This afternoon, almost everything being closed on the occasion of the Chinese New Year, we found this beautiful mosque open. Very few were the faithful in prayer. Beautiful mirhab and green carpet that covers the entire floor. Beige and blue caftans are available outside for visitors not sufficiently covered.

This beautiful painted mosque with its original unique architecture is just next to the junction of Kinta River and the bridge across Jalan Sultan Iskandar. It is 'hidden' behind a row of shop houses lining the road Jalan Sultan Iskandar.though , walk right behind the shophouses next to the pier and you'd see this :)
I stumbled into this while walking along Jalan Sultan Iskandar across the bridge and exploring its neighbourhood.
Unfortunately, I've only got 1 photo of it and sharing it, hope it is a cool addition to the rest of the contributions

Located just behind the lane of street art and right beside the Kinta River (New Town Side), it is a pretty blue and white mosque. They are very welcoming to visitors with volunteers to show you through and proper attire to our on in order to be respectful. I didn’t catch his name, but our volunteer was so interesting. He clearly just wants to educate people on Islam but does it in a way that is not preachy or patronising. We spent a whole hour chatting with him. It’s a lovely way to learn more about the religion.

An impressive sight when you look up Jalan Masjid from the south-east. At the end of this street, a mighty white building dominates the scene. As you approach this object, the uncertainty about the character of this building becomes ever greater.
There is no resemblance to any kind of down-to-earth architecture. The color scheme - the main body is bright white and two points are in royal blue - makes the visitor think of Greek architecture, which gives its sacred buildings an almost charismatic flair with this choice of colors.
This suspicion is only dispelled when you get almost immediately close, because here aspects become clear that are very reminiscent of the architectural style with baroque elements that the Orthodox Church in Russia has given its sanctuaries. In addition, there are Renaissance elements in the cornice of the upper floor. Note, for example, the decorations on the masonry.
In short: the traveler only finds out that this is a mosque when he has physically reached his destination and has been able to find out more from a very strange sign.
When we reached the outside area of this mosque, we first wanted to just breathe in the atmosphere of this place - standing here in the green. We didn't even get that far, because we were contacted by a person who came out of a small house in a rather unfriendly and linguistically unidentifiable manner.
It didn't take long, however, before we realized that the people working here were not clerics. None of the people spoke Arabic, and we had the impression that the people working here did not think and act in religious categories, but resembled people you meet in front of shops as 'smugglers' and whose desires are exclusively focused on material things.
A disgrace for the people responsible here.
We left this place with great regret.

I was told that some teacher of the Quran recitals in Perak once lived here. Then, due to his fame and contributions, he was commemorated by having a tomb located behind the mosque. One of the bigger mosque at the area. Driving distance to Kinta Aeon Mall, very easy to spot.

Of the 3 mosques I saw in central Ipoh this one was the prettiest, although I didn't take the opportunity to go inside any of them. Looks especially good at night when the lights are on.
