NOVEMBER 2013

My colleagues and I from the Malaysian Heart Foundation have left our office in Kuala Lumpur to Bandar Seri Manjung on 21 November 2013. The 223 km journey takes 2 hours 53 minutes.

During our journey from Kuala Lumpur to Seri Manjung, we passed through several towns, such as Seri Iskandar. a major town within the Perak Tengah District in the state of Perak. It is situated about 40 km southwest of the city of Ipoh.

It is close to the towns of Bota, Bota Kanan, and Tronoh. This new town was developed following the construction of the Universiti Sains Malaysia Perak State branch campus. USM Perak State Branch was later changed to Universiti Teknologi Petronas.

Other Educational Institutions are Branch Campus of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Kolej Professional MARA, Institut Kemahiran Belia Negara, Institut Latihan KEMAS and Kolej Vokasional MARA.

PROGRAM COORDINATION MEETING

AEON SERI MANJUNG

SERI MANJUNG, PERAK

11 AUGUST 2015

Again attended the Program Coordination meeting with the Lumut Lion Club at AEON Seri Manuung on 11 August 2015 together with Encik Salehuddin, our Program Manager. 

We stayed at a Budget Hotel in Lumut District, Perak. I am familiar with the town of Lumut. As a former member of the Royal Malaysian Navy, Lumut is the main base of the RMN where I received training as a member of the RMN in Lumut, Perak in the early 1980s.

I am happy to meet up with old friends, Savirimuthu who served together on board KD Raja Jarom in Woodlands, Singapore in 1981/82 and then again at KD Sri Rejang Naval Base in Sibu, Sarawak in 1983/84.

If you arrive in Lumut, try to look on the left side of the road; you will see an old abandoned wooden house, not demolished for certain reasons. Local residents say that the house is haunted and difficult to demolish.
