      The leaning tower of the East at Teluk Intan (Anson Bay). The tower square is an open public area where there are no fees for visiting. To avoid any crowd, best to come here during the sunrise and just after sunset. Its brightly lit around dusk and looks more stunning in the dark. It is 25 m (82 ft) and, from the outside, looks like an 8 storey building, though inside it is actually divided into 3 storeys. The tower, still function as the Clock Tower (till today at 15m intervals), was built to store water during the dry season, in case of fire as well as to keep time. Was also used as a watch tower during the Japanese occupation of Malaya during WWII. The pagoda like design structure is influenced heavily by the architect. It was designed and built by a local, Leong Choon Chong in 1885 but was claimed by a Briton, Neol Danison. The reason why the tower leans is the soft ground on which it was built, as well as the weight of the water in the water tank, which causes it to lean towards the southwest.
