May - June 2007 Volume 4, Issue 3 Heritage News

A bi-monthly newsletter of the Heritage Society. For Members only.

Greetings!

By the National Heritage Act 2005 (NHA), our heritage is made up of the tangible such as area, monument and building and the intangible, which includes language, music, folksongs, poetry, the performing arts, martial arts, oral traditions and others. As stakeholders in our shared heritage, the community is often ignored because of the rights of the owners. How much would the government do for the community? Who are the NHA supposed to protect and what will be protected? For enlightenment, we have adapted selected para- graphs from the brochure ‘Caring for your Community’s Heritage’, is- sued by the Heritage Council of Western Australia, April 2000. Read on. We all have a personal view of heritage places and things that are special to us and our families. The same quality of attachment applies to places valued by your local community, your region, your state and your country. Australia and have common values, and heritage has a common voice for all, especially the community, a stakeholder in heritage.

In July 2006, UNESCO World Heritage Status was awarded to the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape. Ten distinct areas are included in the Mining Landscape which features the remains of deep mining activities from 1700 to 1914. Just reward for the effort of more than 70 organizations co-operated to present the bid to the World Heritage Committee. A spokesperson for the West Devon Council commented, ‘The status puts us on the World map as a place of international significance. Along with bringing a sense of pride to the community, the economic benefits will be huge. Evidence from other World Heritage Sites proves that the status brings in more money which in turn will lead to more jobs as well as protecting existing jobs, too. It has already been estimated that the new status will bring in an extra 60,000 visitors to Cornwall and West Devon every year.’ Cornwall, England has a long history in tin-mining. It was the world’s major source of tin long before the tin rushes in Perak in the 19th century. For more info, go to http://www.cornwalltouristboard.co.uk. As the world’s top producer of tin from late 19th century through most of the 20th century, Perak’s Kinta Valley is a world historic industrial site. A potentially exciting tourist experience awaits the adventurous. But what do we have to show for the legacy of tin-mining? Lying in poor condition 30 km away from Ipoh, the dredge TT5 in Chenderong, Tanjong Tualang is a matter of grave concern. But, it is set to become a tourist attraction, according to a report in the Star. Steven Ng, who used to manage Kellie’s Castle, a well-established tourist spot, has gone to the Press about his plans for TT5. We wish him well. Open-cast mining is a major operation involving a large area. The open-cast tin-mine at Balakong, Sungei Besi, just outside KL has been successfully converted into the Mines Wonderland, a mega development. But what could you do with the SEK mine in Kampar, 42 km away from the provincial city of Ipoh? It was our largest open-cast tin-mine until it closed-down recently. What about other mining towns? The Sungei Lembing mining museum has not fully exploited the industrial history of the world’s deepest lode mine. Ignored and treated as unimportant, its industrial buildings have bee vandalized and stripped. However, the community living here remains enthusiastic for the historic hometown. Page 3 of 8 Focus

KAMPONG KUCHAI AT DUSK By Law Siak Hong

As a ‘late-comer’, Ipoh had become the second largest town (to Gopeng) in the Kinta District by 1889. The following year, to go south to Gopeng, bullock carts would cross the Sungai Kinta using its first wooden bridge, the Hugh Low Bridge. During the term of E W Birch, Resident of Perak (1905-1910), Ipoh expanded from Old Town to New Town. By the east bank of the Kinta and to the south of New Town is Kampong Kuchai.

Neglected for decades, periodic fire is a bane to the place. Another old workshop was burnt down recently. So, with a sense of adventure, PHS member, Chong Fong Loon and I took a stroll through Kampong Kuchai in the fuzzy-muzzy dusk. The house of Abdul Wahab bin Datoh Domba of Sungai Raia, dated 1903. We took the main access beside the post office at Jalan C M Yusuf. Window detail (below) The road was badly broken up and full of pot holes. Among wild vegetation and shady large trees, we found a clearing and parked. We were not prepared for the blood-thirsty mosquitoes but we found the fire- damaged workshop and other fascinating pre-World War Two buildings.

There were two rows of single-storey workshops, one with jack roof (for ventilation), sited perpendicularly to each other, two blocks of old (to- bacco) factory buildings with tiled roof (the older one in ruin), and several handsome Malay houses dotting the area in partial use, although quite dilapidated. Their address was a number with the prefix ‘K’, for Kampong Kuchai.

We approached the operators, workers and caretakers for local knowledge but their accounts were of more recent times.

Kampong Kuchai, after the war, became the ‘centre for vehicular workshops’: welders, lorry-carriage-builders, metal lathes, panel beaters and spray-painters, and more recently, an iron and aluminium works and a battery shop. Some ramshackle sheds were being occupied by Indian families and ‘invisible’ Chinese. The business signage was telling; from their style, material and condition, we could estimate their productive period.

