KUANTAN: Irreplaceable objects of cultural heritage went up in smoke when several shops in a two-storey row of Colonial-era building on Jalan Mahkota caught fire on Tuesday (Sept 9) night.
Chairman of the Kuantan Kwong Siew Association, located on the upper floor, Cheong Lai Chee, 65, said notably a set of century-old chairs and a rare Chinese typewriter with Mandarin characters were razed in the fire.
