There are NO EX-Pats in China , they are immigrants! Stop pretending because you are western European that you are not an immigrant.That is what you are!
There use to be a lot of art deco houses in KL and PJ, but it is lost in an alarming rates. If Malaysian art sense and culture are higher to realize how the current housing devolopment are destroying part of our own heritage.
I knew something was off with that building.. (because like every single time i went pass this road, i was like : "ey why isit like that one" , and so yeah i didn't expect it to be haunted.
Thank you very much for providing this document. It is exceptionally well-crafted, and I am truly impressed by the work of Chris Ong. It was an honor and a privilege to watch this documentary, and I deeply appreciate the opportunity to do so.
Thank you so much for this video! I learned so much from this after scourging the internet for more information regarding this building. Such an old building with a rich history left to decay... How did you manage to get in contact with the Penang Heritage Trust President? It was lovely to hear her speak so fondly of the building. Odd that the owners didn't restore the place despite applying for a permit. I wonder how much this building is worth today considering it's current condition. How did they buy this building in the first place? Sorry for all my questions. I'm naturally very curious.
Thank you for your kind comment, glad you like this video. She's actually very approachable, she's always around at Penang's gatherings and she really is a walking historic encyclopaedia :) So much knowledge! I think she would the right person to answer your questions. Are you based in Malaysia?
@@NickyAlmasyyeah I'm from here. I recently began reading about abandoned buildings in this country after watching restoration videos involving abandoned school's/homes in the US, and chateau's/convents in France. Not to mention all those abandoned castle's in Europe. Naturally, I became curious of what abandoned buildings existed here as it was difficult to find such information through RU-vid. It was disappointing to find mostly 'this haunted abandoned (insert building)!' type videos. Videos involving the actual history with no ghost stories seemed impossible to find. So I searched for information online which is gave me much better results. I learned a lot more from this website I stumbled upon by raz talhar. That person takes pictures of abandoned places all over the country and writes small bits of history about them. Just type in abandoned buildings raz talhar and you will the website immediately! She seems like a social person then! I'd love to explore Penang more, but it's unfortunately hours away. I'd love to ask her questions too, but how would I do that? How would I contact her being so far away? I am also rather shy... Would it really be alright? Anyways, you two make learning history much more interesting compared to school. I fear information of this place will disappear one day- so I suppose it would be best to collect all my sources now while they're still here. I wish other Malaysian RU-vidrs made videos like this. They're very popular in the west judging by the amount that exists, so maybe one day.
A VR set of this building is available. Just look for Heritage Building of Shing Chung on the map, activate the blue dots by clicking on the pegman button and you may look around this building. I hope people from Fresnel will do a more thorough job.
Stupid title: can YOU play guitar? I can, and I've watched dozens of video's of the band live, and Richey is playing the correct chords, as I have played them. Why he was kept quiet in the mix we can only guess, but there are plenty of vids where he can be heard clearly, and he DID get recorded onto two albums ('La Tristesse' on Gold Against The Soul - and 'No Surface' on Everything Must Go) so give him a bit of credit. Do you think James would have allowed someone onstage pretending to play?
The title is actually from the brilliant Manics song 'Prologue to History' where the line 'Today a poet who can't play guitar' refers to Richey. So technically Nicky Wire stated it, not me. But I do agree with you, he could play the guitar, although if you've read a few biographies on him or the band, it's obvious that he did struggle with it. Which I think added to his charm. Thanks for the comment.
A jönnek a férgektöl a mai napi ráz a hide ha meghallom, jó értelemben! Ilyen kult zenekar nincs egy se magyarországon. Ha tetszik a mi generácionk LGT-je vagy Omegája. Valahogy megmagyarazhatatlan Flója van ami magával ragad...
Hát, én a jönnek a férgek albumig tartottam számon ezt a bandát.... Az volt a csúcs, attól kezdve minden album egy lépcsőnyi hanyatlással volt egyenlő, és ezt a tempót a mai napig meglépik minden kiadott albummal..... Sajnos......
Szuper felvètel. Többször is meghallgattam. Nagyon inspiràlò szàmomra ez a hozzààllàs. A ‘munkàhoz’. Az èlethez. Mindenhez. Így kell ezt csinàlni (csak lazàn-faszàn)- az idô valòban Ôt igazolta! Szeretettel gratulàlok az elmùlt 35 èvhez 🎉Tovàbbi sok sikert kivànok az egèsz zenekarnak! 🙏❤️
Szeretnék ilyen agyat, mármint, hogy így tudjak összefüggően, ilyen sokat, ilyen sebességgel beszélni :D bár kicsit sok benne a kurvázás, de ebben az esetben megbocsájtható, tényleg menő interjú lett. Szép dolog, az is, hogy elmondja Laci, hogy megélni jó a dolgokat nem büszkének lenni, engem nem érdekelne, azért erre a Metallica performanszra - hogy stílszerű legyek qrvára büszke lennék :D
Soha nem felejtettem el, amikor a Jarműjavító művháza udvarán, egy pici lyukban gyakoroltak, Laci a földön ülve énekelt, akkora füstben, hogy az orrunkig nem láttunk. 😂 És azt sem, amikor a rádióban beszélgettünk vele, valamint a kocsija miatt kapcsolatba kerültünk, és újra dumáltunk. Amikor már nagyon sikeresek voltak, akkor is egy 28-as bringával (is) tekert a városban, épp előttem hajtott át, tökön -paszúlyon keresztül az úton. 😂 A legfontosabb, hogy ember maradt, nem egy önmagától elszállt seggfej. És maradt igazi debreceni. Mindig hű volt a városhoz. Respect Laci! 👍
Fasza interjú,ám kb.'97- től valamiért lepattantam a Tankcsapdáról...hm... Abszolút tehetség ! Zseniális pár lemez az elején... A többi futottak még,törvényszerűen...
Baba Lim has such valuable knowledge of tiles and history, he truly is a treasure. My great x3 grandmother’s tomb is decorated with beautiful tiles which I saw in person and took pictures. I shall hope to meet Baba Victor and share these with him someday. Thank you for this video it made my day!
Nothing from this guy has ever impressed me, if he does have any training he is hiding it from the public. All I see is what I would expect to see at a Ninja museum to amuse the children. The stuff and acting is straight out of an 80s Ninja movie.
