..’Our home was in Ipoh, a growing town on the banks of the Kinta River, centre of the tin-mining district and soon to become capital  of the rich State of Perak .

Round the town were the still peaceful hills, rounded hills bluish white in the sunshine with trees spilling over their upper slopes like green paint spilling out of a tube. It was a beautiful country … still innocent of the trappings of war’ …Sybil Kathigasu, No Dram of Mercy...  before the war reached Ipoh.
