Well, it’s the same thing I snap, just because I did not go many places today. As usual, on my way home along Kuala Kangsar Road, I got a closer look on the letter blocks. I am wondering will there be a similar one built at the southern gateway to Ipoh. Probably at Gopeng Road, the hilltop that previously stood the mighty Mercedes Benz logo is a good location. With only four roman characters, I think Ipoh is the least costly city to have one more…haha
when i drove along highway inbetween jelapang and ipoh utara, i just wonder when and how this letter block stood up far high on the lime stone hills. so u're just the lucky one to saw such "historic" moment. the first time i came to ipoh 13 years ago, the mercedez logo stood up mighty on the sam poh tong lime stone hill side. And it is no more now over there. But the good thing is now i just live near here at taman taufik to see every moment of Ipoh town development. I love this town very much.
Yup, I was quite lucky that the installation work was carried out when I was driving home in the afternoon. In fact some ground work had been started few days before and it had caught my attention wondering what would be done on the hilltop.
Ipoh, the capital city of Perak State, Malaysia, is the city that tin built. Located at the famous tin mining area, Kinta Valley, it used to be the world's largest tin mine since 19th century. Not only of its tin mine, but Ipoh also famous of its delicious food, beautiful mountain ranges, mysterious lime stone caves, attractive history & friendly citizen. Being the second in Malaysia that gain the status of city in year 1988 after Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh is one of the major cities in Malaysia with the population around 700,000. Began as a small village in 1870's, tin mine industry had brought in Chinese and Indian that boosted the town development since 1890's. The rapid growing town later upgraded to be the capital of Perak during the Japanese occupation at World War II. The rich tin resource had brought prosperity to many Ipoh miners that even make it once known as the City of Millionaires. Today, Ipoh has grown to cover a large area including the neighboring township such as Bercham, Tasek, Jelapang, Menglembu, Pengkalan, Simpang Pulai & Chemor. The city is still developing continuously while maintains its beauty of nature and harmony.
We are living in a busy world. We often have no time to appreciate the moments in our daily life. Take a break, stop & look around. There are many beautiful things, although it is simple & humble. I learn to gain a better life by appreciation & would like to share the images in my world.
