Teluk Intan in Perak has a special place in my heart. It was here that I started my career in the civil service as a Labour Officer in early 1981. It was a small and relatively quiet town back then.
It was formerly known as Teluk Anson, named after General Archibald Anson who was once the District Officer of Hilir Perak. In 1982, the name changed to Teluk Intan because in the past, the place was called “Teluk Mak Intan” after a female Mandailing trader.
