It belongs to Len Chee Omnibus Co. Ltd (later Sdn, Bhd). The bus route no. is 176 from Kuala Lumpur (Jalan Ampang) to Ampang Town (12km from Kuala Lumpur). Model no. Seddon mk. 17. Many bus operators in Malaya & Singapore (later Malaysia)in the 50s, 60s & 70s use this type of bus. -- Last edit: 2014-06-14 02:05:13
