Old Uncle with Coffee Cup Mural (GPS: 4.59798, 101.07618) is a street mural in Ipoh, Perak. It is located on Jalan Tun Sambanthan, across from the Ipoh Tourist Information Centre.
After this mural was completed, it attracted a rather strange outcry from some narrow-minded people who claimed that the subject resembles Malayan Communist Party leader, the late Chin Peng. In fact, the person in that mural is not Chin Peng, but a local, albeit from Penang.
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.
