Did you know that Fukuoka in Japan is a sister city to Ipoh in Perak? We were informed of this interesting fact during a recent media trip to Fukuoka, the largest city on Kyushu island.

This connection between Fukuoka and Ipoh has existed for over 30 years. Since 1988, the Ipoh City Council has maintained a close relationship with Fukuoka city through visits, cultural and sports events, and other interactions.
