This picture was taken in Penang's War Museum several weeks ago. The museum is not like a big gallery of historical items but its the actual site itself meaning you're going to a place that real history occured.
There are two wooden rice pounders in the picture that was used by British prisoners of war to prepare breakfast during the World War II in the Japanese invasion in Malaysia.
In the picture is a kitchen in a British made barrack in Batu Maung,Penang. It is a defense base against marine military threat but unfortunately the Japanese managed to take over it by land attacks.

What a superb shot. I love the composition. I can only imagine what hardship the POWs faced. I can imagine the Japanese treatment of the civilian population was not much better. Thanks for sharing. Happy weekend
An amazing shot this is indeed, and a great post, thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend!
Interesting rice pounders, it's good to have museums around. Educational ground for kids to learn about the past and remind them how lucky they are now!!
Cool shot Yuan! I was there for my Insight Penang post but I did not go into the interior.
