British-India influence to FMS Railway
station in Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh
This paper intend to identify and evaluate the influence
of British India in Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh Railway
Station as the first two railway stations that have been
built by brick in FMS.
The political influence of British as an administrative
body of Malaya and Malayan geological environment of
that era will be examined to identify the influence to
the railway station’s architectural elements. The rivalry
between the European powers for control of the tin
deposits in Malaya as an economical force has further
developed the train system in Malaya, which has urged
to further development along the lines.
Therefore, this study will further evaluate the
relationship of the Ipoh Railway Station in comparison
to the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station’s architectural
style from the influence of global industrial revolution
era, as well as local political and historical influence.

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: INVENSION OF RAILWAY
The Industrial Revolution covers the century of extraordinary inventiveness and
unprecedented industrial and economic growth in Western world. Railway was invented
during this period of time and was also the driving force behind Industrial Revolution
(McNeese, 2010).
The blossoming Industrial Revolution thirsted for raw material namely tin in Malaya
(Eveland, 2011).
THE INFLUENCE OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IN MALAYSIA
1.2 INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION ERA:
ESTABLISHMENT OF RAILWAY IN MALAYA
Geological environment and historical background of Malaya displayed an important
role in the development of railway.
Railway was brought into Malaya 60 years after its invention in Europe by the British. It
was a solution to their problem; the need to transport the tin from the mines to the
port in a shorter period of time.
In 19th century, rivalry takes part between the European powers for control of the tin
deposits in Malaya. Tin became a significant raw material contributing to the industrial
revolution.
Large tin deposits were discovered in Sungei Ujong of Negeri Sembilan, in the valleys
of Klang River and at Larut, Perak (Kaur, 1985). In 1874, British came in to control the
unrest in the tin-producing areas and later, residential system was established in Perak,
Selangor and Sungei Ujong (Visvanathan, 2013).
The first railway system in Malaya was in 1885 from Taiping to Port Weld and later from
Kuala Lumpur to Klang. Many new cities begin to develop along the way later.
Both of this railway lines were later connected during the establishment of the
Federated Malay States. Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur later became the capital city and has
later constructed the first brick railway station for each states.
RAILWAY ESTABLISHMENT IN MALAYA
“ The great difficulty that the
tin could be got from the
mines to the shipping place”
( Hugh Low)
“ Railways were clearly the
answer since they provide the
means of richening up the
territory with all its rich
commercial possibility”
( Hugh Low)

been simplified with
mixture of art deco
elements.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF RAILWAY SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA
STAGE 1: KERETAPI NEGERI-NEGERI (1885 TO 1900)
British government in India do not agree to develop the
railways in Malaya. The Train system was financed by the
British state government at that time in Perak and Selangor.
STAGE 2: FEDERATION MALAY STATES RAILWAYS
A.K.A FMSR (1901 TO 1948)
State government of Perak and Selangor realize the sharing
interest and needs of railways, and begin to collaborate to
improved co-ordination of development in the new
founded federation.
The outbreak of World War II was marked with the
Japanese Empire's invasion of Malaya in 1942.
STAGE 3: MALAYAN RAILWAY/ KERETAPI TANAH
MELAYU@KTM (1948 TO 1992)
British government in India accept the establishment of
FMSR and agree to develop new tracks to connect other
states in Malaya. Malayan Railway was established.
STAGE 4: KTM BERHAD (1992 ONWARDS)
Malayan Union dissolved and was replaced with
Persekutuan Tanah Melayu. The Malayan Railway was
renamed as Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad(KTM) in 1992

Earlier established railway lines are within state government
initiatives which was built for economical purpose; from the
mines to the port.
After the establishment of FMS, British has linked all the
railway lines for both, economical and administrative purpose
(Chan, 1967).Ipoh Station begun to play a significant role in
Perak during FMS due to its shorter distance to Kuala Lumpur
station in comparison to other tin deposits around Perak. Ipoh
later became the capital of Perak.

British administrative setting in Ipoh
Kuala Lumpur plan in 1930 British administrative setting in Kuala Lumpur
British administrative center has developed a
standard module which have been applied to most
of its town around Malaya. The administrative
setting shall consist of a government office, post
office, high court, bank, club house and a parade
ground.
In comparison to both city setting in Ipoh and Kuala
Lumpur, Ipoh has displayed the strong relationship
of railway station to its administration center. Ipoh
was a major location for mining deposit and has
been established as a city due to mining activity.
Railway was an important mean of transportation to
the town.
On the other hand, Kuala Lumpur reflected that the
British administration center is located closer to the
river mouth. This was because it’s early local
settlements have mostly settled along the river with
water transportation as a means of transportation
for communication and trades. Railway was added
later for the rising need of higher capacity and faster
means of transportation.
IPOH RAILWAY STATION
DELAYOFCONSTRUCTION
The station was designed by AB Hubbock (MSPWD)- the
same architect whom has designed Kuala Lumpur Railway
Station.
claimed to be the first brick building built by the state
government at that time.
The construction began in 1914 but was interrupted due to a
shortage of materials and high costs of labor during World
War I.
This station was constructed by phases from the North
After the completion of the main building, a temporary
wooden platform was constructed to connect the main
building. Platform 1,2,3,4 and 5 was built after that
Completed in 1917, the station has three platforms,
commodious offices for railway staff, and a restaurant and
hotel. The hotel rooms open out to the deep upper verandah.
It was upgraded from 17 to 21 rooms by 1936.

