Sungai Siput (u) Perak-(Part 1)

I was at Sungai Siput (u) Perak during the Chinese New Year. Sungai Siput is always booming in property sector. Although it only have 1 main road, the development of the property is really amazing. You can find any prize of property range from RM 65,000 to RM 400,000 (Semi-detached bungalow - 40 x 80).
It is a tradition for those working outstation busy having market survey during the new year and mostlt place booking before went of back to work. My developer friends once told me that normally 70% housing & property are sold during these few Chinese New Year! Balance normally bring forward to next year CNY!!! So quiet convenience hah... YOu develop a housing project and sold it 5 days in a years.
Here some Sungai Siput photo i want to share with you all.
Most of Perak Landscaping are flat and surrounded by mountain.

From Ipoh to Sungai Siput, you will see this large cement factory at left. Last time it been called APMC now they called Lafarge. The factory been existed before I was born.I always remember it as almost yearly or twice a year, the worker will stage protest for better wage. In Sungai Siput, there are only 2 group of people protesting in street; Rubber Tapper worker and this cement factory worker
Ladang Dovenby is another very successfull government project in "Bio-ternak". In my memory there are two very successfull government project in Sungai siput. First is Ladang Dovenby, it started from very small scale projec till now it is a huge commercial breeding & experiment center. Second was the Pusat Giat MARA, It started under the tree with just a very small hut was built. Now it has it own 3-4 storey building and been very acceptable from the community.
