This blog contains old postcards and photos of Malaysia, from the late 50s to the early 90s, as well as some bits about the old architecture. My objective is to show everyone what our fast developing country was like in simpler times. If your'e interested in the pre 1950s era you can visit

Not sure where this is, but i think its the Bukit Besi mine. If it is, Bukit Besi started mining for iron in the 40s by a japanese company, but it ceased operation in the early 70s. Many abandoned buildings can be seen around the area, while the train track is lost. All that remains of the 70 year old jetty are one or two stilts. A pre 1963 documentary about Bukit Besi can be seen on Youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxc07is8F7o
