With him are (from left) Perak Non-Islamic Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon, Toh and Dr Tan, as well as Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman Institute of Chinese Studies Dean Dr Chong Siou Wei.

THE public can now turn to a book to learn about the history and legends of all the cave temples around Ipoh.

Cave temples have long been hailed as some of Perak’s most interesting tourist destinations, but there was never a proper resource documenting their numbers and history until today.
