Piece of history treated as scrap


SMK Raja Perempuan Kelsom in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, history dates back to 1906.

A SOCIAL media post of a man offering to sell the original beam of a 113-year-old school building in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, has upset many.

The advertisement shared in a private Facebook group called Kuala Kangsar Sempoi, was from an individual asking if anyone was interested in buying scrap metal, which he had described as “old metal of good quality from the colonial era.”
