Teluk Intan is Perak’s third largest town. From its name (translated as “Diamond Bay” in English), one may think that it is, in fact, a bay. But actually, the town was founded around a meander of the Perak River and only looks like it’s near a bay.

People familiar with Teluk Intan – previously called Teluk Anson – will also know the Menara Condong, an old leaning clock tower.
