Kuala Lumpur recent comments:

This is a Muslim cemetery that used to be connected to Kg Baru but as you can see the new highway cut it off from Kg Baru. Its right behind the hotel and across the street is Zouk, a nightclub. Rather incongruous to say the least.

St Andrew's Presbyterian Church was the original Scottish planters church. It was built over 1917/1918 and opened for worship in 1918 amid much colonial fanfare. This church was the other colonial church besides St Mary's (today a cathedral). The building of this church was originally opposed by Loke Chow Kit who wanted the land for a Chinese language school. The 1st padre of this church was Rev. A Drummond Harcus who served from 1915 until 1923 when he was forced to return to England due to the recurrent malarial attacks he suffered from. The church also has the best church pipe organ in working condition in the whole of Kuala Lumpur. The Riddel-Eminent organ is a hybrid made up of components of the original 1939 Riddell organ married to the 1998 Eminent console by organ builder Mr Robert Navaratnam of Singapore. The original Riddell organ once had the distinction of being the only pipe organ ever to be completely built in Malaya. In 1939, Mr J. A. Riddell used the skills of local craftsmen to fashion all its components except the 29 display pipes which were cast and milled in England. During the Second World War, the Imperial Japanese Army looted all the organ pipes. After the war, Mr. Riddell had the pipes restored but this time employing local expertise, making the Riddell organ the only 100% Malaysian made pipe organ for the next 50 years until the organ upgrade of 1998. The church was also famous for the role it played in 1941 in getting recruits for the war effort. The padre at the time, Rev. Alfred Webb, joined the 2nd (Selangor) Battalion of the Federated Malay States Volunteer Force (FMSVF) and he was commissioned as a captain and chaplain to the 2FMSVF. Many of the congregation served in 2FMSVF and the survivors were taken prisoner by the Japanese. After the war, the stained glass windows were installed to commemorate the war dead. Sir John Hay of the Guthrie Corporation paid for one of the stained glass windows. The Alice Smith Kindergarden School was housed in the present day fellowship hall of St Andrew's Presbyterian Church in 1951 and this arrangement lasted until 1963. After all, it was a St. Andrew's padre, Rev. Sydney Evans, who helped found the Alice Smith School. The church was very much a colonial church until the 1970s when the 1st Asians were admitted. The church has maintained much of its original architecture and internal furnishings and is perhaps one of the finest functioning examples of colonial architecture existing in Kuala Lumpur. The church would be celebrating the 90th anniversary of its opening in 2008.

Thanks to pathfinder for the correction on the spelling of the law firm's name. I have a bad habit of misspelling the firm's name. I am actually keeping a 'watching brief" (so to speak) on the progress of the restoration on behalf of a European building conservation group who came into the picture after the demolition of Bok House. I am still waiting to see if the wrought ironwork in the shape of icanthus leaves which used to grace both sides of the 1st floor of the mansion would be restored. That was one of the unique hallmarks of the Loke Mansion.

Those who are single/lonelihearts would visit the lady medium to arrange for an appointment to "pull red string" which in Chinese means to get attached. She would then tell them to come back on certain days as according to their birth date and to bring along some items like red and white sewing threads and a fixed number of apples for the ceremony. Some friends had tried and it worked.
