Hmm…Time flies & now the start of last quarter in 2024, happy September to all ๐๐๐ป๐ฅณ
Yeahโผ๏ธย SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป๐ is excited happy to share about things to do when travel to Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ
Teluk Intan in the early days, it was known as Teluk Mak Intan, yes โ
, named after a female Mandailing trader that the Perak rulers held court from 1528 until Kuala Kangsar became the royal town in 1877. Then, during the British ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ฌ๐ง protectorate era, it was changed to Teluk Anson (Anson Bay) in honour of a British officer & last lieutenant-governor of Penang, Major-General Sir Archibald Edward Harbord Anson, who drew the plan of its modern township in 1882. Subsequently, in 1982 during the centenary of the town’s establishment, this town name was changed again to Teluk Intan (Diamond Bay) by the Sultan of Perak at that time
Things To Do / Places To Visit
Leaning Tower aka Menara Condong Teluk Intan
It’s a landmark clock leaning tower built in 1885 by a contractor named Mr Leong Choon Chong as a national monument & notable because it then leans towards the southwest direction later. This tower stood at 25m with 110 steps & not as tall compared to the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy ๐ฎ๐น which stood at 55m
Originally it housed the water tank that supply water ๐ฆ to the town area & reserve during drought & fire ๐ฅ It was also used to report time & served as a beacon to guide ship ๐ข into Telok Anson Port โ It’s no longer in use & with empty water tank, hence the locals here suspected because of the heavy water tank became empty & causing the tower leaning to side
It’s NOW a main attraction๐ in Teluk Intan Town of Perak state ๐ฒ๐พ for both local & international tourists as it filled with detailed information regarding Teluk Intan’s history as well as the backstory of this tower. The chiming clock ๐ฐ๏ธ which was being installed on this tower in 1894 was bought from London ๐ฌ๐ง & designed by Mr J.W. Benson-Ludgathy ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
Another similar clock by him is on the Sultan Abdul Samad Building in Kuala Lumpur ๐ฐ๏ธ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
Ticket is required ๐๏ธโ
to enter to explore this historical clock tower, even go up to the top of the tower to take photos/ videos ๐ธ๐น
