Tanjung Karang - Historic Building

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.
