Ipoh’s old glorious colonial presence is undeniable but many say it’s past its time and turning into a retirement town. My auntie’s conversations seem to always describe shops closing down or moving away. Rather disconcerting.
This former tin-mining town is also commonly associated with beautiful girls with emphasis on their smooth and fair skin. The drinking water is cited as the reason, having filtered through the underground limestone strata. Ponder that next time you see Michelle Yeoh on the big screen.
As for the beautiful chickens?
Wait for the next post.
