Jalan Sultan Yusuf Heritage Row

Jalan Sultan Yusuf Heritage Row, Ipoh (19 August, 2006)


Jalan Sultan Yusuf Heritage Row (GPS: 4.5963, 101.07708) is a term I gave to a row of shophouses along Jalan Sultan Yusuf, formerly Belfield Street, in Ipoh, approaching the junction with Jalan Dato Sagor. The buildings numbered 128 to 136 are particularly attractive, with stucco embellishments to their façades and elaborate pediments.

One of these buildings was occupied by Jan S.A. Sahib, an Indian Muslim who had come to Malaya from Chennai, India, and became a pillar of the local Indian Muslim community. He served as a trustee of the Indian Muslim Mosque as well as on the Kinta Sanitary Board. Mr Sahib was appointed a J.P. in 1935.

The beautiful row on Jalan Sultan Yusuff has unfortunately seen better times when I photographed it. Since then, I am glad to note that many of these houses have been restored and given a fresh new coat of paint.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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