Ipoh Starwalk 2011

AN ancient Sikh temple, a Methodist church and an army camp set up during the colonial days will be among several historic landmarks along the new route for Ipoh Starwalk 2011.

About 15,000 participants are expected to pass by these heritage buildings during the walk which will be flagged off at Stadium Indera Mulia at 7am on June 19.
Perak Amateur Athletics Association secretary S.O. Appan said the walkers would pass by Jalan Hospital where they could see several interesting buildings including an old Sikh temple at the hill top.
“They can also view other landmarks such as a Methodist church, an old hotel and an army camp that was built during the colonial days,” he said, adding there were also several pre-war shopouses along Jalan Kamaruddin Isa.
