When my husband Shafee was transferred from Teluk Datuk to Kuala Lumpur on 11 June 1969, we first rented a lovely single-story house at Jalan Liew Wen Chee, off Jalan Yap Kuan Seng, which was very near my parents’ house at Jalan Mayang.
It was just a short stay, as in early 1970, Shafee was allocated a government house at Jalan Ampang Hilir. We stayed there for ten years. Jalan Ampang Hilir was a tranquil neighbourhood known for its government quarters, home to many government officials and their families, providing a sense of community and stability amidst the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
