The SPH de Silva Building (GPS: 4.597123, 101.077325) is a jeweller housed in a handsome Victorian neo-Renaissance building in Ipoh. Although much of the building is on Jalan Sultan Yusuf, the address of SPH de Silva is 43 Station Road (Jalan Dato Maharajalela).
The SPH de Silva Building was constructed in 1931. It is located along Belfield Street, nowadays known as Jalan Sultan Yusuff. In the 1950s, SPH de Silva has an outlet here selling tropies, cups, shields and medals. It is one of the heritage buildings in Ipoh. Since the time I photographed it, the building has undergone restoration work to bring back its former glory.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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