Sunday Lite: Rare cars I remember spotting when I was a young lad in Taiping - A Citroen, Saab, Rover & a Borgward

The clocktower in Taiping. I used to go for tuition classes in the building behind the clocktower back in the day.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, these was a time where change was happening.

This was also a time when tin mining was booming around the town.
