Ipoh Railway Station
This grand old dame was the brain child of A.B Hubback, the same public work architect that built the KL Railway Station (KLRS). This is why Ipoh railway station shares a similar design with the KL railway station. In fact, it was said that KLRS is the head of railway while IRS is the tail of the railway.
Completed in 1915, IRS remained the symbol and status of Ipoh, being the Hub of Malaya in the colonial days.
This station has an adjoining hotel known as the 'Majestic Station Hotel' of Ipoh on the 2nd and 3rd floor, together with restaurant and a bar at the ground floor.
Some say the IRS is also known as 'Taj Mahal of Ipoh', how true is it?(Scroll back up to the first picture)
