This is Jubilee Park, Ipoh as we see it today. I knew about this place during my student days in Kuala kangsar and this is our favourite joint during our frequent trip to Ipoh.
it is now a run down building...

Jubilee Park was once Ipoh’s foremost entertainment centre. Built by the Danish architect BM Iversen, some of the attractions within this 4-acre park were the Grand Theatre, the Chinese Concert Hall and the Jubilee Cabaret. Interestingly, it was originally called the ‘Ipoh Amusement Park’, but later the owners (the Shaw Brothers of course!) renamed it ‘Jubilee Park’ in 1935 - in honour of King George V’s Silver Jubilee.
