Old buildings recall Ipoh’s vibrant past

The Foong Seong building was built by a rich miner. The upper floors are now unoccupied.

SEVERAL heritage buildings located in Ipoh should be preserved, refurbished and turned into tourist destinations, a heritage advocate has said.

Non-governmental organisation (NGO) Ipoh City Watch president Professor Richard Ng said there were several iconic buildings, some unoccupied and some used as business premises, that were not being maintained properly.
