  • Ipoh Malaysia Jan 2025

    My father was born in Ipoh in 1932. Somehow in all my travels around Malaysia in the last 45 years, I did not pay much attention to Ipoh. Places like Penang, Taiping, Kuantan, Langkawi seemed to offer much more than Ipoh, It is only after visiting Ipoh this time I realised that Ipoh had so…

  • Krakow / Auschwitz June 2019

    I just felt a lot of sadness when I visited Auschwitz. I cannot imagine the horror that the mainly Jewish people felt when they were brought by the trains from all over Europe to this place. I still cannot understand how man can do this to their fellow man.

  • Penang Malaysia Aug 2015

    I can visit Penang every month and still I will get thrilled with every visit. My love affair with Penang started when I was offered a chance to study computer science in Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang in 1980. It was such an beautiful experience from 1980 to 1984 that I have always made it a…

  • Angkor Wat Cambodia Aug 2015

    I still rate Angkor Wat as one of the top five places I have visited to date. You can feel that you are steeping into a time tunnel when you visit this place. The main temple looks like it was occupied until yesterday based on how well they have been preserved.
