Bukit Besi Chimneys
wow, finally i can see these houses again, i live there a few months when i was baby, after i stay with my grandmom, also in Malim Nawar...my dad was worked in Perak Hydro based in Malim Nawar, those quarters are for the Managers, Asst.Managers and Engineers. I think in Tiger Lane also have some old housing from Perak Hydro.
ReplyDeleteHi, My name is Rod Sawyer. My father went to Malim Nawar in 1948 working for the Perak River Hydro Company. He retired in 1968. I have very fond memories of my childhood there. Not sure what staff quarters you talk about as all the bungalows were built well before the second world war. One of the bungalows we lived in, known as Number One was actually used by the Japanese as a headquarters. The last house we lived in before being transferred to Ipoh HO was a new one next to the padang. I still have the drawn plans for it.
DeleteRod S,That's nostalgic to have stayed there for almost 20 years!The place is now mostly use as a training center for TNB(the present power utility which took over Perak River Hydro) staffs.It will be nice if i can see the plan,you can e-mail it to thomasllp62@gmail.com

DeleteCelestina,
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have someone who have stayed there before visiting.
Hi, my name is Maztura. I came across this blog of yours when I was searching for Malim Nawar Power Station. I accompanied my husband yesterday, because he had a job there. We were attracted to the old staff quarters there because of the uniqueness in their designs.It seems to be the Rumah Melayu Lama design, but build with bricks, concrete & woods. We took some photographs too yesterday.
ReplyDeleteMaz,It good to cherish its uniqueness as it might not be around for long.
DeleteGood camera skills. I am an avid fan of your travels. Can you use drone views ?
