The first search light is right at the edge of the cape,

a great view and an excellent fishing spot too.
the second search light.
the watch tower.
the entrance of the Chinese Temple.
the old Tanjong Tokong Temple.

ReplyDeleteIt has survived more than 50 years. Should last another 50 easily. The old timers knew their buildings, we still have many old buildings standing tall. Lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteagaknya berapa lama ianya boleh bertahan, ya?..100years i guess..
