Conservation work on historical Slim River Bridge starting by year end


TANJONG MALIM: The process of salvaging historical traces related to the British-Japanese 'Battle of Slim' military exchange during World War Two from the recently collapsed Old Slim River Bridge will be carried out by the end of the year.

Malaya Historical Group (MHG) chairman Shaharom Ahmad said parts of the structure, including bullet markings found on the bridge, will be placed at the Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) National Education Museum. The rest will be placed about 500m from the original location for the public to view.
