Occupant Keep Changing

This 4-storey building is located at the junction between Pasir Puteh Road & Leong Boon Swee Road, which is right beside the traffic light. This is the the closest portion of Pasir Puteh to city center & it suppose a strategic commercial location. However, the occupants of this building had been changing several times. It was even once won the Ipoh City Council's award of building decoration several years ago. I am thinking it could be the heavy traffic that leads to no parking lot around this building that cause the difficulty in attracting customer.

I heard this building is haunted. There was rumour that a pregnant lady got killed in an accident at the traffic light.

A bus crashed into the shop killing a pregnant lady. Since then it has been rumoured to be haunted. The incident happened in the late 70's.

Apparently once when it was a clothing store. Someone was trying on clothes in the fitting room and saw something in the reflection.
