This is an old photo which I received from Mahadhir Mohamad. It is about Hj Rahim and Abdullah going to Makkah. This photo was dated 21 March 1957. It was taken in front of the 302 Banda Hilir house in Malacca. The 1957 photo shows the two men leaving the grounds of 302 Banda Hilir. They were headed to the bus station at Semabok junction.
Gambar yg saya attach kan itu diambil pd 21.3.57. Dibelakang gambar tersebut bertulis "hari pemergian Hj Rahim dan Abdullah ke Mecca. Diambil dihadapan rumah 302 Banda Hilir semasa hendak pergi ke tempat bus di simpang semabok".

| Photo of 21 March 1957. Here, there is an arch with thatched roof, 2 huge brick columns, and high perimeter walls on both sides of the two brick columns. There is a house with thatched roof in the background, beyond the two columns. |
Travel route from Melaka to Klang
Haji Rahim and Abdullah probably travelled from 302 Banda Hilir to the Semabok intersection, taken a bus there to the central bus station in Melaka, and from there to Tampin to Seremban to Kajang and KL, and finally reaching Klang. In 1957, the Hajj pilgrimage ships docked at Port Swettenham (now Port Klang).
