LIDO CINEMA- Taiping
Another Iconic Landmark to be Demolished
Lido cinema was built by the Shaw Bros. in 1937. Very soon this iconic landmark will be lost.It was a great entertainment centre for young and old, all races and religions during its heyday.
The screening of movies stopped some 20 years ago. Internal renovations took place to suit the business activities, from video games to restaurants and karaoke. But the facade remained intact.
Now the whole place is barricaded and a sign board indicating the development of the site has been put up, According to sources the building will be demolished and in its place a new 2 storey office complex will be built.
