Tourism Malaysia: Welcome to Perak


As you leave the busy hub of Selangor and head north towards Perak, the character of the land changes from an urban profile to a scenic, undulating countryside. Here and there, you will glimpse pleasant plots of farmland, palm oil and rubber plantations. The magnificent view is set against a background of green jungle and jagged limestone hills.

Covering some 21,000 sq. km., Perak lies between Kedah in the north and Selangor to the south. The Main Range mountains cut across the state of Perak, standing in dramatic juxtaposition to the flat, steaming plains of the western coastline.

Often referred to as 'The Land of Grace' for its laid-back, timeless beauty.

Perak is divided into nine districts.


Each district has its own characteristic beauty and history, and tourist attractions. that include old-style Anglo-Malay and Chinese mansions, colonial buildings, ancient limestone caves, temples and cool hill stations such as the Bukit Larut (Maxwell Hill) station.

Its major towns include lpoh, Kuala Kangsar, Taiping, Teluk lntan and Lumut, Kuala Kangsar is the royal town of Perak, while lpoh is the administrative centre and state capital.

For centuries, Perak was renowned for its rich tin deposits. It is believed that the state derived its name, which means silver in Malay, from the silvery tin ore. Despite the 'tin slump in 1983, it has succeeded in restructuring its economic development, resulting in continuous industrial growth. A sound infrastructure and facilities of international standard make it an ideal environment for business enterprise.

Originally an obscure kampung with dilapidated buildings, Ipoh, the town that tin built, has become one of the largest cities in Malaysian. Poised to become a focal point of industry, business, investment, education and social activities, Ipoh reflects the overall progress and development that the state is experiencing.

DESTINATIONS

Kellie Castle
Kellie's Castle was meant to be a home away from home for Scottish Planter, William Kellie Smith in the 20th century. Being far away from home, Kellie desired his new residence to be reminiscent of his home back in Scotland. The castle is perched on top of a hill in what used to be a rubber estate.

Pangkor Island
Pangkor, with its charming mix of fishing settlements and resorts, is a fascinating and convenient holiday destination. It presents the visitor with a rare chance to live near fishermen and observe their lifestyle and also to simply enjoy the fine beaches and resort amenities.

Tempurong Cave
The cave is probably the largest natural limestone cave in Peninsular Malaysia. Located in the vicinity of Gopeng, 24km south of Ipoh, the cave is approximately 1.5km long. It is a truly majestic view of the splendour of the natural view

Pasir Salak Historical Complex
The Complex at Pasir Salak pays tribute to warriors such as Dato' Sagor and Dato' Maharaja Lela. They led the locals against the forces of the British colonial administration. There are memorials erected in their honour, in the shape of a sundang (broad sword), a replica of the type of knife used in the killing of Mr. Birch.

Perak Royal Museum
The Museum was built originally as a royal residence in 1926 and previously known as Istana Kenangan, Istana Tepas and Istana Lembah. It rests majestically on a hilly landscaped Bukit Chandan. The 'saracenic Moorish' architectural facets creates a spellbinding sight for onlookers and visitors to the place. It showcases Perak's Royal regalia as well as pictures and history of the Royal family.

Perak State Secretary Building
The complex is located in the state capital, Ipoh and houses the Menteri Besar office, State Assembly, and government departments. Perak is traditionally divided into Perak Hulu (up-river) and Perak Di Hilir (down-river). Modern Perak practise Constitutional Monarchy. Currently, Perak claimed to have two Speakers for the State Assembly. The Menteri Besar uniquely change colour frequently; from white to black, then white and black again.

999 tu bukan nombor sial bagi masyarakat Cina ke? Tapi khazanah dan tanah punya pasal, sial pun siallah. Mesti steam roll untuk dapatkan juga. Pecat semua Melayu yang ada dalam pentadbiran. Arah MB 50% Cina buat mesyuarat exco untuk luluskan tanah 999 tahun.

Kome tahu dah sial, ndak juge. Sekarang ni dapat ler sialnya kat moke kome.

Bior proses mahkamah tentukan semuanya, sebab yang bawak ke sana pun, deme juge. Jangan bubar DUN. Jangan bayor elaun. Yang sokong BN tu, pandai-pandai minta dari kerajaan Pusat. Tapi yang MCA dengan Gerakan yang nakkan pilihanraya tu, tak payah bagi le. Deme pun same dengan apek DAP tu. Dah le kalah, nak banyak suara pulak. Bior UMNO yang ada 27 kerusi tu buat keputusan.

Kalau yang merungut tak dapat bayaran tu, kebanyakannya kontraktor Cina, tak kire le yang sub ke, yang utama. Yo padan moke sekor2. Kalau boleh, bior sampai kebulor.

Bior tahu akibat DAULAT TUANKU di langgor.

Antibarua berkata...

Salam Tuan Husin,

Masa orang gelap jadi wakil rakyat Pasir Panjang, banyak orang putih buka kolam udang haram kat Lekir, orang sawo matang pun marah lalu undi orang sawa matang (50%) jadi wakil rakyat baru. Ingatkan boleh kurangkan kolam udang tu tup tup bertambah banyak lagi kolam udang haram milik orang putih muncul. Satu bala jadinya. Harapkan pagar pagar makan udang free orang putih kasi jadi MB. Dah tu jadi wakil rakyat Parlimen kawasan lain pula. Nak mai tengok masalah kat Pasir Panjang dan Lekio ni pun dah tak dak masa, sibuk dah pula naik turun mahkamah tak habis-habis. Apa lah malang nasib rakyat di Pasir Panjang dan Lekio. Lepas ni kena cari calon dari anak tempatan ler kut-kut boleh tolong. Calon bebas pun tak pa asal anak tempatan, Yang ada sekarang ni anak Kampar. Alahai.

Ada akai ka...

Modern Perak practice Constitutional Monarchy sometimes. Where the Sultan and his Raja calls all the shots.Currently, Perak claimed to have two Speakers for the State Assembly. On special occasion the pepper sprays and guns and police are brought inside.The Menteri Besar uniquely change colour frequently; from white to black, then white and black again. And the recent court decided it should be Michael jackson's Black & White.
One the the MB equates himself as Gandhi and Mandela but most Perakians equates that MB as Mugabe.
The Perak state is also popularly known as Berak .
