SMK Methodist (Anglo-Chinese School), Ipoh

Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Methodist (GPS: 4.59186, 101.07254), also known as Anglo-Chinese School, is the oldest English-language school in Ipoh, Perak. It was founded by a missionary from the American Methodist Episcopal Mission, Reverend W. E. Horley, in 1895. Reverend Horley was an Englishman in an American mission.

The Edwardian-style school building of Anglo-Chinese School on Lahat Road was built in 1912. It was enlarged in 1938 while keeping to the same style. Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Scout movement, visited the school in 1934.

As with many other schools, the Anglo-Chinese School had its classes suspended due to World War II. Classes only resumed 44 months after the start of the Japanese Occupation.

Today Anglo-Chinese School is one of the biggest schools in the Kinta Valley with over two thousand students.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
