worrying development going on, similar to Penang. There is  beautiful heritage, like the Han Chin Pet Soo museum. But around the corner,  Concubine Lane has been &#8220;spruced up&#8221;  for tourists and  now has losts its character. And not far away, still in Old Town,  there is the new Upside Down museum, not related at all to heritage. I would be happy if the development and maintenance of Old Town Ipoh would be more consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-19 is-layout-flex

Birch was the first British resident of Perak, very unpopular with the Malay nobility and assassinated in 1875. Two Malay noblemen, Dato Maharaja Lela and Dato Sagor were seen as the leaders behind the killing and hanged in 1877. The memorial was built in 1909 behind the town hall, between two roads, Station Road and Post Office Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why am I telling all this  \ud83d\ude09 ? Well, nowadays of course the two Malays are seen as  as &#8220;freedom fighters&#8221; !  To honour them, Station Road has been renamed as Jalan Dato Maharajalela and Post Office Road is now Jalan Dato Sagor !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-20 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ECHQ7639.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" data-attachment-id=\"18701\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=18701\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ECHQ7639.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1562676665&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;16&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00060386473429952&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ECHQ7639\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ECHQ7639-240x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ECHQ7639.jpg\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" src=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ECHQ7639.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"18701\" data-link=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=18701\" class=\"wp-image-18701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ECHQ7639.jpg 640w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ECHQ7639-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8973.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" data-attachment-id=\"18702\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=18702\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8973.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone XS Max&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1562648341&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.25&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00021399529210357&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_8973\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8973-240x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8973.jpg\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" src=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8973.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"18702\" data-link=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=18702\" class=\"wp-image-18702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8973.jpg 640w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8973-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We had lunch at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipohecho.com.my\/v4\/article\/2018\/08\/01\/chang-jiang-white-coffee-seefoon-walks-down-memory-lane\">Chang Jiang White Coffee<\/a>, another gem we  discovered during an earlier visit.

We had found this remote, little known  Thai Buddhist  temple on the slopes of Gunung Rapat during an earlier visit, see my blog  <a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?p=14318\">Gunung Rapat Cave Temples<\/a> . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before exploring the temple we had a look at two cages with monkeys on the temple grounds. They looked aggressive and unfriendly, not clear why they were  kept there. The walls of the cages were made of a mesh with small openings. But not small enough, when we stood watching the poor animals, suddenly one of them put his arm through an opening and grabbed Roger&#8217;s glasses! We were shocked. What to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The residing monk came to help us, by spraying the monkey with a garden hose. That did not work, he got more angry and still kept the spectacles in his hands.  Next the monk tried to give him some bananas, that worked better, the monkey dropped what was left of the specs,  fortunately next to the mesh, so Aric was able to retrieve the twisted frame and two glasses<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-22 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a
