Papan: Harkening back to WWII & Sybil Kathigasu

By FOONG PEK YEE
Elderly folk spending their time among the dilapidated buildings in Kampung Baru Papan.

IT WAS a quiet afternoon in Papan New Village. The main road was empty except for a few dogs loitering around.

The new village, within a once prosperous tin mining area called Papan and about 12km from Ipoh city centre, is no ordinary village though.
