Walk Of Heritage

Ahead, two roads diverged into the city. I steered right and an arch is above me when the statue of Mr. Asia at the other road on the left, stole a look from me. The road on the left is called Kubu Road. It is the statue of His Honourable Datuk Wira Gan Boon Leong, the former Mr. Asia. Read more about the Malaysian Bodybuilding in the Blog, WAY OF LIFE ! Datuk Wira is a Malay titles honouring someone with outstanding achievements. Immediately after passing the arch, the image of Queen Victoria's fountain pop-up in my mind, and knowing very well, her fountain is about 1 kilometer right in front, standing proudly with the Christ Church and the Stadhuy as backgrounds. Queen Victoria was the monarch of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Not forgetting the soft rest the foot against the accelerating pedal of the Malaysian made Proton Wira, the car was further slowed to the swaying of the many nationalists from many parts of the world, who are gazing on every inches of Jonker Walk. All those nationalists are surely devoted to the interests and culture of one's nation, but each time on any other day, as I drove through Jonker Walk ... they gazed with love.
