Introduction
A history-cum-geography buff from young, I regularly research, explore, take pictures and write on little known or forgotten sites, events and people based locally or abroad. I hope my humble contributions in this area will ensure that their memories are not forgotten by future generations, especially in our ever changing and highly urbanised world. Also, certain individuals and organisations are mentioned, which I hope their charitable acts or achievements can help to inspire readers to learn and pursue similar interests in the future.
I welcome and will only respond to
