Old Trains of Malaya (part 1)

There are quite a number of old trains on display around Malaysia
and i will try to document it here  beginning with
the trains displayed at the Army Museum in Port Dickson.
564-12 Alor Gajah a steam locomotive from the FMSR Class O
and an armoured train which is used to guard the railway service
from the communist during the emergency period begining 1948 till 1960.

A monument to  honour our fallen heroes.

The Armoured Wickham Trolley on display with the FMSR emblem.

Tanjung Bidara Beach

Tanjung Bidara Beach in Malacca not far from Masjid Tanah
and beside the Terendak Army camp
is one of the few natural beach left
with all the reclamation works around Malacca seafront
and there were talks of further works
to extend the coastal road right till the Negeri Sembilan border,
that's how crazy things can go
and an environmental disaster in the making.
Already right now the remaining coast have been badly eroded
partly cause by extraction of sand offshore.

A jetty which serve no purpose except to beautify the beach.











The Al-Khawarizmi Astronomy Complex at Tanjung Bidara.



A popular seaside village food stall in front of the Lodge D'ambang Sore Batu Tenggek - Lempeng
which only opens in the evening.



Bidara Beach Lodge ,a small quiet motel at Kampung Pasir Gembur
 is my place of stay here.



These rocks and the stories of the waters  next to it
will be the topic of my next post.

Rocks of Kuala Abang

The rocks of Kuala Abang or better known as 'Batu Pelanduk' by the locals
is the only big piece of rocky beach  from Teluk Bidara right up to the Fishing Port at Cendering
near Kuala Terengganu.

This i think is why the locals call it the 'Batu Pelanduk' or Mouse deer Rock,
from this shot it does look like one in a sitting position.
