Batu Tenggek

Another attraction in Teluk Intan is the 'Batu Tenggek' (Sitting Boulder) which is situated at a junction in the town centre. The rock was believed to be placed by a British soldier and was a size of a matchbox. Over the years, the small rock grew bigger until it reached the size of a boulder. Upon closer inspection, crystal-like substances can be seen throughout the rock's surface. As crystals have expanding properties, this might explain the growing nature of the stone. This boulder is now part of a local war memorial built to commemorate World War I and World War II. The pedestal on which the historial object rests upon bears a line from Laurence Binyon's famous poem, For the Fallen :

At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
