NO one could be prouder than Ipoh folk themselves when American newspaper The New York Times lauded that this city was becoming Malaysia’s hippest destination.

With the headlines clearly written in the daily’s Travel section: “Why Ipoh, Malaysia, Should Be on Your Travel Radar,” it was surely a moment worth beaming over for its citizens both young and old.
