really would like to know where and when the photo was taken and who he is.

Again we have an unknown photograph, this time of a mixed group enjoying the cool of the river. Does anyone know who they are, which river are they in and what date was the picture taken please?

If we guess correctly this is a student from SMI swimming team and a very successful one too! But who is he and when was this taken. Someone out there must know him and we would ask you to share his details with us please. There is now what appears to be a team or […]

But who are they and when was the photo taken? Can anyone help us fill in these details please?

Another SMI photo we need help with. Can you tell us when this was and who is in the picture please?

Here is a group photo from St Michael’s Institution. Does any one recognise the people and can you date it for us please?

This photo is one of a large number donated to us recently. Unfortunately no information came with them. This is going to be very difficult, but it is only a test of uploading photos. Nonetheless, can anyone give us any idea of where and when it is please? It is said to be Perak.
