the changing life in kampar


The old tin mining town
The images slowly changed
The decades after tin was gone
Kampar has slowly evolved

The old town
Most old houses are gone
Leaving the footprints
In the Kamparians' minds

Even the Battle of Kampar ground
The State government never takes it in
The historical value will be lost
Though a book had been written

The Kampar historian
He fought for the ground
The battle wasn't taken up
He had since passed away

Now the second chances
Kampar has blossomed up quickly
The University and university college
It brings in the many thousands of students

The heart beats hitting
The drumbeats of developments
Nobody can't deny it
Developments surely hit the doors

The latest to join the supermarkets
Econsave opens its doors
Now Kamparians will have choices
Tesco, Giant and Minat

The fast food joints and cafes
The branded shops opened here
Old Town Coffee, Dominoes
Pizza hut, KFC, Mcdonald, 7/11
And now Starbucks

Kampar has grown
The old sleeping town wakes up
Seeing the changing of the old tin mining town
The drumbeats will keep hitting on
