My ex-schoolmates from Methodist Girls School (class of 1977!) in Perak and I decided to swap our stiletto heels for trainers one fine Saturday morning. We wanted to go on a whirlwind adventure to Kinta Valley in our home state.
Armed with enthusiasm, our group of boisterous ladies gathered at the base of Gunung Panjang in Tambun to have a glimpse of one of Malaysia’s national heritage sites, only a stone’s throw away from Ipoh. We met up with a few archaelogists, led by Dr Goh Hsiao Mei from Universiti Sains Malaysia, who were conducting monthly workshops at Gua Tambun, a prehistoric rock art shelter.