3.3 ARCHITECTURAL STYLE:
ARCHITECTURE STYLES
Architecture style and elements reflected on both Kuala Lumpur
and Ipoh Railway Stations have been on the influence of the
factors below:
1. The function of the building – to reflect the masculine and
massive figure of a British public building.
2. Brtish-India :Moghul neo-saracen architecture- carried in by
the British officers whom have served in India before coming
to Malaya. The elements are carried in to demonstrate Malaya
as an Islamic country.
3. Influence of architecture era in global context – Starting from
Industrial revolution up to art deco era
3.3.1 BRITISH PUBLIC BUILDING
ELEMENTS
As a British public building, both of this stations share a common
elements to display a massive masculine figure to look dominant.
In Britain, the Neoclassical style was employed in the design of a
wide variety of public buildings from banks to museums to post
offices.
It is identified with common architecture principles as follow:
• Symmetrical
• Visual frame & break front
• Proportion & verticality (visually looks taller)
• Repetition and rhyme

MOGHUL NEO-SARACEN ARCHITECTURE
This style has been displayed at both Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh
railway station. It is commonly known as MOGHUL NEO-SARACEN
ARCHITECTURE or Moghul revival.
Moghul Neo-saracen Architecture is marriage elements from
Native Indo-Islamic and Indian architecture (to create notable
impression of Islamic architecture) with western Gothic revival
and Neo-classical styles.
The term Saracenic was used by the ancient Romans to refer to
province of Arabia features gently curving domes and arches.
It was a popularity style in late-19th century and early 20th
century in colonial India and was carried into Malaya by British
architects in British India (A.B. Hubback has worked in India
before coming to Malaya in 1901)

FORMATION OF RAILWAY STATION STANDARDS IN EUROPE:
Adapted in the concept of kuala lumpur and ipoh railway station
• Exposed steel structure in the platform area parallel to technical
and engineering character.
• Variety of platform structure depending on the width
• Concourse area (to gather)
• Combination of hotel and train Satation . Firstly used in 1837 in
England by Lord Crewe
• Picturesque eclecticism used from late 18th century to early 20th
century to form an attractive skyline
Even though the raw material of tins have not been spent in Malaya,
these stations was still affected by the change of building material.
This is obviously presented in its platform area which have been of a
wide span steel structure especially Kuala Lumpur Train Station.
Ipoh have had steel as a structure for the whole building, which is
however, being covered by concrete in the main building
3.3.3 GLOBAL ARCHITECTURE ERA :
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Megalomania(1890-1914) era has developed railway system widely in the west.
This has carry influence in Malaya only later , which reflects the changes of elements in Ipoh Station
compared to the earlier style of Kuala Lumpur Station.
• From romantic era to aesthetic
• Towers became less frequent
• Domes begin to replace spires
• Proportion: grand
• Use of glass cages and domes

4.0 CONCLUSION
This study has identified and recognized the
similarity and differences in both, Kuala
Lumpur and Ipoh Railway Station
architecture through its historical
background and influence. Kuala Lumpur
and Ipoh became the capital for Selangor
and Perak, function as the main center of
administration for British. Therefore, both
stations shows a strong masculine identity
as a public building under British
administration in Malaya.
However, even though both of this buildings
were the first brick FMS railway station in
each state, Kuala Lumpur Railway Station
was build 7 years earlier than Ipoh Railway
station.
Only in the late 19th century Ipoh was found
to contain large tin deposits and British
came in to control the unrest in the tin-
producing areas and later.
Kuala Lumpur Station(1910) has displayed a strong Moghul and Raj
architecture and detailing that was later becoming less and simplified in
Ipoh Station. Kuala Lumpur station architecture style was similar to most
British public buildings in Kuala Lumpur in its era. The architects in that
time were closely influenced by British style in India.
Ipoh Station, which was later built in 1917 after the world war, have been
in the simpler complexity. Limitation of material was a challenge, and the
style is experimental. It demonstrated a stronger simplified classical image
and proportion.
The influence of Megalomania in Europe was found to influence the design
of Ipoh station which has exhibit fewer towers and minarets but more
domes.
On top of all, in the overall form of the building, both station has displayed
a common architectural elements of a British public building with a massive
image and principle.

  • 4. British-India influence to FMS Railway station in Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh This paper intend to identify and evaluate the influence of British India in Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh Railway Station as the first two railway stations that have been built by brick in FMS. The political influence of British as an administrative body of Malaya and Malayan geological environment of that era will be examined to identify the influence to the railway station’s architectural elements. The rivalry between the European powers for control of the tin deposits in Malaya as an economical force has further developed the train system in Malaya, which has urged to further development along the lines. Therefore, this study will further evaluate the relationship of the Ipoh Railway Station in comparison to the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station’s architectural style from the influence of global industrial revolution era, as well as local political and historical influence. 1.1 INTRODUCTION : BACKGROUND STUDY rsmurthi.

