Ipoh Padang (23 January, 2011)
Ipoh Padang (GPS: 4.59922, 101.07674) is the playing field at the heart of Ipoh Old Town. Also called the Ipoh Field, it is bordered by Jalan S.P. Seenivasagam in the north and Jalan Sultan Yusuf in the south. Jalan Tun Sambanthan forms part of its southern boundary. On the western side of the field is the Royal Ipoh Club.
Unlike many public fields in the towns of Malaya, which were mostly put up by the administrators for civic activities, the Ipoh Field was created to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The persons instrumental in this were two prominent members of the local society, C.G. Ogivile and G.J. Penny, who was the manager of the Straits Trading Company Batu Gajah. Their initiative received the support from the Chinese mining community, which chipped in with a $43,000 contribution.

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.
