Exploring Kuala Kangsar, Perak’s royal town

The iconic Ubudiah Mosque stands majestically in Kuala Kangsar, with its golden domes and minarets.

After a smooth journey on board Keretapi Tanah Melayu’s Electric Train Service, we finally arrived at the station in the royal town of Kuala Kangsar, where we would be spending the next few days. Over 50 members of the media, tour agents, as well as representatives from Tourism Malaysia and Destination Perak, were on a familiarisation trip to Kuale (‘Ku-ah-ler’, as the locals call it).

The first rubber tree planted in Malaysia can be found in Kuala Kangsar.
