There are many means to get to Ipoh, Perak either by rail, air or road. One can easily travel by train between Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh as there are daily trains that depart from KL Sentral. The train takes about 2 hours to reach Ipoh. ETS trains provide eight return trips for the Kuala Lumpur-Ipoh route daily. The ETS reduces travel time between Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur by about one hour.
Delegates are strongly recommended to take the ERL to KL Sentral and ETS to Ipoh or fly in from Singapore.
Booking Tickets for the ETS KL to Ipoh Train
To book your tickets on the ETS Electric Train from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh, you can sometimes book them at the station on the day of travel if there are seats still available, but we would highly advise you to book them in advance. If you would like to make an advance booking it is much easier to book tickets online - either directly from the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) website, or using an online ticket agent which offer a much quicker and easier booking process.

The Federation of Engineering Institutions of Southeast Asia and the Pacific (FEISEAP) is an international non-profit professional organization founded on 6 July 1978. Its establishment following an exploratory meeting convened and organised by The Engineering Institute of Thailand under The King's Patronage with the support of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on 3 July 1978 in Chiang Mai. Being an independent umbrella organization for the engineering institutions in the Southeast Asia and the Pacific region, the objectives of FEISEAP are to encourage the application of technical progress to economic and social advancement throughout the world; to advance engineering as a profession in the interest of all people; and to foster peace throughout the world. The Federation was, itself, an international member of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), that pursues objectives similar to those of FEISEAP on a global scale. The Constitution of the Federation has been amended several times at its biennial General Assemblies. At the 14th General Assembly of FEISEAP held in Cebu, Philippines, on 26 November, 2007 the question of the continuation of FEISEAP was discussed. It was unanimously agreed at that General Assembly, that the Federation should continue provided that its Constitution was reviewed to more clearly define its objectives and to broaden the scope of economies eligible for membership. This version of the Constitution is the result of that review and consultation with all Members. It was unanimously adopted by the Special General Assembly of the Federation held in Hanoi, Viet Nam, on 2 June 2008. The Constitution incorporates a change of its name to the Federation of Engineering Institutions of Asia and the Pacific (FEIAP).
