Kin Kwok Daily News Building

Kin Kwok Daily News Building is a historic building in Ipoh. Located at 21 Jalan Panglima, it served as the premises of the Kin Kwok Daily News, a Chinese language newspaper founded in Ipoh.

The newspaper is anti-communist and pro-Kuomintang in its views, and as a result, attracted the first grenade attack by Communist terrorists in Ipoh. On 1 October 1949, members of the Kepayang Gang threw grenades into the office building. The ensuing explosion counted a reporter as casualty and another four were injured.

As of April 2014, the building houses Restoran Sin Lean Lee, a Chinese coffee shop.
