YLCO museum had a pleasant surprise this week when a regular Fb contributer and heritage enthusiast, WeiMingKua aka WMK visited the museum and met Ignatius Chew.

His full name is Kuah Wei Ming. He was brought by another Fb friend and fellow photo enthusiast May May and friend Ann Wong.

Kuah usually posts one photo on his Fb post and adds a caption explaining the subject and date of the photo. All of his photos are about Ipoh and were contributed by family, friends and other sources. Whenever he wants to know more of a photo he refers to books to provide the background and details the caption accordingly.

His interest began around 15-20 years ago when he used to reference ‘Christian Art in Asia’ probably due to being a student of St Michaels Institution. Over the last 5 years he became interested in the Ipoh of yesteryears and would read from any source of information.

Ignatius explains the family connections ...

..having a heritage discussion .....

Ignatius reads Kuah’s postings saying they show a past era and provides valuable information. Ignatius gave Kuah the tour around the museum explaining the family connections all the while exchanging heritage notes. 

Kuah has a keen eye when composing his shots 

Meeting Kuah was a pleasure. Will it translate to more shared heritage information in future.
