A historic city becomes a little greener


The recycling kiosk at Padang Lintau Manjoi is a collabration between the council and Majuperak Utilities Management Sd Bhd. Such strategic partnerships are helping Ipoh become a low carbon city.

THAT Malay proverb “Sedikit-sedikit, lama-lama jadi bukit” would be a good thing to have in mind when Malaysian cities try to reduce their carbon footprint. It certainly is the little things that are adding up to make a historic city become a little greener.

Ipoh, where the 19th century tin industry put us on the world map even before Malaysia was a country, recently won two awards for its efforts to become a low carbon city.
