As a Taiping historian & citizen, you should have shown all the heritage buildings still standing strong today since 1875. You were only focusing on the bowling alley, the food & the lake. There are so many historical places for people to see on your RUclips. Now that is all about Taiping our heritage town known worldwide & won an award for that too.
Heritage? I cover those, some in 360 too. Whole stretches of old properties, many built before WWII, were all demolished during or before the pandemic. Among them are houses along Jalan Hang Jebat, Jalan Panglima, Toh Kay Beng bazaar and Rex Plaza, Lido Cinema, a breathtaking Art Deco building that really should've been preserved, the old Magistrates Court/Perak Railways Building, and much more. The bottom line is, the town doesn't give a toss about heritage. The word is used for tourism, nothing more.
I did not know Malaysia has the same prison educational system as in Norway! Wow, that's really cool to know 19:25 Honestly, was half expecting you or Duncan would bowl 😂
Lovely high quality video, if you're ever back here in my lovely historical town, do look me up so you can know the smashing history of the place! Cheers and keep rocking on!
The younger generation of Malaysians are more aware of how 'gweilo' can be perceived as derogatory but I assure you that old people don't mean to be offensive when they use that term. It's more of the case of not being educated on that matter.
Watching this while studying in Sydney, miss my hometown so much! Thanks heaps for bringing out the best of Taiping! Cheers boys and have a great day!
Thank you so much for your note - you are from an amazing place! Enjoy Sydney - I spent a semester at USyd, also an amazing city!

There’s unfortunately only so much we can include in the video, but we most definitely did appreciate the beautiful architecture while in Taiping!

Oh, thank you for clarifying!
You should go to the state of Kelantan and Terengganu... You'll see a lot more of the Malay culture and architecture
I would love to visit!

So cool to learn what a prison officer does here.
Agreed!
When you need to excuse yourself, you can say 不好意思，打擾你了。this would be nicer
