Forgotten buildings whisper of Perak’s past

Decaying relic: Sungai Pari Towers, a public housing scheme built in 1963, has been left vacant in stages since 2012 due to structural concerns.

IPOH: Scattered across Perak, particularly in Ipoh, are hundreds of abandoned and forgotten buildings that tell quiet stories of a once-thriving past.

Now overgrown with vines or crumbling facades, these structures have become unexpected magnets for photographs, film producers and history buffs.
