The house with a heart

This Turgor style building has been standing in the prime area of Ipoh, near the roundabout next to the Perak Chief Minister's residence, witnessing many decades of ups and downs of Ipoh. Despite all the tears and wears of Perak political arena, this elegant building has certainly stand the tests of time. It has initially been set up as a non profittable maternity centre, serving the poors after the Second World War. Then it was a kindergarten to nurture young kids. And it was a house for worshipers of God. It is now a beautiful site under the Kinta Heritage.
Do wish the NGO well allow it to develop into a small museum for children to cherish the unconditioned contributions of that generation.

The most beautiful building in Malaysia

What is your vote?
I can only think of the iconic Petronas Twin Tower.
It is not just because of the pride of being the tallest twin building in the world, or the beautiful design and structure. It is the combination of elements and energy that make anyone just come back again and again to view the magnificence.

Metal: strength of the steel and glass
Wood: spread of luscious greenery and undulating landscape
Water: flowing energy of the pools and fountains
Fire: passion from the shape of the twin buildings and the podium
Earth: stability of the strong base which is KLCC (It has the deepest foundation in the world due to the large amount of concrete to supplement steel)

No wonder this area has the highest property price in Malaysia.
