SLC Tyres is an automobile tyre shop in Bukit Mertajam but they have been allowing the Penang Chess Association to use its premises for chess competitions on the mainland. It's quite a decent-sized premises of about three storeys high. Lately, it has been trying to promote itself as an auto academy, one which provides technical training to people in the automobile industry.
The interior of the building is quite spacious. The ground floor is, of course, meant for the servicing of cars but once you go upstairs, there are training rooms (SLC calls them classrooms), a recreation hallway with ping-pong tables, a cafeteria and a multi-purpose hall with a stage and even a lounge room for people to watch television. The directors of this joint have ambitions. I wish them well.
The railway track from Bukit Mertajam to Butterworth runs a distance behind the building. I've never been so close to a track before. Certainly not while a train is trundling past. The cargo train was moving quite slow so I took the opportunity to snap this shot. Perhaps I shouldn't do it again, whether or not it's a slow train to the coast because accidents can happen. Like a derailment. I wouldn't want to be there when it happens....
Anyway, since I was already there, I've always wanted to take a picture of the railway track. Nice perspective: the track disappearing into the distance. But this is not quite the vanishing point that I want, unfortunately.
