Eastern Smelting Company in Penang, Malaysia

A brief story of this Smelting company in pictures
As a young boy, I was always wondering what was really behind this high hoarding. Our family passed this road when we were on our way to Federal Cinema which was further down the road to watch a movie, entitled, " The one armed swordman" acted by Wang Yu,
Since then the site has been taken over by Ivory Properties Group,
The story of this place in pictures was posted on the fence for the public to view.

If you have the chance to visit The Birch House, you can see this historical plate on top of the main door.

Visiting the Pavilion in the Expo

How many have you visited??? Well only a few
..

In front of each Pavilion , everyone has to line up and you could check with the Expo team how fast you can reach the gate of that particular one you want to enter. Well, we asked and were informed that it would be approximately 3 to 4 hours. Fantastic Eh!!!!

The Expo team in front of each Pavilion. Very cheerful and friendly too when asked to take a picture.

The rest of the visitors

From Baby to.............................. attended this Expo.
On our way to the airport on 23Oct , we heard over the radio that there were approximately 1.3 million people inside the Expo. The announcer even recommended that old people should avoid visiting it.
