Warta Kinta Office, Ipoh (19 August, 2006)
This rather run-down row of shophouses (GPS: 4.58976, 101.07766) along Jalan Datoh in Ipoh used to be the premises of Warta Kinta, a Malay-language newspaper that was published in Ipoh in the early part of the 20th century. The newspaper, originally printed in Jawi, was the first Malay-language newspaper within the Federated Malay States.
The row of shophouses along Jalan Datoh was also occupied by the Persatuan Melayu Perak as well as several other Malay organisations. When I photographed it in 2006, it was already run down, and it is no better on Google Street View in 2014.
