Ipoh

Capital of Perak state, Peninsular Malaysia; population (2000 est) 566,200. It lies in the Kinta Valley on an alluvial plain rich in tin ores. Tin mining in open pits has been the core industry since the late 19th century. Ipoh is also a commercial centre for nearby rubber plantations. Much of the city's power is provided by hydroelectricity from the Chenderoh dam on the Perak River.

Ipoh is home to the Ungku Omar Polytechnical Institute (1969).
