Very interesting. It certainly was in operation for a long time. Looks so empty and desolate now.

wow those are pretty amazing pictures
November 14th, 2007 at 9:17 pm
Wow. Such a place! And very deserted. What a sad place.

Okay, you’re so being nasty to me!! I can’t even imagine having NEVER seen snow. It’s just so not fair! I’d send you some if I could — goodness knows we’ve got plenty to spare by the time the new year rolls around!! Maybe a home exchange for a couple of months….

Valley girl: I told you. It’s hot in Malaysia. 365 days with an average of 30 degree Celsius. Hoo! Hoo!
November 14th, 2007 at 11:27 pm
The ruins looks scary to me. There has got to be little bloodsuckers or something lurking in the shadows. Hehehe.
What happened? There’s a story to that… I’m sure.
November 15th, 2007 at 2:41 am
I don’t think I really know what I’m looking at… OH well, Happy WW
November 15th, 2007 at 5:00 am
What a mess they left behind. Very interesting photos though.
November 15th, 2007 at 6:42 am
They certainly left a mess there. It’s a pity that companies are not made to clear up after they move out of somewhere.
November 15th, 2007 at 12:07 pm
What happened here? Is it totally abandoned now?
I’ve been to Pahang, in Kuala Lipis, years ago. We went jungle trekking and it was so beautiful there!
November 15th, 2007 at 5:32 pm
totally ruined! they should have clean the place up! What a bunch of…

I wonder what happened to PCCL after it closed? Did it get registered to a new company. I remember my aunt purchasing shares of PCCL only to see it get burnt.
