40 years of history...



Pasar Besar Kangar Perlis

This was here ever since before I was born. I was first here at this place when I was in standard 1. My dad brought me here. Yeah, my dad went to wet market more than my mum do. Usually it's me that accompany my dad. Until I was able to go there alone. I took over my dad's duty. In the wet market, there're the place I learn how to pick vege and of course how to bargain price. That's the place where father of a friend of mine that work before. Sure many memories there.

There're a lot of coffee shops nearby that wet market. Every morning, that's the place where most of the people gather around. After marketing, aunties and uncles gather around the coffee shop and gossip (exchange information according to my friend-JOO HOONG). There're two coffee shops that used to be people's choice which are "Huang Guang" and "Huang Hoe". Most of the people in Perlis especially Chinese like to hang out there in the morning. I would say that the place would be strategic and convenient for people from all folks of stages. That's the place where youngs and the olds one meet, place for family and of course to buy somethings. I never miss my chance to have my breakfast there whenever I am in my hometown.

Of course...like they said "That's the hub for information exchange"...

Yesterday, I saw the news about the wet market is going to be allocated to another place and it will be demolished. While people is trying to preserve the heritage, the leaders here try to demolish it. Click here to know more. *Sorry that the news is in Mandarin. Can't get English version one.

This is the new one.

That's all for the 40 years of history...Sometimes, I do hope that my hometown would be remained...coz that's the place I was brought up...but i know that I shouldn't be so selfish...development is for better future...

The 2 coffee shops is the one we went in the morning, after coming back from Thailand right?

Ya sometimes I wish my hometown will be the same too, everytime balik during CNY. But same time wish development for them,for them not to feel left out from development and technology.But with development, there is no more kampung feel
