Historic Building
There is an old historic building left without care by any party which is located at Kg Sungai Kajang. It is believed that the building was at one time a palm sugar processing plant and built during the colonial period. During the Second World War, the factory was captured and used as a Japanese military base. There are some effects of the ravages of battle that can still be seen up to now. Today, only a small portion of the structure is still maintained while almost the entire plant has been destroyed, whether caused by agriculture or land development.

Famous quotes containing the words historic and/or building:
“Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity. What we call “history” by no means represents the sum total of all significant deeds.... World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“People do not know the natural infirmity of their mind: it does nothing but ferret and quest, and keeps incessantly whirling around, building up and becoming entangled in its own work, like our silkworms, and is suffocated in it: a mouse in a pitch barrel.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
