Kampar

Kampar was established in 1887.
The name Kampar was derived from the Cantonese words "kam pou" 金宝, which means 'precious gold'. This refers to the town's previously large tin reserves.
It is a small town situated in the southern half of Perak, West Malaysia.
Kampar had its share of bloodbath during the Japanese Occupation in 1941 to 1945. Between 30 December 1941 to 2 January 1942, a battle between 3000 British personnel and over 6000 Japanese soldiers erupted. This battle is vividly documented and highlighted by famous Kampar historian, Chye Kooi Loong.
It is also one of the great tin-mining townships in Malaysia at '70s. Now it is the home to newly constructed University of Tunku Abdul Rahman(UTAR). Well known for its delicious food such as "Chicken Biscuit","Curry Chicken Bread" !!

    Why isn't it call De La Salle primary school? I was a student there for six years until 1972. It is not even on the map. That is terrible.
