Ipoh Car-Free Day (April 2016)
April’s Ipoh Car-Free Day went underway like clockwork and it was great to note that more and more people have come to accept that one of the major roads in Ipoh is closed on the last, and sometimes second last, Sunday of the month.
This recent Car-Free Day also attracted more people, thanks to an interesting Fun Run and the presence of a clown courtesy of Ipoh’s most popular clown, Au Young.
It was also announced that the Ipoh City Council is organising a Car-Free Day logo design competition. It is open to everyone who resides in Perak. Prizes up for grabs are RM1,000 cash and an iPad plus three consolation prizes of RM500 each.
Submission of logos to the council’s Quality Management Division is to be made latest by May 20, 2016 at 5pm. Winners will be announced during May’s Ipoh Car-Free Day event. For further information, contact Bahagian Pengurusan Kualiti MBI at 05-208 3253 / 208 3250.

Selangor should have an event like this too to promote car free day. Better for our environment
I had never heard of Ipoh Car-Free Day until reading this post. What an interesting concept! Kudos to Ipoh people for making such an event looks like loads of fun, while getting people to care more for the environment as well!
Nice! I cannot imagine what it would be like if Singapore has a car free day. Would be interesting!
Wah, KL should do one car-free day too! Haha.
Have a car free Sunday in certain parts of KL too…a good initiative
