WOW!! It just amazes me that people from hometown Batu Pahat are working and living all over the world.

The following 2 photos are contributions from Paul Lim who is currently in Mongolia. He happened to surf by this website and saw the Montfort School postings. He wants to share these 2 pictures to the rest of the Montfort Alumni.

He took out his camera and snapped the old photos and sent them in. He notes that Mr Long looks the same in both photos.

So… did you see yourself in the photos? If you in the photo, and want to make contact with Paul Lim, drop me an email, I will connect you to him.

If you like to view the larger photos, visit the Forum Pages.

p/s. If you have not been visiting the Forum, there’s our resident know all person who wants to be known as Tigersden there. He is one of our BP resident staying there and knows lots and lots about BP. Thanks for his contribution to this website.

The following pictures have been contributed by Lim Pei Xin, HSBP batch 1999-2003.

These are pictures of HSBP most likely in the 50s. 70s. (thanks tigersden for the correction) I am sure you can see the familiar buildlings.
Pei Xin managed to get hold of these pictures and have scanned them and emailed them over. Thanks PX!

Shell Petrol Station at corner of Jalan Soga / Jalan Sultanah.

I always wondered…. is this the smallest petrol kiosk in BP? Or the one at Jalan Kluang opp the roundabout?

Here are some more pictures of BP Mall.

Going in the main entrance, you see this:

These pictures were taken during Chinese New Year. Crowds everywhere.

No Starbucks here, but there is authentic Batu Pahat coffee! Rengit Coffee.

If you are thinking, hmm shopping mall, is there a new food court? Yes! Food Junction, the Singapore chain of food court is here.

Someone asked before, what’s Pacific Department Stall? It’s part of “The Store” group which has hypermarts called Pacific and Department stores called “The Store” and “Fajar”.

This is the lower ground hypermarket entrance. Lots of people. Madness.

The upper floors are the Pacific Dept Store. Not suppose to take pictures inside, but outside can right?

Looks like any other modern department stores with all the branded stuff inside.

My buddy Edwin was back in BP recently and was enjoying good old BP Food. He has emailed the pictures to be shared with all. It’s Bak Kut Teh near Wira Court.
