Not “Bougainvillea City” or by any other slogans. On May 27 Ipoh will celebrate its 22nd anniversary as a city. But it is sad that through all those years nothing seems to have been done to reflect its glorious past as the centre of the tin mining industry which had been so significant in the economic development of the country. The tin mining industry has since collapsed; the history of the city will also slowly fade away and be forgotten.

  • George Town Or Georgetown , Is the Capital of the State of Penang In
    George Town[1] or Georgetown[2], is the capital of the state of Penang in Malaysia. Named after Britain's King George III, George Town is located on the north-east corner of Penang Island and has about 220,000 inhabitants, or about 400,000 including the suburbs. Formerly a municipality and then a city in its own right, since 1976 George Town has been part of the municipality of Penang Island, though the area formerly governed by the city council is still commonly referred to as a city, and is also known as Tanjung ("The Cape") in Malay and 喬治市 (Qiáozhì Shì) in Chinese. [edit]History George Town was founded in 1786 by Captain Francis Light, a trader for the British East India Company, as base for the company in the Malay States. He obtained the island of Penang from the Sultan of Kedah and built Fort Cornwallis on the north-eastern corner of the island. The fort became the nexus of a growing trading post and the island's population reached 12,000 by 1804. The town was built on swampy land that had to be cleared of vegetation, levelled and filled. The original commercial town was laid out between Light Street, Beach Street (then running close to the seashore), Malabar Street (subsequently called Chulia Street) and Pitt Street (now called Masjid Kapitan Keling Street). The warehouses and godowns extended from Beach Street to the sea. By the 1880s, there were ghauts leading from Beach Street to the wharf and jetties as Beach Street receded inland due to land reclamation.

  • Our First Foundation in Ipoh, Malaysia
    FRANCISCAN MISSIONARIES OF THE DIVINE MOTHERHOOD (FMDM) OUR FIRST FOUNDATION IN IPOH, MALAYSIA It began in 1960 when Mr Foo Yet Kai, an Ipoh tin-miner well-known as a philanthropist, hearing that FMDM Sisters wish to extend their work to the Federation when opportunity arose, offered as a gift a magnificent Chinese mansion set in four acres of lawns and gardens (see picture below). Sadly, Mr Foo Yet Kai met an untimely death in 1961, but his son, Mr Foo Wan Thot, honouring his father’s intention, transferred the property to us on Saint Patrick’s Day 1962. The Straits Times (SINGAPORE) - 23 August 1963, Page 5 New hospital for Ipoh IPOH, Thurs — A new 32-bed private hospital in Chung Thye Phin Road here, run by the Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood will be ready for use next month. The first mission hospital in Perak, it will be named Our Lady’s Hospital. Naturally, despite the spaciousness, the lovely wide corridors, patterned mosaic floors and cool verandahs, there was considerable work to be done interiorly to adapt the mansion for use as a Hospital. The transformation was completer, however, for the Opening Day of Our Lady’s Hospital, on 6th April 1965. The Ceremony, performed by Madam Foo, included the unveiling of a sculptured bust ensconced in a Memorial Pavilion, of Madam Foo’s late husband, Mr Foo Yet Kai. Bishop Chan of Penang was present to bless the proceedings. Our Lady’s Hospital Initially, Our Lady’s Hospital, ringed by the blue-green limestone hills of Ipoh, had 32 beds and served mainly maternity, medical and paediatric patients.
