Ipoh
Ipoh is the
capital city of the state of Perak, Malaysia and also one of the
largest cities in the country. It is approximately 200 km (120 mi)
north of Kuala Lumpur and 130 km (81 mi) south of Penang on the
North-South Expressway.
It is bordered by Batu Gajah in the west, Cameron Highlands in the
east and Simpang Pulai in the south.
The so-called New Town, to the east of the Kinta River, was
developed by Yau Tet Shin around 1908. The New Town houses the Perak
Medical University and Ipoh City Hall building, among others. There
are numerous shops, shopping malls, and hotels.
D. R. Seenivasagam Park (Coronation Park), located in the heart of
Ipoh (New Town), is known for its scenic beauty and recreational
facilities. It comprises recreational fields, an artificial lake
filled with fish, a nursery for potted plants and a children's
traffic playground. The latest addition is the newly landscaped
Japanese garden featuring a Japanese carp pond.
The name Ipoh is derived from a local tree, Pohon Epu or now more
commonly known as Pokok Ipoh. The sap of this plant is poisonous and
was used by Orang Asli (indigenous peoples in Malay) to coat the
tips of the darts of their blowpipes for hunting.
