Tai Pee Sim Monastery, Ipoh (19 October, 2018)
Tai Pee Sim Monastery (GPS: 4.58345, 101.09545; Chinese: 大悲心) is a Buddhist monastery in Ipoh, Perak. Comprising a complex of buildings along Jalan Raja Permaisuri Bainun, the monastery traces its beginnings to 1945, when a Buddhist monk by the name of Reverend Seng Seong (姓上) established a Buddhist shrine within a cave in Silibin. Three years later, in 1948, he relocated the shrine to a wooden structure in Kampung Jawa, and it was there that the name Tai Pee Sim, which means "great compassion" was used for the first time.
Reverend Seng Seong relocated Tai Pee Sim again in 1960, to its present site at Jalan Kampar, now known as Jalan Raja Permaisuri Bainun.

About this website
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.
