Rubbish in Ipoh streets

I recently blogged about the murals in Ipoh. I also mentioned the rubbish dumped in the back lanes.

Since then I have had a letter published in Ipoh Echo about the rubbish.

Gopeng murals

Last week I blogged about the Ipoh murals, now here are some from Gopeng. Gopeng is a small town about 20 km south of Ipoh.

The murals are interesting as real props have been put in front

Ipoh murals

I had some spare time in Ipoh and finally managed to see the murals, which have been painted by local artist Eric Lau. He did the first ones early in 2013 and has done some more early in 2014. See article in The Star.

Paintings are popping up in other streets in Ipoh, but the main ones are near the junction of  Jalan Sultan Iskandar and Datuk Onn Jaafar. Look for the rainbow shoplots on Sultan Iskandar, the corner shop being Red House Coffee.

 

The murals are in a back lane Datuk Onn Jaafar.

 

Pity about the rubbish

Whilst there it is worth seeing the Panglima mosque
