Found this photo which indicates that it was shot in front of Kuala Lipis rest house in the 60's. The building is now occupied as Pahang Club House. The present rest house located at Bukit Resident and Tg Lipis, both on the peak of two hills overlooking the town and surrounding areas.
In time before me, the town was used by British Colonial to administer the state because of of its strategic location in the centre of Malaya (or in the centre of nowhere). This is where you will find colonial's relic such as Governemnt Administration building, British's Resident Sir Hugh Clifford's house, Post Office
and Train Station.
Kuala Lipis - "where clock stops ticking", people are laid back and appears in no rushing mood, only made famous in recent time by Malaysia's most coveted singer, Datuk Siti Nurhaliza. I ve been making countless trips to Kuala Lipis for the last 13 years not realizing that a generation before me had left their footprints earlier. Me, married to a lady from Kuala Lipis now, and each trip to this town certainly an escapade from the daily rat race.
