Well how time flies.That was circa 1970 and now it is May 2020.That makes it a half a century. When I recall the year 1970 I remember with fondness my late mother calling and yelling at me during the weekends especially,"Yau go to the grocery shop to get me a small tin of condensed milk."We then had the "Susu Chap Junjung" and it cost 55 cents in 1970. Telok Anson(now renamed Teluk Intan)was a sleepy hollow town fifty years ago as me and my family had to wait for those buses to arrive to take us home at a rakety shack just in front of the playground now long gone. The Telok Anson of half a century ago was so vastly different from that at present.Then in 1970 we do not have a main bus station. But my happier lives were spent in Telok Anson until we left that town for Ipoh in 1972. In 1970 the Chinese were mesmerised by the swordsplay epic movies of Wang Yu and his movies "One Armed Swordsman" and "The Return of One Arm Swordsman" was always sold out in advance in ticket sales. In 1970 it was very rare for young Malay girls to spot the Tudung as even in schools they wore the same school uniform as that of the other races.It was true harmony then. Yes TV shows like Night Gallery" "Monster from Outer Space","Banana Split","Time Tunnel"," Combat" were some of the popular TV shows in 1970.We only had two channels in black and white. But in 1970 as a ten year old kid I was fortunate enough to watch the 1970 Thomas Cup final between Malaysia and Indonesia at the Stadium Negara and also the 1970 World Cup football matches in Mexico. Yes trishaw riders were a sight to behold in 1970 when I was in Ipoh.I saw so many trishaw riders waiting for their clients in front of the Ipoh's central market and the famous Emporium supermarket. Yes life in 1970 was simple but the present generation may not have known what then life was half a century ago.But I love those smells and scent of the Telok Anson in 1970 as well as in Ipoh.If given a chance I would turn the clock back to 1970.
right on bro ', everybody was good to one another regardless of race and religion......I went to school at Ipoh at this time..... English Primary School at Pasir Putih.....life is wonderful and peaceful until our new breed of politician tend to play the religion and race cards.........
Rindu nya masa zaman ini bangun pagi pagi terus menuju sungai untuk mandi masa zaman ni ke banyaknya zaman miskin tapi x serabut pandang sekeliling tumbuhan menghijau kicauan burung dan unggas sejuk mata hati walaupun masa tu saya duduk di KL daerah Gombak masa tu sawah padi masih ada lagi tapi zaman sekarang ni bangun je pandang batu je lah dan pada zaman tu budak budak semua hormat orang tua tak memilih untuk bergaul zaman sekarang ni sedih tapi apa nak dikata zaman dah berlalu tak kan mungkin hujan berbalik kelanggit
@@HumbleMicheal以仁慈 some area Gombak tht time masih hijau, maybe kat area2 kampung2 dalam. That time bandar KL and Gombak di pisahkan dengan hijauan kiri kanan, saya masih ingat. Masih ada kekampungan di celah2 nya.
I am so surprised and thank the contributor of this video. Basically every Malaysian do not have video recording at that time as Malaysians are not advanced in technology yet. We only have a simple old fashion camera. I am near 60 now (2024). In 1970 I was in Kulai, Johor, followed by where my late dad worked (he worked in managing a palm oil plantation). With my late father's work, we traveled to Kulai-Johor, KL, Kemaman-Terengganu, and Kuantan-Pahang. I felt the calmness in those days, and at that moment I was only 6 years old. I still recall how people wear, talk, and are not like people now. Every movement in their daily task was at a slow pace, in the sundry shops, coffee shops, the market, basically everywhere. The Malaysians were not influenced by the outside world or political issues back then. People looked so innocent, they lived and moved forward humbly. The Malays are friendly, sweet, and humble, i love their local food is yummy, the Chinese only think about business, they speak in their own native dialects most time (not much of Mandarin), and the Indians are nice and friendly too, i love the smell of the Indian rice and their curry. I have all races of friends. We only speak Malay and English while communicating. By the way, I am from the Chinese lineage.
Thanks, bring back the nostalgic memories and scenery, i was 13 years old then! How wonderful we had friends.from malays, indian, singh playing football, gasing, flying kites and etc, etc,,, those were the wonderful days
Thank you for this video. Reminds me of the good old days of Malaysia when I was still young. Much remains the same to this day like old buildings in KL. Priceless historical record 👍👍👍
Those were the days when there were no overdeveloped tourist spots and made-in-other-country handicrafts. No jam. No worries. Nights and evenings were much cooler than today. Missing those days.
Susah sangat nak jumpa orang yg berat badan berlebihan. Seperti tiada langsung. Mungkin cara hidup seperti banyak berjalan, kurangnya makanan segera/proses food, tiada restoran 24jam dan sebagainya banyak membantu. Tetapi ketika tahun tu, masih ada komunis di hutan-hutan Malaysia. Mmg sangat indah bila melihat suasana sebegini. Namun pasti ada yg pahit ketika itu, kerana terpaksa bergelut untuk meneruskan kehidupan. Seharusnya kita perlu kenang suasana sebegini, supaya kita tahu dimana kita SEBELUMnya, dimana kita SEKARANG dan dimana kita SELEPAS ini. Sentiasalah bersyukur.
Orang dulu byk mkn real food... pas tu kerja kuat kluar peluh padan dgn mkan byk... orang skarang mkn byk smua mkanan y lalu depan mata, fast food... lama2 makin gemuk xlarat nk jalan... kerja mengadap komputer, exercise xnak... pastu nk kurus mkn produk kurus... klu xkurus salahkan ubat kurus...
Dulu masa komunis, mereka rebus ubi keladi, dan ubi kentang dan makan. Lepas itu kerja keras spt potong kayu untuk jadikan sumber api utk memasak. Dulu takde tong gas. Masa dulu tak pernah tengok orang gemuk.
It is not Kota Kina Balu but Kota Bharu Kelantan. The photo show the old bus station and the old Kota bharu market. Thank you for sharing. Now it totally different 100%.
Jauh beza.... Dulu dan skrg.... Dulu nyaman x sibuk..byk.. kehijauan.. Hutan masih byk... kampung masih kelihatan masih x membangun x electric.. x air paip semua menggunakan pelita dan air telaga.. x bangla.. x indon... x myanmar.. x Vietnam... semua nya org. tempatan...
Mana ko tau yg indon tak wujud dekt semenanjung sebelum 31 ogos ?? Sebelom adenye m'sia or indon orang dulu" suka ati je nak pi mane .... Ntah" nenek buyut ko asal indon pulak ...... Please baca lagi sejarah tu ...... Berpunca daripada british, Netherlands, jepun lah kite serumpun ni besekat jadilah macam singapura,brunei,malaysia,indonesia.
it should have been left like that with full of nature... build too many office and highway also no use... because after coronavirus, they are deserted... everyone just work at home....
Voluntary Service-were you Peace Corp Volunteer Teachers?Because I know there were Peace Corp Volunteers from the U.S. who came to teach in Malaysia also during the 1970s.
I was always eagerly waiting for the roti man, the nyonya who sold kueh, we called it kueh nyonya back then but now we called it kueh melayu and not forgetting the hot kaya bun. In fact, nobody really used the word halal.
Bukit bintang was like less cars,like wolks wagen cars and vans,peugeot taxis. Black yellow,ford's.lots of night clubs,go go dance even mens style hipi. I born in 1962.where now land is klcc.
Were the German Volunteers Peace Corp Volunteers teaching English in Malaysian schools?-I thought the Peace Corp Volunteers were Americans(My mother used to teach them Malay Language/Bahasa Malaysia)
