Ipoh Railway Station

Last few month. I went down to Ipoh to cover the Malay engagement ceremony. Here and Here. Manage to drop buy to one of the famous Ipoh landmark, Ipoh KTM (Kereta Api Tanah Melayu)

The Ipoh railway station is a Malaysian train station located at the south-western side of and named after the capital city of Ipoh, Perak. It serves as the main railway terminal for the state. It is owned by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad, and offers KTM Intercity services, as well as handling freight trains.

Designed by Arthur Benison Hubback, it was first constructed and opened in 1935, making it the second concrete station to be constructed in the town. The building also houses the hotel called the Majestic Hotel. Affectionately known as the Taj Mahal of Ipoh by its locals, it closely resembles its Kuala Lumpur sister.

Kuching Mosque

IMG_1351
This is the Kuching mosque, completed in 1968. Until the new mosque was built in Petra Jaya, the Kuching Mosque was also the official Sarawak State Mosque. It is located on the site of an earlier wooden mosque built in 1852.

The grounds are surrounded by a Muslim cemetery. The domed ceiling of the interior of the mosque is worth a look. It has recently been repainted in totally different colours, giving the mosque an entirely new look. Good views of the mosque can be seen from the pedestrian bridge connecting to the mosque.

As you walk towards the western end of Kuching centre, you won’t be able to miss the imposing mosque with its gilded cupolas that rise above the city’s skyline.
