On the morning of 28 August 2011, the Kuala Lumpur Chinese Assembly Hall brought 40 of its members to Taiping to visit heritage sites. We were very fortunate to have our heritage association building on their itinerary. Special mention of thanks must be made to Mr Teoh Chee Keong, a lecturer of Architecture and Built Environment at the UCSI University, KL, for bringing them here.
On arrival at the gate of our old , heritage association building, the visitors from KL Chinese Assembly Hall was given a briefing on our restoration project by our Restoration Committee Chairperson, Tung Lay Chun.
Mr. Teoh Chee Keong was next to speak, he gave a detailed explanation about the roof of the building which needed to be replaced for it may fall apart anytime. The visitors looked up rather anxiously.
After a short tour of the old association building, the visitors were taken to the new association premises for light refreshment and a look at some of the artifacts. Some seemed to be still worried about the roof!
The leader of the KL Chinese Assembly Hall delivered her speech and in support of our effort to restore the heritage association building, the visitors donated a generous sum towards our cause. Our heartfelt gratitude to the members of the KL Chinese Assembly Hall.
