WELCOME TO IPOH CITY
Ipoh City, the capital of Perak State, was once the centre of Malaysia's once thriving tin industry. With a population of 600,000, it is the third largest City in Peninsular Malaysia, encompassing 137.5 sq. km under its jurisdiction.

The evolution of the Ipoh City Council can be traced back to the 1890s when Sir Frank Swettenham, a British Resident, started the Ipoh Sanitary Board. As one of the main centres of economic activity in the State, Ipoh soon attracted a growing population. This was further accelerated when Ipoh became the centre of the State administration when Malaysia achieved independence from the United Kingdom on 31st August 1957

With the growth of the population, and the need to provide wide-ranging regulatory activities to the growing population, Ipoh was elevated to a Town Council on 31st May 1962. On 27th May 1988, Ipoh was finally accorded City Status.

With the nation moving towards a knowledge economy, Ipoh City follow suits with the conceptualization of a Smart City Project where its services to its population would be based on e-Government principle i.e. Information Dissemination, Information Communication and Transaction of services to citizen, businesses and within government departments.

Based on the framework of using ICT to promote productivity, Ipoh City has adopted the ICT channel to deliver its services to the public, facilitate a better environment to promote business and development, and improve the productivity of its employees.

Ipoh City is well on its way to becoming Malaysia's first 'Smart City'
