Gopeng residents want to keep landmark pre-war pipeline

IPOH: Gopeng residents are planning a last-ditch effort to preserve the remnants of a century-old pipeline as the town’s landmark.

Muzium Gopeng ad hoc management committee secretary Phang See Kong said the residents want to appeal to Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim to retain the last 1.6km stretch of the pipeline, part of which was erected above the Gopeng-Kampar trunk road.
