In addition to old items, he is also interested in collecting souvenirs in the form of cups, plates and so on that are given in conjunction with an event. For him, although it seems trivial, it may be of historical value in the future. Among the most valuable souvenirs for him is the cup he got during the inauguration of the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in 1958. His house also often receives visits from visitors who want to know about the old items that were used by the people of Kampung Ayer. [6]
