Masjid Sultan Idris Shah II (GPS: 4.59617, 101.07578) is the state mosque of Perak. It is located in downtown Ipoh, occupying the city block bounded on the north side by Jalan Dato Sagor and the south side by Jalan Sultan Iskandar, on which the main entrance is located.

Construction of Masjid Sultan Idris Shah II began on 16 May, 1966. However, the idea to build it goes back much earlier to 1951, when it was hatched by the Menteri Besar, Orang Kaya-Kaya Panglima Bukit Gantang Seri Amar Diraja Abdul Wahab. The late Tun Abdul Razak, second Prime Minister of Malaysia, laid the foundation stone of the mosque on 27 October, 1967. Masjid Sultan Idris Shah II was completed on 26 August, 1968 at a cost of RM1.84 million.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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