Tips to Teluk Intan...

The Tower
Standing at 25.5m tall, its construction appears comprising eight different levels but the building is actually divided into only three storeys. When it was first built, its structure was straight but it began to tilt about 1.8 metre towards Jalan Bandar between 1889 and 1895.This pagoda-like structure was built by a Chinese contractor, Leong Choon Choong, in 1885. Initially, it was used as a covered water tank to store water sufficient for 800 Teluk Intan residents at that time. During the Japanese Occupation, it was used as an observation post for the Japanese Army. Later, it became headquarters for the Boys Scouts.These days, it just tells the time. Come Wednesdays, the clock tower's caretaker will wind up the clock's mechanism using a crank. Commissioned in London, the clock chimes twice every 15 minutes. The chimes can be heard as far as eight kilometres in radius especially at night.

Lots of Indian peoples around, sure need an Indian temple, simple theory, and this is a big one in Teluk Intan town center, not that big actually, quite easy to locate especially such obvious look, is at Jalan Bandar, a short distant walk from the Tower.



Another attraction is the 'Batu Tenggek' (Sitting Boulder) which is situated at a junction in the town centre. The rock was believed to be placed by a British soldier and was a size of a matchbox. Over the years, the small rock grew bigger until it reached the size of a boulder. However, it is also said to be a local war memorial built to commemorate World War I.


The town was founded on the river bank of the Perak River. The river is oxbow-shaped (like a "U") as it flows through the town, and the town is built around the "oxbow". During high-tides, some parts of the town will be flooded with water even though there are watergates and banks to protect the town. Various measures taken by the government to solve the problem have seen relatively few floods in Teluk Intan nowadays. It is said that the river will become straight, splitting into an oxbow lake, and in effect will make Teluk Intan an island.
