Former Warta Kinta Newspaper office

Warta Kinta Office, IpohWarta 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.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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