| The leaning tower of Teluk Intan (CNB 2011) |
I felt like a real tourist when in January this year, we stopped by the centre of Teluk Intan (Telok Anson in the old days!) and took pictures at the clock tower there. It is really quite a picturesque building, complete with its slight tilt leftward, similar to the Tower of Pisa. So we have our very own leaning tower ... how fantastic!
The clock tower was built in 1885 at a height of 25.5 metres and started tilting four years after construction (due to soft ground on the base and the weight of the water tank - the building was originally used as a water tower). This pagoda style structure is three storeys high but looks like an eight storey building.

After the posing-mosing, we adjourned to a restaurant nearby (within walking distance), recommended by SB. Mastan Ghani is famous for the mee & rojak that they serve. Yes, after a plateful (or two), I do agree that it is worth stopping by to eat here, whenever you find yourself in Teluk Intan.
