Chua Cheng Bok Building, IpohChua Cheng Bok Building, Ipoh (19 August, 2006)


Chua Cheng Bok Building is a beautiful heritage building at No. 94, Jalan Sultan Idris Shah (formerly Brewster Road) in Ipoh. It was built in the 1930's in the Art Deco style. The original owner, early 20th century tycoon Chua Cheng Bok, was the founder of the popular auto firm Cycle & Carriage, which opened its first branch in Ipoh in 1906. He was also the builder to the Coliseum and Bok House in Kuala Lumpur.

During the post-war years, Chua Cheng Bok Building housed several British and American trading companies including William Jacks, AIA, United Press Association and Sime Darby.

Today a Malay restaurant, Restoran Semenanjung, occupies the ground floor of the historical building. Other than that, the rest of the building appears to be vacant.

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.
