WATCH: Walk down memory lane with this new gallery-museum in Ipoh


Once upon a time, before World War II, there lived a photographer who had a studio across the Chung Thye Phin Building in Ipoh, Perak. He mingled with the locals, took their photographs, asked about their families and got to know everything about everyone.
