THE historic Ban Canal in Sabak Bernam, Selangor, a lifeline for padi farmers since the colonial era, is now the centrepiece of a growing eco-tourism initiative that promotes tradition, nature and sustainability in the district.
The canal, known locally as “Bangkenal,” was originally built through a collaborative effort between villagers and the British administration, serving as an essential irrigation system for the surrounding padi fields from Tanjong Karang to Sabak Bernam.
