The YMCI hosted a fellowship dinner for all its members at Eastern Hotel, Brewster Road, Ipoh
ont he 26th December, 2010, at 7.00p.m. Before the dinner, I was inducted in the presence of members and guest as a member of YMCI. I felt rather honoured and was grateful for the organization to accept me as a member. Its a service duty club, just to help others. That's divine!
Another chapter in life, in Ipoh.

Anglo Chinese School - 1895.
Anglo Chinese School was the first English-Medium school in Kinta. Founded by
missionary Reverend W.E.Horley in 1895. The original building was constructed of
timber and had two storeys and a turret at the centre of the roof ridge. The
Edwardian-style building currently was erected between 1912 and 1914 along
Lahat Road and was designed by architect C.H.Labrooy.

Perak Heritage Society.
The Perak Heritage Society's members must work hard to ensure that our heritage does NOT disappear so that our grandchildren can learn from and appreciate the leaps and bounds that human civilization have made it. In Ipoh I site two main threats to heritage preservation - i). extreme greed ii). rapid economic growth.
Historical Past.
Heritage matters are always my lip words. What saddens me now is, even the authority has ignored or rather sidelined heritage issues. I feel that the importance as part of our heritage is nevertheless immeasurable, and their urgent needs must NOT be ignored. Therefore, the streets and buildings of IPOH are part of the historic character of IPOH. It's a way to relate Ipoh's past lives, they stand as physical evidence of the diverse people who have taken part in the city's growth.
