On the sidelines of the reunion, Brownie Peter Pak who was at Bukit Brown to lead a tour was chuffed to come face to face with someone he had admired for a long time<\/p>\n

“Today I am fortunate and honored to have met Khoo Salma (in the middle) who came down all the way from Penang to visit Bukit Brown. She is the President of the Penang Trust, owner of publishing company Areca Books and author of many many heritage books, which some I own & have read: Kinta Valley, Raja Bilah and the Mandailings in Perak,Streets of George Town, Penang. ” (<\/em>Peter Pak)<\/p>\n
