In the journey back to Sungai Rengit, we passed by Pengerang Kampung Jawa old town. We stopped for a while to take some photos. Apart from that, I tried to chat with the locals to know more about Pengerang.
Kampung Jawa old town is located not far away from Pengelih Marina Jetty. It was coincidentally that a couple and their son who had committed suicide were from Kampung Jawa. The incident was led by poverty and relocation ordered by government.
After breakfast we proceeded to Sungai Lembing Museum to explore the history of Sungai Lembing.
Sungai Lembing Museum is under the administration of Museum Negara. The establishment of Sungai Lembing Museum was in memory of the underground tin mining in Sungai Lembing.
Sungai Lembing Museum is located on a hill slope and it's not far from Sungai Lembing town. You can walk to the museum from Sungai Lembing town. It only takes you a few minutes.
Pahang Consolidated Company Limited (PCCL), a tin mine company managed by British from 1906 to 1986. This company possessed the biggest and deepest underground tin mine in the world.
When getting into the museum as if returned to the old time of Sungai Lembing.
This was the entrance of the underground tin mine. The stuff at the outside of the entrance was the carriage for carrying tin ore.
Panning or dulang washing is the oldest method of tin mining. Normally female workers are involved in this field.
Based on the information shown on the bulletin board in the museum, government only issued permit for female workers to do dulang washing.
Beyond that, there are other methods of tin mining include dredging, open cast, gravel pump and underground tin mining.
Hang out around Volendam fishing village after lunch at De Koe Restaurant.
There are quite many cafes in Volendam fishing village. Stop at a cafe to find out the price of the coffee. Aiyoyo! The price of cheapest coffee was 6 Euro.
We proceeded to another cafe. I am not familiar with the name of the coffee. So I just pointed at the menu to the waitress. Shortly, the waitress served a glass of fragrant and colorful coffee.
I sipped the coffee. Wow! The coffee was truly tasteful and aromatic. Looked at the menu again, the glass of coffee was latte macchiato. The price of this glass of latte macchiato is 2.5 Euro.
During our holiday trip to Sekinchan, we visited Sekinchan PLS Marketing Rice Mill. The rice mill is a paddy processing factory which allows tourists to visit.
Get ready the paddy first before milling. After that the paddy will be put into the machine for milling.
After milling, the husk will be separated from the rice. The ready milled rice will drop into this vessel.
A plastic bag is used to collect the rice from this outlet of the milling machine. The rice then is sent for packaging.
The outermost layer of the paddy grain is the rice husk. After separating from the rice grain the husk is collected in this big black bucket.
The old rice mill machine is for displaying to visitors. You can see the process of the paddy being milled.
This is the new rice mill machine used by the plant. Comparing to the old milling machine, this new machine is truly different.
Malaysian Nature Society is organizing Raptor Watch 2013 at Malacca Tanjung Tuan on March 9 to 10.
(This photo was taken last year)
During March last year, my wife and I went to Tanjung Tuan. Apart from meeting the lighthouse again, I shot a few photos of the flying raptors.
Sadly, I failed to capture any clear photo of the raptors because I couldn't afford lens for bird photography.
This is the entrance to the lighthouse. Actually you can drive in but public are no allow to do so.
Remember to bring umbrella to shelter yourself from sun and rain. The umbrella can be use to chase away monkeys which are asking for food from the visitors.
Tanjung Tuan (Cape Rachado) is located in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Port Dickson is the nearest town from Tanjung Tuan. It's
around 17 km to 20 km driving distance from Port Dickson to Tanjung Tuan.
Although Tanjung Tuan is in Negeri Sembilan but it's the territory of Malacca. About 55 km away from Malacca city, Tanjung Tuan is a cape facing Strait of Malacca.
Tracing back the history of Tanjung Tuan, it has to relate to the naval battle between Dutch and Portuguese during 1606.
After the fall of Malacca Sultanate, Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah II established Johor Sultanate. Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah II is the son of Malacca Sultanate last sultan, Sultan Mahmud Shah.
For recapturing Malacca, Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah II attacked Malacca frequently. Sultan of Johor also signed allied treaty with Dutch to oppose Portuguese. In 1606, Dutch and Sultan of Johor battled with Portuguese in the sea near Port Dickson.
Portuguese captured Malacca in 1511. A lighthouse was built at Tanjung Tuan to guide the ships passing through Strait of Malacca.
After being colonized by Portuguese, Dutch, British and Japanese, the lighthouse still remained on the hill at Tanjung Tuan.
