Recently I took my family for a day trip to Klias wetland for a FAM trip on a trawler converted river cruise boat. On the way we stopped at Membakut old town. Two old town shop buildings still stands amidst growing modern shops. It must have been grand during its hey bygone days, going through the old wooden shops, kopi tiams and bicycle shops. Can you imagine of what it was like then? It reminds me of what 20 cents can buy you that time. Going to school with 20 cents was something I look forward to, it can buy me a packet of " Nasi Kuning" and a syrup drink. Yes those were the days. I took some photos of these old buildings and was thinking, what do you do with these buildings? restore or destroy it? Close to these two old block stands another old wooden shop houses beside it a recent burnt down block. Soon these old wooden buildings will be replace and what we have is just memories of it. So before it long gone, here are some photos of these Vintage Architecture.
