Old Photos Around Suleiman Court

The stairs going up to higher ground opposite Odeon Cinema. Now is the bus stops between Sogo and Pertama Complex.

The row of shops in the background are at the junction of Campbell Road and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. The corner shop is Odeon Cafe. Photo is taken in 1964. If you enlarge the photo, you can see some torn up posters of the 1964 General Election on the stone wall.

Part of Block A in the background. 

The curve stairway to the DBKL office at Block C. 

The common corridor where we used to play rollerskates, hopscotch, throw slipper at picture cards game, rubber band jumping game, etc.

The holes on the corridor wall were used to hold long bamboo pole for drying cloths. We also used them as launching pad for 'flrework rockets' to the opposite block during Chinese new years. 

The new two way street of Jalan Raja Laut. The white car is on Jalan Kuching. There were many night time accidents of car driving off Jalan Kuching into the Gombak river.

The trees in the background is where Pertama Complex is now. This picture is taken beside Block C next to Jalan Raja Laut.
