BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. www.britishpat...

Many of the buildings are still around e.g those located at Jalan Ampang, Jalan Campbell (now Dang Wangi), Jalan Raja. Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin, Petaling Street, Market Square/Medan Pasar etc etc. Brings back so much memories.

I'am a Malaysian Malay Muslim man age 33, I stay at Johor Bahru, Malaysia, for me, even I was born in Malaysia, my late grandpa is a Singaporean, but I would like to say that I love Singapore, because I feel very happy when I was in Singapore at anytime, it is quite easy to earn an income, I hate Kuala Lumpur, because for 5 years I stay in Kuala Lumpur, it is so difficult to get a job, because I am not qualified for any jobs, the only job I can get is a security guard, working for 12 hours a day, with a salary of RM 450/- per month, I suffer with a lot of stress. latter I when to Johor Bahru then go to Singapore, thanks to God, now I have my own house at Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

The K.L. of my childhood. A wonderful place to live. Sadly a lot of it has gone now. I returned in 2006 and I was so disappointed in what it had become, I vowed that I would not return to visit again. Having stated that, thanks for posting this video. It brings back great memory's.

@Bellakelpie 3 года назад

@Ahmad Nizam I did go back. But most of what I remember had been torn down. Where my my fathers old office was located, is now a Monorail Station. Jalan Ampang, in my day was a 2 lane road lined with huge pepper trees. I used to ride my bike up and down it frequently, but last visit got lost and only figured out where I was when I happened to walk past the old Le Coq Dor Restaurant, which has since been demolished. The Racecourse site is now occupied by the KLCC complex and Petronas Towers.(which I did find very impressive.) But overall, it was too confusing. Anyway, maybe one day after the world sorts the Covid business out, I will look at going back again ........

@Bellakelpie 3 года назад

@Ahmad Nizam My family were in Malaya/Malaysia from 1945 until 1975, so "our time" was a long time ago. 😁 I now live in Australia and the rest of my family live in other parts of the world. In saying that, I still feel privileged to be one of the small number of European children to have experienced growing up in such a unique country, with such wonderful people and lovely food, (which I really miss. (A Nasi Lemak, some Satay and a bowl of Mee Goreng, are mandatory each visit) I still have many Malaysian friends, Malay, Chinese and Indian, children of my father's associates, with whom I keep in close touch with and meet when I pass through. Change is inevitable of course and must be accepted, but nothing can take the memories I have, away. And I was present at the Merdeka Square on the night of 31st August, 1957, to witness the official lowering of the Union Jack and the raising of the Jalur Gemilang. The shouts of the crowd repeating the Tunku's cries of "Merdeka, " were spine tingling. 😊

@Bellakelpie 3 года назад

@Ahmad Nizam There are a few of us down here who co incidentalky went to the same school in KL at that time. 😁 It is still going by the way...Sekolah Alice Smith in Jalan Belamy.🙂 We also lived in Singapore, Ipoh and Kota Kinabalu, known as Jesselton in those days. One other thing that I have clear memories of....The Emergency and the precautions everyone had to take when traveling thru rural and remote areas. The military escorted road convoys going up to the Cameron Highlands or to Bukit Fraser and the armoured cars that traveled in front of trains, which were hauled by steam locomotives. Vivid and unique memories. My mother is still alive, though my father has recently passed away. Thank you for your wishes of a long life. I wish the same to you 😁

@Bellakelpie 3 года назад

@Ahmad Nizam My father, who was awarded the Panglima Setia Mahkota (PSM) by HM The Agong in 1972, only passed 2 years ago. I think our diet, which comprised of mainly a mixture of traditional Malay and Peranakan dishes, plus copious amounts of Rambutans, Mangosteens, Pomelo, Lychee and Papaya, had a lot do with my parents longevity. 😂😂😂😂 (Only my mother was a fan of Durian. 😉)

The little blond lad sauntering across the lawn at the very end is my dad! He's wearing socks, because apparently there were thorny plants all over the lawn. He vividly remembers the monsoon ditches around each property, and how the jungle areas were strictly no-go due to guerilla ambushes. He also still can't eat fried egg and beans/tinned spaghetti, as that's all his ayah knew how to cook and he had it every day!

Please correct the title, It was Malaya and not Malaysia. Malaysia was only formed after the admission of Sabah (North Borneo), Sarawak and Singapore to The New Federation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963. Singapore left Malaysia on 25 September 1965.

There is a big difference between WAS and IS. Non of those countries are colonised by anyone now and have been totally free of foreign control for years. However, a few of them are “ influenced” by the communist party of China, while others tread very carefully, lest they also find themselves being “ leaned on.” 😉

@@Bellakelpie Your love for the old KL is so genuine. Must be sad seeing so much of the old buildings being demolished and replaced by the high rise buildings. I was not so fortunate to live in the era of the 50s, 60s, 70s and even 80s as i am now only in my twenties. Would have love to be living during the times when the traffic was almost non existent and life was so serene. Thanks Bellakelpie for sharing your experience. May God Bless you and your family.

They played a different political role now. They were 'the back-room boys' taking 'a back seat' in a local 'political play'. Just like 'old whiskey' in a brand new bottle for a three cheers. China remained 'a threat*' and it is happening now! *'The Chinese Communist of Malaya.
