Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia

Went to Teluk Intan last weekend and took a picture of the Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan. According to Wikipedia, the Leaning Tower was built in 1885 and it started to tilt 4 years later due to an underground stream running under it. The tower was used to store water and supplies it to the surrounding areas. There is also a clock which rings every 15 minutes and ships used the tower as a beacon into Teluk Intan Port. Currently, the tower no longer holds water and it serves as a tourist attraction and reports time to the townfolk of Teluk Intan.
