KOTA BARU: Erosion has washed away the remains of a fort along the coast here, regarded as the first landing site of the Japanese forces in Malaya in 1941.

Malaysian Historical Society member Sarapa Ismail, 48, said the remains of the fort had sunk due to coastal erosion, especially in Pantai Kuala Pak Amat, Sabak.
