Attention turns to Ipoh as a property hotspot

Tiew says the improved connectivity to Ipoh is one of the reasons the town has potential as a promising property market.

Ipoh is famed for many things. Flat rice noodles, Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh, verdant limestone mastiffs, and its rich mining past, among other things.

It was also known as Mercedes-Benz territory because between the 1950s and late 1990s a two-storey high illuminated sign of a three-pointed star in Gunung Rapat lit up in blue at night, welcoming all who came to Ipoh.
