Teluk Intan's leaning tower is 123 years old

The famous Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan built in 1885 is located at the Square in the town centre. There I was on a Sunday morning 25.5.2008 standing atop the 2nd floor of the tower to get a bird's eye view of the town centre. The 3rd floor upward is inaccessible to public as it contained the water tank.

Seen from outside, the tower which is made of bricks and wood gives the impression of an 8-storey structure but actually it has 3 storey only.

Entrance to the tower is free everyday from Mon - Fri 9.00 am - 5.00 pm and Sat, Sun & Public Holiday 8.00 am - 6.00 pm.
