Ipoh (Template:IPAc-en, {{#invoke:IPA|main}}) is the capital city of the Malaysian state of Perak. Located on the Kinta River, it is nearly Template:Convert north of Kuala Lumpur and Template:Convert southeast of George Town in neighbouring Penang.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> As of the 2020 census Ipoh had a population of 759,952, making it the ninth-largest city in Malaysia by population and the fourth most populous state capital, after Johor Bahru, Shah Alam and George Town.

In recent years, Ipoh's popularity as an international tourist destination has been significantly boosted by efforts to conserve its British colonial-era architecture.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /> The city is also well known for its cuisine and natural attractions, such as its limestone hills and caves within which Buddhist temples were built.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Ipoh's location between Kuala Lumpur and George Town has made it a major land transportation hub within West Malaysia, with both the Malayan Railway's West Coast Line and the North-South Expressway cutting through the city. Aside from the land transportation links, Ipoh is also served by the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport.

EtymologyEdit

The name Ipoh is derived from the Malay name of Antiaris toxicaria (pokok ipoh) which grows locally. The sap of this plant, which is poisonous, was mixed with Strychnos latex by Aslians to coat the tips of their blowpipe darts for hunting.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

HistoryEdit

Originally a village, Ipoh began to grow rapidly in the 1880s after huge deposits of tin were discovered within its vicinity.<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Its geographic location in the rich tin-bearing valley of the Kinta River made it a natural centre of growth.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>

The Great Fire of Ipoh in 1892 destroyed over half the town, but also presented an opportunity to rebuild the town in a more orderly grid pattern.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> By 1895, it was the second largest town within the Federated Malay States, which also consisted of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and Pahang.<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Ipoh was subsequently rebuilt in time for the second tin rush and grew rapidly as a result of the booming tin mining industry, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

A local Hakka miner, millionaire Yau Tet Shin, started developing a large tract of the town in the early 1930s, today known as the "New Town", from the eastern bank of the Kinta River to Greentown.<ref name="ipohworld762">Ipohworld’s World » Yau Tet Shin’s New Town Under Construction 1908. Ipohworld.org. Retrieved 27 September 2013.</ref> In 1937, Ipoh was made the capital of Perak, replacing Taiping.

Map of Ipoh, Perak in 1951

Ipoh was invaded by the Japanese on 15 December 1941. In March 1942, the Japanese Civil Administration or Perak Shu Seicho was set up at St. Michael's Institution. After the liberation of Malaya by British forces, Ipoh remained the capital of Perak as it does to this day.<ref>Khoo Salma Nasution & Abdur-Razzaq Lubis, Kinta Valley: Pioneering Malaysia's Modern Development, Ipoh: Perak Academy, 2005. pp. 273–292</ref>

Following the depletion of its tin deposits and the collapse of tin prices in the 1970s, the city suffered decades of decline and neglect.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=":2">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name=":3">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> With the closure of the tin mines, its urban population was forced to seek employment in other cities within Malaysia. In spite of this, Ipoh remains one of the largest cities in Malaysia in terms of population, with tourism now a main driver of the city's economy.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Ipoh gained Municipal status in 1962, and in 1988 it was declared a city by the then Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah.<ref name=":0" />

The city is in the middle of the karstic Kinta Valley region, on the bank of the Kinta River and the confluence of the smaller rivers Sungai Pinji and Sungai Pari. Hills of limestone, called mogotes, surround the city, which can be found around suburban areas to the northeast, east and southeast.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The Keledang mountain range stretches from the north to the west of the city. This range runs parallel to the Bintang mountain range with the Perak River running on its left bank and the Kinta River to its right.

Limestone cavesEdit

Mogotes are the most prominent natural features of the city. There are many caves in these outcrops, some of which have cave temples built in them.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Sam Poh Tong Temple is a notable example, along with Kek Lok Tong; Cavern of Utmost Happiness), which lies on the other side of the same outcrop. It is accessible through the Gunung Rapat housing area. Other cave temples in Ipoh include Ling Sen Tong, Nan Tian Tong, Kwan Yin Tong and Perak Tong.

Gua Tempurung, near Gopeng, south of Ipoh, is a show cave open to the public and popular among spelunkers. More than Template:Convert long, it is one of the longest caves in Peninsular Malaysia. Part of it has been developed with electric lighting and walkways, and there are tours of varying lengths and difficulty. A river passage runs about Template:Convert through the hill. There are five large chambers, filled with spectacular speleothems which include stalactites and stalagmites.

EconomyEdit

{{ safesubst:#invoke:Unsubst||date=__DATE__ |$B= {{ safesubst:#invoke:Unsubst||date=__DATE__ |$B= Template:Ambox }} }} In its early history, Ipoh as a settlement was built around its mining industry,<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> although inferior to that of Gopeng, some Template:Convert to the south. Ipoh was once one of the richest cities in Malaysia<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> and South East Asia, in the days when tin was its major product. During the 1980s, when tin prices collapsed, the economy of Ipoh was affected significantly.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> However, the city has since experienced economic growth. The city of Ipoh hosts the headquarters of several large multinational corporations, such as: Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad, a major palm oil company;<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Batu Kawan Berhad, an investment company which holds the majority share in Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad;<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Hovid Berhad, a major Malaysian pharmaceutical company;<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and Old Town White Coffee (or Old Town Berhad), a food and beverage giant originating from Ipoh which specializes in white coffee.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Other public listed companies in Ipoh include, Perak Transit Berhad, Tasek Cement Berhad, DKLS Industries Berhad, Wellcall Holding Berhad, Rubberex Berhad, and Perak Corp.

RoadsEdit

The old interstate Federal Route 1 connects Ipoh with other major towns and cities in peninsular Malaysia, for example to Alor Setar, Taiping and Penang to the north and Tapah, Kuala Lumpur, Seremban and even Johor Bahru in the south. Motorists from the east coast can use Federal Route 4 (from Gerik) in northern Perak or Federal Route 185 (from Cameron Highlands).

The new North–South Expressway is a faster and more efficient alternative to Route 1. However, some towns such as Kampar can only be accessible via Route 1.

TrainEdit

Ipoh Railway Station

Ipoh's railway station is operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) and is in the Old Town. However, it does not have intra-city travel like there is in Kuala Lumpur; the railway only connects Ipoh with neighbouring towns and cities. The station is a stately building, referred to by locals as the "Taj Mahal of Ipoh". KTM Intercity began the Shuttle Train Service between Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh from 1 December 2008 while the modern Electric Train System (ETS) shuttle began from 12 August 2010, with an average speed of Template:Convert, plying the Ipoh-Seremban route, which cut the travelling distance between Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur to 120 minutes. There are 10 dedicated shuttle train services between these two cities daily, beginning at 5 am from both of the stations. Travel time between the cities was expected to be reduced from three hours to two hours and fifteen minutes when the new set of EMU trains arrived in mid-2009.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
