#9 It is the best time teller for the residents,
as it will chime twice every 15 minutes. |
 |
| #10 The mechanism of the clock |
There is a fusion between Asian and Western design on Leaning Tower. Check out the clock hung on top of the building. It was made by J.W.Benson from London.
It totally blended in and its' oddity has spiced up the Chinese elements design tower with western ‘feel’ in it!
#11 J.W.Benson's Pocket Watch
James William Benson (1870 - 1930) was a well known watchmaker. He was the the watch (especially Pocket Watch) and clock trader in London. His manufacture was located at Hill called "The Steam Factory". Therefore, J.W.Benson's clock was chosen to be hung on the tower.
# 12 J.W.Benson's antique pocket watch
Until today, J.W. Benson's name was still used in modern watch and the price range of the watches, included the antique J.W.Benson's pocket was start from UK£ 600, which is FROM RM2 920!
 |
# 13 You may make a wish at the wishing well! Well,
throw some money in and wait for the miracle! |
At the ground floor, there is a wishing well and also pictures displayed about the history of Leaning Tower on the wall.
It was said that the water in the well was polluted. Therefore, the water tank was built to supply water to the residents.
 |
| # 14 |
It was stated that, a Chinese contractor named Leong Choon Chong built the pagoda-style structure in year 1885.
 |
| # 15 |
It was a beacon to guide ships into Teluk Intan Port during those days and to store water.
And the local people contributed toward the cost of the building itself.
 |
| #16 The staircase |
Let’s go to the second floor! The staircase is very steep!
 |
| #17 We are falling down! |
 |
#18 View from 2nd floor |
 |
| # 19 |
There was a pulley stone at the second floor connected from the water tank.
 |
#20 Remember the post for photo!
|
After taking 110 steps, we have finally reached the top of the tower.
 |
| #21 The water tank |
There was a water tank at the top of the tower. It was built about 120 years ago to supply water to the residents during drought season. Besides, it also supplies water in case of fire as the absence of fire brigade at that time.
 |
#22
|
The hole in the middle of the water tank allowed the workers to climb up and treat the water with chlorine.
You must be wondering, WHY IS THE TOWER LEANED?
This is due to the uneven ground settlement 4 years after the building was built.
The building itself is made of bricks and woods and the soft ground on the base of the tower could not support the weight of the water tank.
Therefore, the tower is slanted leftward and tilts towards Southeast.
And today, the slanting became the main attraction of this tower!
 |
#23 Us!
|
Now is the moment of truth! Let us reveal the secret of this building to you!
 |
#24 It should be 8 storeys as what
the picture has been shown!! |
The structure of the leaning tower is impressive and amazing. What you see from the outside is not what you think how it was!
Drums roll.
 |
#25 Have a look on the engineering structure
drawing of leaning tower. |
The structure gives the appearance comprising of 8 different levels but it is actually the illusion of the roof with the design of Chinese culture “Pagoda”.
So, it looks like an 8 storeys building but it was only 3 storeys and each storey is 5 meters tall!
Lesson learnt: DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!
Of course, this is not the end of our journey!There is another “MUST DO” when you’re here – The night view of Leaning Tower.
 |
#26 Remember the day view of Leaning Tower! |
 |
#27 The souvenir shop that is located
opposite the Leaning Tower. |
While waiting for the charming night scene of Leaning Tower, you may go to the souvenir shop.
 |
| #28 |
And have your dinner at the well-known “Glutton Square’.
At sharp 7pm, magical transformation in Leaning Tower! Grab your camera now!
 |
| #29 Lights shine on Leaning Tower |
7 RAINBOW colours available: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet will shine on Leaning Tower.
 |
| # 30 The beauty of Leaning Tower! |
It changes every 3 seconds!
Trust me, the view was irreplaceable. It was something you can’t imagine that will zing up on a 120 years old structure!
 |
| #31 Footprints of Jalanism to Teluk Intan had been left. |
Do come here and witness the MALAYSIA’S LEANING TOWER now!

And if you are coming from Kuala Lumpur, go towards the direction of Kuala Selangor and you will pass through Sekinchan and Sabak Bernam.

To Dear Q: Thank you so much for your feedback, we are really appreciated it!

Wow, meraviglioso!! a informative yet a creative blog:)...
Oh ya...there are something I wish to comment about your blog...
Firstly, I found out that something lacks in the blog...the music...ya, one of the most important as it will comfort and attract the readers to read for the next posts.
For the overall, it's quite sufficient information about the leaning tower yet there is still some additional info should be added in the blog such as why they chose J.W.Benson clock for the tower and why they had built a well in the tower?...hope to see more info for the leaning tower next time...
Nice blog, keep it on jalanism!
I will go and take a look if i go teluk intan.

I never know there's a tower in perak which looks like leaning tower lol! the night view is great and i think this's an informative blog. thanks for sharing. keep it up! :)
I follow your blog since the first blog post. This post also not let me disappointed. Overall is good.
Last blog post is about the historical, this blog post is about the fun, i wonder what theme will be your next blog post? Introducing about something that is more unknown by people? I look froward to your next blog post. :)
Dear Sam:
Thank you for your feedback. We have taken in consideration of inserting music in our blog. However, the reason why we have not include the music in our blog is because we have not come to a agreement on the selection of songs. We would put it up by next thursday.
Regarding the J.W.Benson's clock, after our research, the clock was chosen because James William Benson (c1870-1930) was a well known watchmaker; watch and clock trader in London( pocket watch at that time).And until today, J W Benson name is still used on modern watches!
The water tank existed after the well in the tower because the water in the water well was polluted so they built the water tank.
Hope this satisfy your curiousity and do allow us to edit the info to share to the others in our blog.
Your feedback is appreciated and we hope that you would stay tune in out next blog post.
