Shuntak AssiciationTaiping in Rough Guides

Richard Lim, a travel writer, who is based in London, paid a visit to the Shuntak Association, Taiping on 11 June 2014.  He was welcomed by some members of the association and was given a guided tour around the association building.  Richard Lim is the author of the Rough Guide travel books and he intends to include a mention of the Shuntak Association Taiping in his forth coming book, which would be published in 2015.   Do keep a look out for this book and make sure you get a copy of it for yourself!

Here is a brief extract on Richard Lim from journals.worldsnomads.com :

 Richard Lim swapped Singapore's sultry climate for a life in the UK more than 25 years ago. He has worked in various editorial roles in book and magazine publishing, and was on the staff at Rough Guides for several years before turning freelance.
Richard is one of the authors of the Rough Guides to Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, and also works on the(city edition) Rough Guide to Singapore.
Besides the Far East, his favourite part of the world to travel in is the Middle East and North Africa. He has a particularly soft spot for Morocco, Lebanon and Israel/Palestine.
