There many are that has been develop especially infrawork around this area except fot road leading to Seberang Perak, recently there were upgrading work for the drain along Jalan Pegawai
Shops along Jalan Pegawai, there were government quarters along this road before it was developed into commercial area, the quarters were all made of timber and built higher from the ground at almost 1 meter high with concrete column.
This is at the corner of the road from Jalan Seberang Perak
Row of shop houses that has been there since I was born, the one with Saga park infront used to be Kedai Musa, mamak from India where we used to frequent his shop to collect Indian stamps..on the right of kedai Musa used to be my tuition centre at the top floor and a small coffee shop at ground level where one Malay man sell roti canai
This is at the junction leading to tanah perkuburan which is on the right..
I don't even know whose house is this, but I remember that their fencing wall was high with broken glasses on top for maximum security..no cctv at that time
This is Sekolah Rendah (L) Sbrg Perak..its a pity sight, it has been abandoned for many years, and the school and quarters has been left just like that....
And..wow a new building ..4 storey at the junction of Lorong Nipah, no signboard at all, I wonder whether they have building plan approval or not, but according to one resource, few officials from MBAS has came here...but what happen after that no one knows....I don't know how can they simply built it here.
It used to be a double storey shophouses, aboyt three units facing the road and I believed they were Chinese Shophouses influence and made of brick
Lorong Nipah..a small road leading to few houses where Pak Leh, Mami and Kak Seri, Haji Yusof and Nyonya Eng lives..
I remember seeing one of my Pak Teh and Pak Chak's photo of this place back in the 80's..
This is a house that could accommodate few families, there was a small verandah infront of this house where we kids used to lepak en route to kedai Brahim. One of the owner's daughter married a guy who I thought a member of Al-Ar*&^ or something coz she used to wear purdah all the time (I was a kid then)It used to be a big compound where this stalls and mess are, it was like a grand entrance to few houses here and a road leading to my grandma's house. There was a big pokok sukun on the right with fruits that could be supplied to too many houses
On the left is JKR Quarters, single storey bungalow, it used to be fenced with bounganvillas and pokok teh by previous Chinese tenant back in the 80's. There are many edible plants around the house compound but the wife was so kiasu and that made all kids including Pak Hitam will tresspassed this property..Few officer ..in and out and the previous was Pakcik Zain who now lives just next door , he built a house on TOL..
This is Pak Cik Zain's house..a cheery tree is a must..it used to be a road connecting two government quarters which was built in July 1927. Those two houses were so special to me..will blog about it later...
