British WW2 Pillbox in Penang (part 1)

Penang have quite a number of  remnants from World War 2
leftover  by the British and locals too
which are located all over the island
and here are photos of some that i took.
We start off with these two British WW2 pillbox at Kampung Permatang Damar Laut
which is situated at the end of the Penang Airport runway.



Pillbox no:1 is beside a very nice jetty and is partly submerged.









 And Pillbox no:2 is by the fence of the airport.








Linkin Park was here?



Tranquility at the fishing village.







A MAS plane landing.

    Kamsiah,
    Damai tak damai saya tak tahulah,
    tapi saya perhatikan ramai nelayan di Penang terpaksa berpindah ketempat baru kerana masalah tanah yg mereka duduk sekian lama bukan milik mereka.Kemungkinan berpunca dari negeri ini,Singapore dan Melaka berada dlm jajahan Straits Settlements dulu kala

    These shots are beautiful. And what a magical setting for the old pill boxes - such a surprise to see them here on the beach.
