This is a prewar Shell petrol kiosk. A mix of Art Deco style in the windows and doors,
and some traditional Malayan flair in the roof, including a "Kayu tunjuk langit", which is
a short pole at the apex of the roof to signify spiritual strength.
As far as I know this may be the only kiosk of this type left in Malaysia. It has the potential
to be a nice small and affordable little restoration project, but with such little interest in
conservation and history out here, its future prospects don't look good.
The doors and windows were locked up tight, but a hole in one of the windows allowed
for an arm and camera to be poked through to capture some interior shots.
