🔥Tanjong Malim: A Town Forged by Time, War, and Triumph!
🏹Bugis warriors built a mighty fortress along Sungai Bernam, standing tall against the Perak Sultanate. Though the stronghold vanished, Tanjong Malim thrived, welcoming Malay refugees, Chinese settlers, and Indian plantation workers, each leaving their mark on its legacy.
💥World War II came roaring in!
The Japanese invasion struck with ferocity, seizing Tanjong Malim in a brutal campaign. The iconic Sultan Idris Teachers’ Training College (1922)—a beacon of knowledge—was turned into an execution ground. The town bled, but it never broke.
🩸One of Malaya’s bloodiest battles raged here. Lives were lost, but the spirit of Tanjong Malim remained unshaken.
