Photo of three policemen on patrol (1983).

To the left of this photo formerly was rows of wooden police barrack and later demolished and paved ways for the present new building of the Sri Temin Complex. My father was a special branch police detective, and at this police barrack I was stationed and raised in the 1950's. There's wasn't much playground around at that time and the clock tower surroundings were once chosen of our childhood play center of hide and seek. The shop corridors of Jalan Ibrahim was for the 100meters race track...what a childhood days!

The south bound track of the old  Sungai Petani railway station, another  place to  remember and  also childhood  playground because it was only a stone throw to our living quarters, the police barrack. I still remember the railway gate keeper Mr.Wak Adenan, and the station master Mr Singh. I met him and seek his opinion on how to become a train driver. He smiled away, and in 1969 I my application was accepted by the KTM the office of Malayan Railway, Kuala Lumpur requesting for the apprenticship training at Sentul workshop. I did not turned up for the training as I was discouraged by him. I later learned that most apprentices became train engineers after several years of training.
