Bernard, thank you for your kind words. My 7 yr old son would like to see the grandfather clocks. While at the gate he asked where were the “grandmother” clocks and the “father” clocks? Kids say the darnedest things!

We’ll be there this Saturday again.

Congratulations to all those people in Muzium Gopeng especially Bernard Yaw , Mr Phang and Ms Chew for their dedication and effort.

Gopeng can now boost of the Muzium and its eco-tourism products (Caves, jungles, water rafting, rafflesia, orang asli lifestyle,etc.)

Another complementary tourism product from Gopeng is the traditional lifestyle of the kampung people in Kg Sg Itek and Kg Pintu Padang notably their homestay programme .
You can observe and experience their “Rawa Malay” culture and tradition with local Malay handicrafts and unique dessert like the “Kemalai”, etc. You can buy the crafts at Kg Pintu Padang. The community there is upbeat to promote their traditions.

Hope more people or the respective communities in Gopeng can be encouraged to promote Gopeng’s potential. Among them like the ornamental fish farms, fruits ,etc.Perhaps some seasonal exhibitions and festivals in Gopeng.

Cheers
David Foon

Aaron, do have a look at http://www.ipohworld.org/blog/?p=1279# for there you will get an idea of the wide range of clocks on show. I am sure that you will then go back to see them properly and be glad you did.

Dear Mr. Ong,

Our many apologises for yours and your son’s disappointment on that day. It should have opened on the 20th since it is Saturday. I suspect Mr. Phang and Ms. Chew Wan, must have gone out for family meals considering it was still Chinese New Year. I commend them for working on the Wednesday and Thurs when alot of visitors came back to Gopeng for their CNY celebration. The opening hours were obviously quite erratic during this busy holidays.

In the future, you may call Mr. Phang directly at +60175785185 for another appointment.

Once again, our many apologises.

Best regards,

Bernard Yaw

CNY has got everyone in a festive mood. No wonder the museum doors are closed. No fault of the owner, Bernard Yaw. Try again next week, Aaron.

Cheers.

Went there this afternoon about 12pm. Was surprised and sad to find it closed though a sign beside the collapsible gate says that it only closes on Weds and Thurs only. Even loitering for 30 minutes did not help as no one opened the gate. My son was quite disappointed not to see the grandfather clocks up close.
