These four pillbox in front of Kuantan RMAF Airbase
are actually build after the war,probably during the Malayan Emergency.

The second Pillbox.

The third is just beside the parking of the standby Nuri(Sikorsky S-61A-4) helicopter.

The fourth is between the entrance of the Airbase and the mosque.

This hidden and sand covered pillbox on the third beach of Teluk Chempedak

is one which nearly got away thanks to a tip from my brother who have heard of it

but have not seen it even after having a picnic on that very beach.

I think it must be fully covered by sand then.

Nice place to put a permanent marking,

a Survey Department marking on top of the pillbox
something which withstood 70 years

of pounding by the encroaching sea waves.

A small fresh water lake behind the pillbox.
