Construction of car park will not affect 100-year-old dhoby, says Ipoh City Council


IPOH: The construction of a carpark by Wesley Methodist School Ipoh (International) will proceed without affecting the operations of a 100-year-old traditional dhoby on Jalan Sibilin, says Ipoh City Council secretary Ahmad Munir Ishak.

This comes after the dhoby raised concerns about the 0.14 ha area that will be taken up by the parking lot, as it has been using it for drying clothes.
