UTC Perak

UTC Perak, Ipoh (10 March, 2018)


UTC Perak (GPS: 4.59578, 101.08219) is a one-stop centre housing various government departments and statutory agencies in Ipoh, Perak. It is housed in the building of the Ipoh Central Market, which is bordered by Jalan Foo Choo Choon to the north, Jalan Datuk Onn Jaafar (Cockman Street) to the east, Tingkat Pasar to the south, and Jalan Laxamana to the west. The main market building is a three-storey structure with a pedestrian bridge across Jalan Datuk Onn Jaafar. It used to house the Super Kinta Departmental Store on its 2nd floor, until the premises was taken over by UTC Perak.

UTC Perak began operations on 2 January, 2013. It was officially launched by the prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on 15 February, 2013. This is the third largest UTC complex after UTC Malacca and UTC Kuala Lumpur.

Located within an older, separate building adjacent to the Ipoh Central Market complex is the meat market. Within easy distance from the Central Market is the Ipoh McDonald's outlet at Jalan Datuk Onn Jaafar, and the main hawker centre at Kompleks Yik Foong.

The market has been renovated and is now called UTC Ipoh (Urban Transformasion Centre).

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
