Concrete and wooden houses in Sibu. I believe the wooden ones were built before the 2nd World War while the concrete ones were built around 1960's (correct me if I am wrong). Some of the wooden houses soon made way for the concrete houses though some remain as "leftovers" from another era. Such houses were found in Tiong Hua Rd, Tong Sang Rd, Bukit Assek Rd, Huo Ping Rd, Emplam Lane, etc. I wonder who or which architect designs the concrete houses. It was simple and tasteless but somehow practical for that time. Each unit is divided into ground floor and upper floor (two families -one upstair and one downstair but occasionally rooms were rented out and there could be more than one family at any one time).Of course, today houses are with better designs.
Perhaps the authority should redevelop the Tong Sang Rd-Tiong Hua Rd-Emplam Lane-Huo Ping Lane-Bukit Assek-Moi Huong Rd as part of urban renewal project to regenerate and rejuvenate the area from turning into an inner city.
