1 A Conversation With: HOOI KOK SENG Fish and Vegetable Seller Ipoh, 12 October 2005

2 Presented By: The Background to this Conversation The exchange of wotds of which the following pages are a summary, took place quite by accident. It just so happened that I was driving past the Syuen Hotel when I saw this rather amusing little vehicle pottering along with vegetables apparently sprout\ing from it. As they say, Curiosity kills the cat and being curious I followed it. Then, suddenly it pulled into the side of the road and as I shot past I started to look for a parking space. There were none. Eventually I was out of sight of this unusual contraption. Nonetheless, having found a parking space I galloped back to where he had last been seen and there he was. Consequently the conversation was somewhat stinted - me out of breath and he almost too busy to talk to me. But for the next 40 minutes or so we did manage a few words which I laboriously recorded. Without doubt a friendly and kind man he gave me permission to use his story for ipohworld - and here it is. 12 October 2005 Ian Anderson 2012 Ipoh World Sdn. Bhd., Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia All rights reserved.

3 HOOI KOK SENG Fish and Vegetable Seller Born in 1929 (now aged 76), Hooi Kok Seng has been selling vegetables around Ipoh town and surrounding housing areas for the past 42 years. He started on a bicycle, but after two years he bought this Daihatsu Midget three-wheeled pick-up in 1965 in Ipoh. It still carries its original 1965 registration number AG Imported from Japan, these vehicles did not gain a lot of popularity with local people and consequently as far as we can establish, this is the only one left in Ipoh and perhaps Malaysia. However in Japan it became Daihatsu s best selling model. Daihatsu have always promoted compact cars and in 1957 designed and manufactured their first three wheeled Midget model which most people will immediately recognise as the traditional and world-famous Bangkok Tuk Tuk. Based on a two stroke engine with one wheel at the front and two at the rear and steered by motorcycle-like handlebars, this first-generation Midget exploded into popularity when it was first featured on a TV program and soon became popular in many places around the world, particularly India where it is manufactured and known as the Bajaj. In Japan it became it became Daihatsu s best selling model almost overnight. The unprecedented success of their first Midget led Daihatsu to expand and diversify the range and a number of different variants were produced to meet the specialist needs of the commercial world. Kok Seng s Medium Duty Pick-Up as it was advertised (now identified world-wide as a Classic vehicle) was the latest in the range when he bought it and as the last design in the series (1963) it was unique, as it was the first and only Midget model to feature a normal steering wheel and floor mounted gear shift, similar to the traditional motor car. It was known as the Midget Model MP5. Today, 40 years later, Daihatsu still feature the Midget II, said to have three times the power of their first range.

4 But there is another story about Malaysia, Perak and the Daihatsu Midget that relates to a government-conducted study, in 1979, to determine if similar three-wheeled vehicles (Tuk Tuk s) should be brought in to replace the pedaled trishaw in Perak, but despite support from the Ipoh Trishaw Driver s Association, the project was rejected as unsuitable. Then in 1987 the Trishaw Association Chairman appealed for the government to reconsider their decision. Subsequently, as reported in the national press, International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz stated that Parliament would discuss the introduction of motorised trishaws in July and as they were not included in the 1985 Transport Regulations these would need to be amended to include them under the same grading as Taxi. However for reasons unknown, the motor trishaw project never came to fruition. Hooi Kok Seng s tricycle van as it is often called, is therefore very much a relic of Malaysia s past. Kok Seng has a regular daily routine from Monday to Friday. Early in the morning he leaves his home in Pasir Pinji, Ipoh and drives the short distance out to Falim Market. Here he buys his fresh vegetables and fish and is back in Ipoh for breakfast and to start his daily round. He has fixed points and I caught him at Persiaran Greenhill where he serves his regular customers every Wednesday from 8.00 to 8.50am. Then he is off to his next location to continue his day s work. Fresh Fish is on the Menu Today Note the Tray of Vegetables on the Roof A popular vendor, with regular customers at all his sales points, Kok Seng is well known to his clientele and has a friendly word for them all. Customers select their own vegetables and fish and he serves them all with a smile. By necessity this was a short conversation as he was dealing with his customers at the same time. However this was a rather special thing to do as it brought the whole scene to life - how he is not just a seller of food, but more important he is a friend to everyone he sees - even me, the stranger who chased him down the street until he stopped! One wonders how long it will be before this unique Ipoh vehicle disappears from Ipoh s streets for ever.

5 And the Customers Came Just Arrived - They will be here soon. And they Came I d like that one. What s under here? Now It s Busy Time to Move On - Customers are Waiting