Surrounded by development of impressive houses and shop-houses, Kampong Kuchai is trimmed and cut off. It has become an inner-city ‘industrial backwater’, languishing as the last large ‘green’ spot in New Town.

Why is this prime land not re-developed? Is it due only to unresolved private ownership? Would the developer conserve these old buildings and exploit the heritage of the place as an asset to the re-development? If not, it would be a waste, for the rows of old workshops are structurally sound. They and the Malay houses can be adapted for re-use. In ringgit and sense, re-development involving urban conservation would win the hearts and minds of citizens and visitors.

Kampong Kuchai has seen better days. Would it get a new life? This run-down ‘urban village’ is in the hands of fate. The happy mechanic, putting on a brave face despite losing his workshop in a fire.

Historical Notes on Kampong Kuchai Kampong Kuchai is bounded by the Sungai Kinta and several streets and the east bank of the Sungai Kinta between Hugh Low Bridge and the light- bridge from Jalan Bijih Timah (Treacher Street). It is encircled and ‘hidden’ by buildings which line the main streets:

 At Jalan Masjid (formerly Hume Street) are the Datoh Panglim Mosque (1898), the family mausoleum, the Madrasah Kamaliah, a Malay girls’ school, and a house belonging to Abdul Wahab bin Datoh Domba of Sungei Raia (1903), later used by the Chin Woo Association until the We were told that some of the seventies; decoration on the roof ridge have  Jalan C M Yusuf (Chamberlain Road), with the post office and been stolen. shophouses;  Jalan Bendahara: Park Hotel (formerly the house of Liang Gen), Shen Jai Independent School and the Hakka Association (formerly a stylish house); and  Jalan Datoh: houses including ‘a beautifully crafted house’, built around 1910, probably the residence of the Dato’ Seri Adika Raja and his wife Toh Puan Sharifah Rodiah. How did the place get its name? According to a local historian, Kampong Kuchai took its name from the popular and easy-to-grow vegetable, kuchai, which was grown in the market gardens here. (Choo Choong Yin, Random Notes on Ipoh and its Surroundings, which records post-war occupancy in Kampong Kuchai and the emergence of Chinese-owned vehicular work- shops.) ‘In the early days, while Ipoh Old Town was predominantly Chinese, the east bank of the Sungai Kinta was inhabited by Malays’, many of them very wealthy. (Khoo Salma Nasution and Abdur-Razzaq Lubis, Kinta Valley: Pioneering Malaysia’s Modern Development.) The Egyptian Qur’anic teacher Sheikh Tholji, who popularized Qur’anci recitation in Perak, was based at the Madrasah Kamaliah (early 20th century). In 1931, this area was described as ‘a select Malay suburb’ where the land-owning aristocracy had thrived on Wall detail. the prosperity of the town. In 1904, William Cowan (the Protector of Chinese, a government official), Dr R M Connolly (the state surgeon) and leaders of the community (Foo Choo Choon and Leong Fee) began the Perak Chinese Maternity Hospital (now renamed Perak Commu- nity Specialist Hospital) in a wooden building at the site of the post office and the adjacent Embassy Hotel. The building was donated by Cheah Cheang Lim and others. When the hospital moved into a new Art Deco styled building on Kampar Road in 1938, the building became the main school of the Chung Shan Chinese (Primary) until 1955 when it, too, moved into its branch school at Jalan Treacher (Selatan) in the south-west of Kampong Kuchai. Since pre-war, the tobacco factory had produced popular local brands of cigarettes and Indian cheroot. By the late 70’s it was given to the culti- vation of mushrooms. Later, it became machinist workshops. Behind the factory is the tofu maker A unit of the workshops row. who supplied the stalls in Central Market nearby. After the war, more and more welders set up small workshops here. Near Jalan Masjid, a double-storey building, styled like a house, was a small shoes factory until planning authorities had it stopped in the 1990’s. Up to the 1980’s, Kampong Kuchai was also where many Indian toddy-collectors Photos (pg 4): Nick Coffill lived. Page 5 of 8 Interview

