LEANING TOWER OF TELUK INTAN

The leaning tower of Teluk Intan is the Malaysian version equivalent to the world famous tower of Pisa in Italy. This 1885 historical Tower still stand strong until today. It is located in the centre of the town of Teluk Intan, Perak. The tower is slanted leftward similar to Tower of Pisa. It is 25.5 meters tall and from outside, it looks like a 8 strorey building. In actual fact, you will find out as you go inside the building is divided into 3 storeys.




The tower was built by Leong Choon Chong, a Chinese contractor and was originally used as a water tank to store portable water during dry season for the people living nearby. It is also used as a time keeper of the town as there is a huge clock on top of the tower. The clock was made by J.W. Benson of Ludgatehill London and the cost of building it was contributed by the local people. The building itself is made of bricks and wood.




The pagoda style structure has been greatly influenced by Chinese architecture because the majority of the population of the town at that time was Chinese. Each storey has a height of 5 meters and you will need to climb up 110 steps to reach the top of the tower. The reason for the leaning are because of the soft ground on the base of the tower and the height of the water tank.






The operation hours of the tower is 8.00am to 5.00pm every weekdays, and 9,00am to 6.00pm during weekends and public holidays. Admission is FREE.
