message: I stripped the page from having two versions of chinese. It is pointless and unnecessary and sticking to one version is the norm in articles with chinese characters. I left the Simplified version in ONLY as it is the more "official" version. Momolee 06:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Movies filmed in ipoh should be in its own category.... maybe not in one category (due to lacking of content) but in a wider category such as "Arts and Entertainment", etc.

thread_title:  too many redlinks in Schools section 

message: For background, please see Talk:Kuching#Language. Basically, Chinese is not an official language of Malaysia, so by convention, we should not be using it in the article (otherwise, we have no objective standard for inclusion of alternative names - we might as well put the Swahili transliteration in as well). Jawi has a better claim because it is an alternative script for Malay, which is the official language of Malaysia. Johnleemk | Talk 12:11, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally I am inclined to agree - although if Jawi is an official script for Malay (which I think it is), I believe it ought to be included in the infobox as well. I think only official names and common English names should be included in the infobox. Johnleemk | Talk 05:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Majority of people from Ipoh are Chinese, and locals are more inclined to use Chinese names, for stuff like food. Mhching (talk) 18:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As of today, Jawi is only official in Brunei (as the official script, along with Latin alphabet) for their Malay language, not in Malaysia. Chongkian (talk) 04:55, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of Chinese name 

message: In the early 70ties, Malaysian (re-)nationalization led to (re-)naming all of Ipoh's streets (and many other things) from English to Malay. Does anyone have a table of street name translations? Where could one find those and would it be appropriate to add it here? Dirk Riehle 18:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Why this page name is Ipoh, Malaysia instead of Ipoh, Perak? Furthermore, the move was made by what seems to be a single-purpose account AND without discussion. __earth (Talk) 02:52, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

message: An actual skyline photo be used in the infobox's skyline image option. A single building should not be used, unless this article is about that building. 70.51.8.63 (talk) 05:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

message: As stated in the above headline, both Ipoh and Kuching are the fourth largest city in Malaysia.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello. I've made some changes to the information presented in the 'Economy' section of this article and wanted to list the three major ones. I've removed the statement about Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad being "among the top 15 biggest companies in Malaysia by revenue" as this information appears to change from time to time. I also had trouble finding a reliable citation to support this statement in present times (as it is so specific about being in the top 15). I removed the statement about Hovid Berhad claiming to be "the first Malaysian company to introduce Malaysian generic drugs overseas" as I could not find any sources to substantiate this. Hovid's Wikipedia page has the same statement but also lacks any citations to prove it. Lastly, I've removed the statement about Old Town Berhad being publicly listed as they have since been privatized. If reliable sources can be found to provide citations for the first two changes (about Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad and Hovid Berhad), you are more than welcome to re-add the information back in.
