Tang Yimin(唐逸民) founded the Happy Theater(快乐戏院) in 1955, which was located on Gurney Road and officially opened on May 5th of that year. On the opening day, the then-district chief of Kuala Pilah was specially invited to preside over the opening ceremony, making it a grand event in Bahau at that time.

There is an open space next to Gem Cinema that is used as a parking lot and there are vendors selling various noodles along the road.
It was once rented and converted into a shopping mall in Bahau.
Today, the area has developed into a busy shophouse, and a hotel operates above the building that houses the Gem Cinema.

The Thai restaurant in front of Ban shun Department Store (also known as Little Genting) was once a police station. The historical transformation of this place could be quite intriguing, going from a law enforcement agency in the past to its current role as a culinary destination. This shift is not only impressive but also allows people to savor delicious Thai cuisine while imagining and experiencing the place's history. This historical backdrop likely gives this restaurant a unique charm, enabling diners to feel the passage of time and the evolution of the city as they enjoy their meal.
