Small Towns in Malaysia - Teluk Intan

Teluk Intan is a typical Malaysian town located in the state of Perak. A quiet and seemingly laid back town with a long history dating back to the early 16th century but not much to show. Teluk Intan's main economic activities centre on oil palm cultivation and palm oil production located outside the town. For those living in the nearby smaller towns and villages, it's the place to do their shopping.

For most travelers, Teluk Intan is just a short stopover and break for passengers on express buses making their way to the seaside destinations of Lumut and Pangkor Island. I think the only attraction is this town is the Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan located near the bus station. The Leaning Tower was built in the late 19th century and initially a water tower converted into a clock tower.
