Thank you for taking the time to film this clip. Doris is a nice, friendly lady .. never fails to ask me if I'd like to have a drink at her bar. I brought a couple of visitors and then some friends to her place. Listen to her story from days gone by. She did travel sometime back,but like what she said, her legs started to give her some problem. Bless he,I'd probably catch up with her sometime soon when the MCO is over.. Once again, thank you for sharing. 👍
At 3:18, I think she says "upstairs, it used to be an opium (den); instead of "open". Opium dens were fairly common back then in Malaya. On some accounts, opium accounted for up to 60% of annual revenue for the British government from Malaya. Chinese labourers in urban areas like Singapore and Penang relied heavily on it. This part of history has largely been forgotten (be it unintentionally or buried by shame). Many smoked their lives and dreams away, my grandfather being one of them. Thank you again for this video, very lovely and insightful interview.
This was pretty interesting. Seems like a very lovely lady to talk to. I’m studying here in Malacca, but yeah I agree, Malacca is not what it used to be. But then again, nothing ever is right?

This is so interesting! Thank you for sharing this.
I supposed the word 'bac' used by Doris Lee for a small measure of spirit is a mispronunced equal for the actual word 'peg'. I might be wrong.
