the lady on 1:38 is Ah Yoong!!! Former Ding Dong's kuehteow stall waitress, but now she is having affair with Ding Dong, i think she is brave to show her love and can be a good example for ladies! she also the sister of BIAWOK, a famous KOPOK CHUI or KAPEK-HU SAK (steamed fish cake) seller in KayTee. Ah Yong! We support lu, we love KT!

Ding DOng's ex wife caught DDong fall in LOVE with Ah Yoong, she slam the table hard n shout: ancua? ancua eh aneh khuan?..

But Ding DOng hold Yoong's hand tight n say: I.. finally found my LOVE... Please forget me.. N run with Ah Yoong into the rain towards Chua Beo (KayTee Python snake temple) with their hand held tight..

DDong'd wife had already forgotten bout the husband (she dont treat her husband good enough when they are together), but, she never forget d taste of his char kueh teow with sea-harm and Bak iu Pook, so she open up a stall nearby her husband's right next to Aichoo's newspaper stall.

Kampung Cina, a small village, but filled with romance.

Thank you for listening to Mr Tenggalor show, the widest broadcast in Kt.... n even kemaman..... see you again, byez!

An interesting clip despite the lack of audio and the occasional shaky camera-work (perhaps intended to convey a sense of reality). Well-conceived and edited, it captures the atmosphere and mood of a historical location and its residents. The bricks tumbling into the river resulting in a flow of water out into the unseen serves as an allegory of the local history and life-stories of generations of its residents expunged.
