Last updated on 18 October 2015 – 06:10pm
POH: The ‘Car Free Day’ programme introduced in Ipoh is aimed at turning Ipoh into a ‘Low Carbon’ emission city and transform the people into a ‘Low Carbon Community’ said Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.
Zambry said Ipoh has achieved another milestone through the programme, which has been implemented in other cities in Malaysia and around the world to reach establish a less-carbon city.
“By creating awareness and a healthy lifestyle through the programme, people can cycle, skate board, roller-skates and walk freely without any interference of vehicles on the roads.
“We have also received positive feedback from various parties about the programme, including the Sultan of Perak (Sultan Nazrin Shah) who hopes to join the programme in the future,” he told reporters after attending the programme at the Ipoh padang, here today.
About 5,000 people, including Ipoh Datuk Bandar Datuk Zamri Man, state exco members and heads of departments participated.

Ipoh prepares for first car-free day
Ipoh will host its first car-free day, encouraging drivers to travel in a more environmentally friendly fashion, on October 18.
For three hours, from 7am to 10am, an area including Jalan Raja Di-Hilir, the roundabout in front of the menteri besar’s residence to the Sultan Abdul Aziz roundabout and sideroads, Jalan Golf Kelab, Jalan Caldwell, and Sultan Abdul Aziz Recreation Park will be closed to motorised transport.
According to Ipoh City Council (MBI), the car-free day is just “a trial run” to test how popular it will be with residents.
Mayor Datuk Zamri Man said, after a recent council full board meeting, that certain routes would be designated vehicle-free for three hours on a specific date, if the residents supported the move.
“We are looking to gain support from residents in the chosen areas before finalising. Currently, we are engaging local community leaders and have so far received a positive response.
“The aim is to encourage people to walk, jog or cycle,” he said.
“We plan to have car-free days only on Sundays.”
