The Ipoh Cenotaph (18 September, 2005)
Ipoh Cenotaph (GPS: 4.59756, 101.07428) commemorates those who died in the first and second World Wars. It is one of many cenotaphs erected by the British following the first world war, and you can find them in most of the major towns in Malaya, including Singapore. Following the second World War, amendments were made to the Cenotaph to incorporate a mention of those who died in it as well, and later on, some of these cenotaphs also carry a mention of the Emergency.
The Ipoh Cenotaph is located at Station Square, right in front of the Ipoh Railway Station. There is a black plastic plate on the Cenotaph (it was originally of brass) with the words, "Memorial to the dead of the two world wars. Sacred to the memory of the men from the state of Perak who fell in the Great War. 1914-1918. And those who died in the 1939-45 war."
The Ipoh Cenotaph at night (7 August, 2004)The Ipoh Cenotaph originally had four brass plates, one on each side, listing out the names of soldiers from Perak who died during World War I. One of these faces list the names of soldiers from the Perak State Guides. In 1985 all but the main plate was removed, but after the main plate was restored, it was installed on a different side, which the other faces now commemorate subsequent wars fought from 1945 to 1960.

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.
