Heritage buidling: Goodbye to an old landmark
This was the first stable in Taiping where racehorses were kept, when racing began in 1886.
The owner was one Chung Ah Yong, the second son of Kapitan Chung Keng Kwee.
The Taiping Heritage Society was given to understand that historical buildings in the town would be preserved.
Unfortunately, this building has been demolished.
As we have a Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry, we would appreciate that some effort be made to preserve and prevent the destruction of unique heritage structures.
Incidentally, Taiping has been declared as “Bandar Warisan” for more than 10 years now.