INTERVIEWING DAVID PALMER By Law Siak Hong

Mai, David’s wife, predicted that I would have sleepless night due to nerves prior to the interview. She was partly right. For those who are unfamiliar with David, he is in his mid-seventies, and a graduate of Imperial College, London who came to Malaysia in 1960 after 7 years in the UK coal mines. He has wide international experience including a 10-year stint as the go-between for the World Bank and Burma’s (Mynmar’s) tin-mining industry. He has also negotiated with real South American Presidents. He is a terrific host and a giant, gentle as he may be. Running late and apologetic I wasted no time getting on with the interview. Mai’s coffee provided the kick-start. David believes that ‘both government and PHS have common aims but, what is the purpose of PHS if it does not communicate with the govern- ment? PHS should be careful not to alienate nor confront.’ Agreed, for that would be counter-productive, even though we have reacted in lesser moments. Not cool! As preliminaries, David positions his definition of heritage in Perak and Mai and David Palmer, Mr Ooi and Malaysia. He has very clear ideas of what is Malaysia’s and more members of PHS posed on the TT5. specifically, Perak’s heritage. For PHS to achieve its objectives, if and when File photo from 2003. it gets its act together, David says we need to plan and strategise. Photo: Law Siak Hong ‘The PHS should define what it wants to preserve that is the heritage of Malaysia. The heritage of Malaysia starts as a part of the Malay world.’ OK, I thought. ‘What the British did was build towns comprising trading posts, forts and jails.’ The conversation thickens. David is the last of the foreign partners in Osborne and Chappel (O&C) and he is writing a book about the partnership from 1890’s to 1993, the year he re- tired. The book should be a full-course dinner, with herbs and spices and all things nice. So, what is O&C and who were the men behind it? ‘Osborne and Chappel is a professional partnership of mining engineers and promoters who became managers and agents - in simple terms, “a gang of entrepreneurs”. O&C has a history of 25 partners and the floatation of at least 25 public listed companies. It was people like O&C who initiated and started Foreign Direct The dredge that David built, 1979. Investment (FDI) in Perak. It was not the British Government whose civil service only designed ways and means and kept the records. ‘The founding partner was F. Douglas Osborne. He was Irish and first came to Negri Sembilan in the 1880’s. Not long after, he joined the tin rush in the Kinta Valley. He rose to be quite an important man, becoming a member and later the chairman of the Ipoh Sanitary Board in 1896. Osborne introduced hydraulic mining (conveying water in pipes) to Kinta Valley from California. He was the first to put together a successful gravel pump mine. He raised money from Camborne and London to invest in Malayan mines. Chappel joined Osborne in 1901. He originated from Cornwall and came to Malaya from South Africa.’ The interview was laced with anecdotes. David recalls his site visit with the PHS to ‘Bagas Zakaria’, the house of Zakaria in Gopeng, the award-winning conservation project. Gopeng is the town where O&C has left its mark. The Interview Page 6 of 8

presentation by Azim, the grandson of Zakaria, was attended by the village chief, the penghulu of Kampong Lawan Kuda and his entourage of kampong women, most of whom have worked with David in the 1960’s. They recognized each other and chatted about the past. ‘Tin is the most important heritage of Ipoh and the Kinta Valley. Without tin there would have been no Ipoh,’ David said emphatically, ‘and Osborne and Chappel has been around for as long as there is Ipoh and tin-mining in the Kinta Valley.’ So should we not preserve the tin dredge in Chenderong? Avoiding a direct answer, David diplomatically offered an opinion: ‘The dredge should be viewed in the broad context of the heritage of the Kinta Valley. We must throw away pre-conceived ideas. There are ways it can be done.’ That is for sure, as David has probably more experience in dredging around the world than most. It looks like the dice is in our hands: what do More photos of Kampung Kucai we want to do about Perak heritage? As the interview ran into overtime, David tucked in briefly. What are the most significant changes in your life in Malaysia? Air-conditioners and Highways! What is your greatest achievement here? Kuala Langat Tin Field in (now part of the Wetlands Project). ‘I was in at its birth and its death. The deposit was part of a forest reserve and a variety of companies built eight dredges during the 1970’s and 1980’s. My pride and joy was Petaling D9 (completed 1982), one of the biggest dredges ever built and all done in 17 months. It is still there and there have been some attempts to conserve it. I put the project together and luckily it got its cost back very quickly,’ David oozed with pride and satisfaction, ‘because the tin market collapsed in March 1986 and within a few years all was shut down.’ David reiterated that Malaysia Heritage is as much about the Malay world, the countryside, the rivers and the kampongs along the river as it is about ‘recent’ buildings in the towns. ‘I believe that over the years the country has met all the demands of a modern society, and successfully overcome every challenge it encountered. It’s a record that cannot be bettered anywhere in the world! The economic cake (pie is probably not his favourite) has gotten bigger for all to share and this must be appreciated by all. Focus on the macro-heritage, the big picture. Criticisms of things badly-done merely distract you from what is important.’ A window in Kampong Kuchai. Photo : Chong Fong Loon So, what would you do for Perak Heritage? ‘If I were the chair of the PHS, (the man is fearless), I would attempt to document the big picture to bring into focus the conflicting and demanding responsibility for recording herit- age, for conservation and for restoration. This is not a do-it-yourself. You need professionals. I would raise RM200,000 to employ the best available, to find out which road to travel to record, conserve and restore the appropriate heritage sites past and present, physical or otherwise.’ Thank you, Mr David Palmer, a man with not only vast experience to share but also a genuine love for the country he has called home for 47 years.
