Ipoh Heritage Trail map two and Ipoh

We have yet to have commitment from Datok Bandar to preserve the old buildings of Old Town.


YB Dato Hamidah has even gone to the press in her efforts to get some reaction from him, alas to no avail.

Map two covering Kampong Kuchai area will be launched in November by YB.

Work is underway to preserve Forest Lodge. Calendar of events for 2011 and 2012 are being drawn up and should be completed by middle of October.

The problem is all these efforts will be of no use if all the buildings are gone…..

Saving KNP

How are we going to Save Kinta Nature Park when we don't even have a workable plan to maintain and secure the place?

YB Hamidah like most of us really does love this beautiful heronry of ours. We have finally managed to get rid of the illegal sand miners and the bee-eaters are slowly coming back to nest.

Unfortunately the duck farm is still on the main lake disturbing the heronry. The resulting worsening of the water quality of the lake as a result of this farm has resulted in a drastic fall in the number of herons roosting on the island.

The illegal fish farm that has yet to be removed has not help matter either.
