The toys department was located on the top floor.

An alleged young shoplifter was caught by the security guard. While waiting for the police the young boy was rumored to be beaten by the security guard which result in death. The victim had a brother who was a soldier. The brother and his soldier friends circled the Angel building with 3 army trucks as a sign of protest. Ipoh people started to boycott Angel and with diminishing customers Angel began its downward spiral ...Kumpul Muzikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749179777049965909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124431264037070097.post-14432329898015556702018-11-19T09:47:00.860+08:002018-11-19T09:47:00.860+08:00The first counter you could see after the main ent...The first counter you could see after the main entrance was selling fishing rods.

I believe it mainly due to the population moving outwards the city center. Currently people come to downtown & concentrated at some entertainment centers or shopping malls, unlike previously people were living at every corner & activities just carried out almost at every street.Chun Keehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293554488727821113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124431264037070097.post-47384824170526634772011-01-20T08:19:08.645+08:002011-01-20T08:19:08.645+08:00Yeah Ipohgal, everyone was excited about Angel at ...Yeah Ipohgal, everyone was excited about Angel at that time.

My grand uncle, an old man in his late 70s, was lost in this supermarket on his first visit. He went there on his own and could not find the way out! In the end, a salesgirl lead him out and he laughed at himself for being such a country bumpkin. He was from Tanjung Tualang where you could not find any supermarket.Ipohgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334848611018738412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124431264037070097.post-67982327689131691502011-01-18T08:26:50.750+08:002011-01-18T08:26:50.750+08:00Chris, it sounds u lived somewhere in between Ange...Chris, it sounds u lived somewhere in between Angel & Super Kinta.

The arcade was my favorite and I almost went there daily for a game of space invaders. It's behind from where I stayed and I can see the words 'angel' lighted up and down at night.ChrisAuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077277168519458783noreply@blogger.com