  • 5. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: INVENSION OF RAILWAY The Industrial Revolution covers the century of extraordinary inventiveness and unprecedented industrial and economic growth in Western world. Railway was invented during this period of time and was also the driving force behind Industrial Revolution (McNeese, 2010). The blossoming Industrial Revolution thirsted for raw material namely tin in Malaya (Eveland, 2011). THE INFLUENCE OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IN MALAYSIA 1.2 INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION ERA: ESTABLISHMENT OF RAILWAY IN MALAYA Geological environment and historical background of Malaya displayed an important role in the development of railway. Railway was brought into Malaya 60 years after its invention in Europe by the British. It was a solution to their problem; the need to transport the tin from the mines to the port in a shorter period of time. In 19th century, rivalry takes part between the European powers for control of the tin deposits in Malaya. Tin became a significant raw material contributing to the industrial revolution. Large tin deposits were discovered in Sungei Ujong of Negeri Sembilan, in the valleys of Klang River and at Larut, Perak (Kaur, 1985). In 1874, British came in to control the unrest in the tin-producing areas and later, residential system was established in Perak, Selangor and Sungei Ujong (Visvanathan, 2013). The first railway system in Malaya was in 1885 from Taiping to Port Weld and later from Kuala Lumpur to Klang. Many new cities begin to develop along the way later. Both of this railway lines were later connected during the establishment of the Federated Malay States. Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur later became the capital city and has later constructed the first brick railway station for each states. RAILWAY ESTABLISHMENT IN MALAYA “ The great difficulty that the tin could be got from the mines to the shipping place” ( Hugh Low) “ Railways were clearly the answer since they provide the means of richening up the territory with all its rich commercial possibility” ( Hugh Low) SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: 1870-1914

STAGE 2: FEDERATION MALAY STATES RAILWAYS A.K.A FMSR (1901 TO 1948) State government of Perak and Selangor realize the sharing interest and needs of railways, and begin to collaborate to improved co-ordination of development in the new founded federation. The outbreak of World War II was marked with the Japanese Empire's invasion of Malaya in 1942. STAGE 3: MALAYAN RAILWAY/ KERETAPI TANAH MELAYU@KTM (1948 TO 1992) British government in India accept the establishment of FMSR and agree to develop new tracks to connect other states in Malaya. Malayan Railway was established. STAGE 4: KTM BERHAD (1992 ONWARDS) Malayan Union dissolved and was replaced with Persekutuan Tanah Melayu. The Malayan Railway was renamed as Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad(KTM) in 1992 1.4 RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT PHASES IN MALAYA RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT PHASES : 1885 TO 1900 1901 TO 1948 1948 TO 1992 INDIVIDUAL STATE (INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION) IN FMS PROVINCE UNTIL WORLDWAR REBRANDING AFTER WORLDWAR: MALAYAN UNION Source :Hassan, 1994

The administrative setting shall consist of a government office, post office, high court, bank, club house and a parade ground. In comparison to both city setting in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh has displayed the strong relationship of railway station to its administration center. Ipoh was a major location for mining deposit and has been established as a city due to mining activity. Railway was an important mean of transportation to the town. On the other hand, Kuala Lumpur reflected that the British administration center is located closer to the river mouth. This was because it’s early local settlements have mostly settled along the river with water transportation as a means of transportation for communication and trades. Railway was added later for the rising need of higher capacity and faster means of transportation.

The construction began in 1914 but was interrupted due to a shortage of materials and high costs of labor during World War I. This station was constructed by phases from the North After the completion of the main building, a temporary wooden platform was constructed to connect the main building. Platform 1,2,3,4 and 5 was built after that Completed in 1917, the station has three platforms, commodious offices for railway staff, and a restaurant and hotel.

  • 33. 4.0 CONCLUSION This study has identified and recognized the similarity and differences in both, Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh Railway Station architecture through its historical background and influence. Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh became the capital for Selangor and Perak, function as the main center of administration for British. Therefore, both stations shows a strong masculine identity as a public building under British administration in Malaya. However, even though both of this buildings were the first brick FMS railway station in each state, Kuala Lumpur Railway Station was build 7 years earlier than Ipoh Railway station. Only in the late 19th century Ipoh was found to contain large tin deposits and British came in to control the unrest in the tin- producing areas and later. Kuala Lumpur Station(1910) has displayed a strong Moghul and Raj architecture and detailing that was later becoming less and simplified in Ipoh Station. Kuala Lumpur station architecture style was similar to most British public buildings in Kuala Lumpur in its era. The architects in that time were closely influenced by British style in India. Ipoh Station, which was later built in 1917 after the world war, have been in the simpler complexity. Limitation of material was a challenge, and the style is experimental. It demonstrated a stronger simplified classical image and proportion. The influence of Megalomania in Europe was found to influence the design of Ipoh station which has exhibit fewer towers and minarets but more domes. On top of all, in the overall form of the building, both station has displayed a common architectural elements of a British public building with a massive image and principle.
