Rocks of Tanjung Batu Nisan

The rocky cape of Tanjung Batu Nisan or Cape of the Tombstone Rock is a popular snorkeling and dive spot of the Perhentian Kecil Island. Its name most probably came from the tombstone like rock which is lying dangerously at the edge of a cliff there.


RIP...

Segamat Railway Station

The old and faithful Segamat Railway station is located
 conveniently beside the town's new transport terminal.
It's future as a main mode of transport stands  bright
with future double tracking and electrification project
after the completion of the Seremban to Gemas tracks.




A view of the old Segamat Railway bridge build by the British in 1933,
this 43m Steel Pratt Girder Type bridge
is still in use till today but its future is at stake
when the double tracking continues south.

Romantic Beach of Perhentian Kecil Island

Romantic Beach as the name goes is one very beautiful and secluded beach
which will promise an unforgettable romance of a life time,
that's provided you bring your partner along.
Situated on the western side of the Perhentian Kecil Island and
is accessible by taxi boat or by a 30 minutes walk.









The 30 minutes walk from Long Beach in Pulau Perhentian Kecil
first through the path leading to Coral Bay and then turning right when you see the electrical pole number 50 up the 100m hill where the two Wind Turbine are located and then after going around the fence and passing the peak with a breathtaking view of Telok Kerma and its jetty,continue walking along the path down the hill.

The elevation of the climb.


This is where to take the turn and a long uphill walk from pole 50 to 1.


and follow the poles up the hill,notice the soil erosion is quite bad here.


A signboard at the fence of the Wind Turbine.


The collapsed jetty and Telok Kerma,a diving spot at the far end.


The fragile ecosystem of this small island looks threatened
with soil erosion cause by the access road to the Wind Turbine from the Romantic Beach below
and corals will choke and die when this soil flows down to the beach as muddy water.



A path to D lagoon for those who prefer walking than the 5 minutes taxi boat.




This was the landing area for the barge for the Wind Turbine and Solar panels installation work.
