Symbolic of Teluk Intan.

       I am a permanent resident of Teluk Intan, feel like telling the story that became symbolic of where I live, the "Menara Condong". The only privilege and charm of the city is Teluk Intan Leaning Tower. What is unique is that it's leaning tower of Pisa Tower. It was built in 1885 by Leong Choon Choong. Tower to a height of 85 feet and has 110 steps appear to have seven floors. But he only has three levels where each level only has a height of 15.5 feet. The building is equipped with a large clock and inspired by the architecture of the buildings in the Chinese Pagoda. The tower's original function was to put a water tank for local use. Originally this building was not built deliberately skewed, but in 1889 and 1895, the Teluk Intan was hit by massive floods drown once part of the building. This event is also the main factor leaning toward building the Northwest. Since then, the tower known as the "Menara Condong" prod name. So i think that my place very interesting to visit. Come my friends.
