The Canning Garden Hillrise Coffee 16 cafe in Ipoh has been ordered to close temporarily by the Ipoh City Council (MBI) pending approval of their Planning Permission (KM) application, despite being located in a gazetted commercial zone.

Complaints from residents about traffic congestion and nuisances have arisen due to the cafe’s operations, while the cafe’s director insists they are unfairly denied a business licence after investing in renovations.
