Either we keep up (renovate) with the changing times, or we fade away and become relics of the past. For some old folks, they are abandoned by their children just like these dilapidated shop-houses are abandoned by their owners.seniorsaloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349552912264950538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398906867139907280.post-8927015375887023232013-07-25T10:10:56.536+08:002013-07-25T10:10:56.536+08:00The pictures of the old shop-houses in Batu Pahat ...The pictures of the old shop-houses in Batu Pahat look strikingly similar to those in Ipoh, my hometown. In my childhood years I lived with my grand mother, aunt and uncles in a small shop dealing with the retail, service and repair of clocks and watches. The shop was located on the ground floor of a two storey shop-house located along what was then known as Hugh Low Street (now Jln Sultan Iskandar). In those good old days Hugh Low Street was the premier street in the city and the most happening place to be. However today due to rapid development in other parts of the city, Hugh Low Street has become a shadow of its former self. The abandoned old shop house where I grew up is still existing today, but in a dilapidated state.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423757831934492976noreply@blogger.com
