This is the Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan, a Chinese-style clock tower that was built in the 19th century during the colonial era
Formerly known as Teluk Anson in Perak, the brick-and-wood building is slightly slanted northwest, making it the Malaysian equivalent of the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.
The pagoda design was heavily inspired by Chinese architecture, as the majority of townsfolk at that time was Chinese
The tower was built in 1885 by Chinese contractor Leong Choon Chong, and local residents had contributed to buy the clock from JW Benson of Ludgatehill, London.
Taman Melawati, also known as just Melawati, is a mature neighbourhood set amid hills and lush greenery. Located in Ulu Kelang, it may not be the first place that comes to mind when you are looking for a spot to hang out with your friends or family. Unlike the trendier Mont’Kiara, Bangsar and Kuala Lumpur city centre, Melawati is more tranquil and lacks the bustle of activity found in the more popular areas. But that does not make it any less attractive.
According to VPC Alliance Sdn Bhd managing director James Wong, Melawati was previously a rubber plantation named Hawthornton Estate. Development of the township, the first by Negara Properties (M) Bhd, began in the 1970s. The developer is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sime Darby Property Bhd.
