Church of St John the Divine (GPS: 4.6015, 101.07587) is the main Anglican chuch in Ipoh, Perak. Known informally as St John's Church, it is located at St John's Road, a minor road off Jalan Panglima Bukit Gantang Wahab, across from the St Michael's Institution. St John's Church building was completed in 1912, under the leadership of Reverend J.P. Parry. It has a knave measuring 72 ft long. During the Japanese Occupation of Second World War, there was religious suppression. The church was forcefully converted into a noodle factory.

After the war, it reverted to being a place of worship. John Hayter was instrumental in the abolishment of the chaplaincy system and the establishment of the parochial church council in 1947 where the various ethnic communities, including the Europeans, Tamils land Chinese have a representation.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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