Pentagon shaped Pillbox of Tanjung Punai

The strategically located British WW2 Pillbox
near Tanjung Punai at the confluence of Kuantan and Belat river
was left frozen in time for the past 77 years
and known only to anglers and villager staying nearby
but eluded history enthusiast
until a local posted in a facebook page.

 

before and after a small cleanup of fern and a fallen mangrove tree,
hope to  remove those on the roof in my next visit.











The 17th British WW2 Pillbox in Kuantan photographed so far,
build for the swampy area which will be flooded at high tide
with a four steps stairway down into the pillbox after climbing up
the ~1.5 meter wall.
