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

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
