Sungai Lembing | Sg Lembing Town

Sungai Lembing is a small town located in Kuantan district, Pahang. It is located about 42 km (26 miles) northwest of Kuantan and has 1001 mining history since 1906. Around the 1900s, Sungai Lembing, which is also known the Eastern El Dorado, was famous for its tin mining activities when the British company, Pahang Consolidated Company Limited (PCCL) established the tin mining industry after mining activities began in 1886.

In a period of 100 years, this mine has successfully produced 13 million metric tons of rough tin ore which can produce 150,000 metric tons of tin concentrate. As a result, Sungai Lembing Town became a commercial centre and the first movie theatre in Asia and the first hospital in Pahang were also built there. However, in 1986, the price of ore began to decline to such an extent that PCCL had to stop operations and mine workers gradually left the town and migrated to other areas for survival.

Sungai Lembing Tin Mine

There are 14 tin mines around Sungai Lembing and one of the longest is Lombong Mayah which is about 355 kilometres long and 700 meters deep. This mine is underground and the deepest in the world. Lorong Mayah has an elevator structure to go to a depth of around 1400 feet which is the deepest level and shows ​​the challenges and risks of tin mining. In addition to mines, there are other metals in the same area including copper, iron, zinc and a small percentage gold.

Another famous Lorong is Lorong Sejuta which has a story involving the location of a small cave being a place for 20 miners who were doing illegal activities due to their unpaid wages.

Visitors can travel into this mine which will certainly give a unique experience where they have the opportunity to ride a mini wagon train or locomotive for 80 meters. In addition, visitors have to walk inside the mine and can see the information found on the tunnel walls. Visitors are charged RM15.90 for adults, RM7.95 (children) for local visitors while RM31.80 for adults and children (RM15.90) ​​for foreign tourists.

Now, Sungai Lembing Town has become one of the tourist destinations in Pahang in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year. This destination became a popular attraction when it became an important symbol of the beginning of Pahang’s modern history through the British colonization of Malaya. Sungai Lembing Town has been revived as a heritage tourism attraction with the opening of the Sungai Lembing Museum. Further government investment makes this area one of the important tourist attractions in Pahang.

Cameron Highlands is noted for its rolling hills, cool forest, tea plantations,and fruit and vegetable farms.

Restored to their full colonial splendor, you’ll relive the time when English lords entertained their ladies to afternoon tea parties, and held evening fireside chats, while their butlers stood ever ready to serve.  This was their escape from the heat and humidity, and it can be your escape too.

The Highlands were named after William Cameron, a British colonial government surveyor who discovered the plateau during a mapping expedition in 1885. The fame of Cameron Highlands then grew during the colonial era when British planters realised the potential of its fertile mountain slopes for growing tea, then a prized commodity. Cameron Highlands is still home to many tea plantations, being Malaysia’s largest tea-producing region. With its many farms the area is also known as a major supplier of legumes and vegetables to both Malaysia and Singapore, and is one of Malaysia’s prime tourist destinations.

TIOMAN ISLAND MUSEUM

Tioman Island Museum looks at the history of Tioman in the context of the Maritime Silk Routes that flourished for over 900 years during the 10th to the 19th centuries.

Through these waters which were the domain of Orang Laut (sea gypsies) and the Orang Lanun (pirates), sailed Arab Sambuks, Chinese Junks, Portugese carracks and caravels, Dutch galleons and British East Indiaman. They were laden with rich cargoes as they engaged in trade.

 

How To Get There

Address & Contact

 

For those early sea farers, the island’s prominent twin peaks of Nenek Semukut served as an important navigational aid for sailing through the South China Sea, while Tioman itself offered fresh waters, food and shelter from the north-east monsoon.

The ceramics and other relics discovered on Tioman and exhibited in this museum are evidence of maritime trade that once flourished and they show that Tioman served as a trading site where the spices and other natural resources of Southeast Asia could be exchanged for goods from China, India, the Middle East and Europe.

There is evidence that the island has been inhabited for at least the past millenium by a fluctuating human population. Permanent inhabitation has been confined to the coast.

The objects exhibited include 11th to 19th century trade ceramics, coins, maps and sea charts, prints and paintings, and example of the natural resources which were traded in the past. Together, they tell the story of Pulau Tioman when it served as an important link on the maritime trade routes of a by gone era.
