Rifle Range Flats Visit

From the title, do you know where is the rifle range flats? This flats are locating at Penang Island. They are the first low cost apartments launched since 1960s in Penang! Previously when my great grandma still alive, my mum always brought me to there but now seldom we go there already! Maybe just go once when Chinese New Year to visit my some others relatives.

They are my auntie and uncle. This photo was taken during the visit to my grandmum's sister house which at Rifle Range Flats B block. I used the title as Back To 60's is because I observed for long time and found that the building style in that place was just like the Hong Kong's old style apartments. Do you agree?

A walkway between two block of apartments and the centre of the walkway was like those Hong Kong's old apartments walkway. I found this point just because of after watching the movie I Love Hong Kong! Really classical!

In previous time while 80's or 90's, that place was not many cars as now! That time people just using those public transport but not Rapid Penang and it was Yellow Bus Penang that already closed up for long time.

From this view, you can see that the building was really old. The inner building was dirty and most of the people there were oldies. Although the building old, the structure of building was still strong and even stronger than nowadays buildings! Posted by GenYong 25.02.2011
