Last surviving tin dredge TT5 receives IMechE award from UK


The Tanjung Tualang Tin Dredge No. 5.

BATU GAJAH: The iconic heritage of Tanjung Tualang Tin Dredge No 5 (TT5) became the first tin mining dredger in this country and in the world to receive an award from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) United Kingdom.

State infrastructure, energy, water and public transport committee chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin said the recognition was a source of pride for Perak and Malaysia because the TT5 was the first dredger to be recognised by the engineering body which had so far given out 137 awards around the world.
