Lumut Waterfront
Out And About
Fact:
Lumut is home to the Royal
Malaysian Navy.
L umut in Perak, Malaysia; is a coastal town and a
gateway to holiday and sports fishing spots such as the
Sembilan Islands (Nine Islands), Jarak Island, and Pan-
gkor Island; a holiday destination. Being a gateway it
has for long acted as a transit point but there are places
that one can visit in Lumut itself.

Photography
Those who enjoy photography will have a field
day photographing structures, sculptures, wild-
life, boats, etc. Along the waters edge. There
is also a large old Navy ship called KD Rahmat
that has been docked there for years.
15
This ship (KD Rahmat) is a maritime
museum called the KD Rahmat Mari-
time Museum, that visitors can visit.
It also gives the area character and
makes for good photos. Lumut is not
just any coastal town. It is also home
to one of Malaysias Navy bases..

Monkeys
There are also monkeys (long tail
macaques) that hang about it the
mangrove. While they may be cute,
they are wild animals and the ones
here are not afraid of humans. They
even try to snatch things off anyone
who is not careful.

M any would have heard
of the Leaning Tower Of
Pisa. Many would have
gone there too. But not
many know that there is
a leaning tower in Malay-
sia. This leaning tower sits
at the main square of the
Teluk Intan town, a coastal
town in Perak, Malaysia.
It is the Leaning Tower Of
Teluk Intan.
47
Some H i s t o r y
The tower was built back as a water tank and
storehouse back in 1885 under the guidance
of contractor and philanthropist, Leong Choon
Chong. This pagoda tower became a landmark
and a meeting place for the people here.
Hi s t o r y O n T h e
Walls...
49
During World War II (1941 to 1945) the British
wanted to demolish the tower as they were afraid
that the Japanese would use it as a bombing
landmark but due to the protests of the locals
that didnt happen. Later on the Japanese took
over the tower and it became a watch tower. It
was damaged during the war and was rebuilt.

L ooking for a lovely beach to get away to when in Lu-
mut? There is a rather secluded beach called Teluk Senan-
gin Beach that is popular with the locals but not well known
enough to pull throngs of visitors from out of state or town.

Sanc
O ne of the places to visit
is the Segari Turtle Sanctuary
in Lumut. It is located at a re-
mote beach in Pasir Panjang.
Here the sanctuary under the
Fisheries Department, focus-
es on conservation with the
aim of preventing them from
going extinct and improving
their population.
73
The Segari Turtle Sanctuary monitors the
beaches especially during the season when
turtles come up to lay eggs. The eggs are col-
lected and moved to a hatchery where they can
hatch safely away from ants, monitor lizards,
and people that collect eggs to be eaten and
sold at the market as food.
75
After hatching the hatchlings are placed into
pools to improve their survival rates as many
turtles perish out at sea being eaten by preda-
tors, or having eat wrong things like plastics,
and also due to the harsh environment. As
these turtles grow they are transferred into dif-
ferent pools until they are ready to be released
back into the sea.
77
^ Educational boards teaches visitors about turtles.
A Must Visit
The Segari Turtle Sanctuary is a place one must
visit when one is in Lumut. One thing though is that
mobile services seem to be a problem around the
area and Google Maps may not work. So, it is best
to study the map carefully before heading there.
Also, do bring along drinking water should you de-
cide to spend a longer period of time there.
Operation Hours
Mondays to Sundays:
10am to 12.30pm and 2pm to 5pm.
Fridays:

> Shot of the waterfall at night.
H olidays and vacations are
taken to help get ones mind
off the daily grind. But holidays
are not just about sitting back,
letting ones hair down, and
do nothing, although doing
so can make for an excellent
holiday too. Fun recreational
activities help create better
memories too, adding plenty
of fun and excitement to ones
holiday. Swiss-Garden Beach
Resort Damai Laut offers lots
of fun things to do.
83
Swiss-Garden Beach Resort
Damai Laut is a family friendly
holiday destination with plenty
of activities for all in the fam-
ily. While parents sit back and
read books or do more adven-
turous activities like riding an
ATV, or jungle trekking; chil-
dren can hangout at the Kids
Club, paint batik, etc.
Here are some fun activities
that can be had.

This allows for a more adventurous swim that
perhaps appeal to children, as they go swim-

and go dolphining under the splashes of the
waterfall.

Those who love arcade machines will have a
field day feeding coins to these machines here.
All time favourite games like street fighter and
various shooting games are available. Should
one prefer a quieter game on a large table;
snooker is an option.
95
^ Snooker, a fun and challenging game.
97
Batik painting is a fun way to
help children (and adults) ex-
ercise their creative side even
when on holidays and is avail-
able here at the Kids Club with
a few designs to choose from.
But should one decide to just
do colouring or painting rocks
instead of batik, that can be
done too.
103
Another reason why I prefer
fishing here at the jetty is be-
cause it is quiet and away from
the crowd... in another words,
peace and tranquility.
105
Great Place For...
k i n g C l a m s
Pic
The beach here is famous for
clams. With a bucket in hand,
one can go about picking
clams. These clams can be
boiled and eaten. Should you
decide to do so, do wash them
well as they live in the sandy
bottom of the beach and thus
contain bits of sand. Clams
can also be used as bait for
fishing.
107

Archery can be a dangerous activity and as
such; do follow the instructions of the instruc-
tors and adhere to the rules to ensure any un-
toward accidents are avoided.
113
Fun Rides
ATV Th
rill s
115
ATV rides are plenty of fun and something
that I highly recommend. Note too that
it can be dangerous and ATVs are real
vehicles and must be handled with care.
Obey all instructions given and stick to
the route for safety reasons.ine.
117
Jet Ski Rides
After zipping about on land
in an ATV, why not zip about
on water. Jet Skis are lots of
fun. They are like ATVs but on
water. They are fast on wa-
ter too allowing one to enjoy
the wind in ones face as well
as splashes of water. As with
all crafts that goes fast; it is
important to adhere to safety
rules.
119
Banana Boat
Ride
Another thrilling fast ride is
one on a banana boat being
towed by a motorboat. Hold
on tight as the banana boat
zips on the water going over
waves creating a bouncy thrill-
ing fun ride as one gets wet
from splashes of seawater. It
is a ride one must experience
to feel the thrill and exhilara-
tion of a boat that is named
after a fruit.
121
Kayaking
If speed is not your thing perhaps canoeing will
be. Canoeing about Remis Beach (the beach
that the resort is built on) is fun. One gets to
takes ones time and slowly row about the area.
Another fun thing that I like to do when canoe-
ing and kayaking is to chase and ride the waves
back to shore.
123
Islan d H o p p i n g
Island hopping is one of the must do activi-
ties when one visits a beach resort such as
the Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Damai Laut.
Exploring some of the islands around the area
having fun and shooting photos is a good way
to capture the moments.

Superb Dining
Experience
It is nice to dine in beautifully dec-
orated and luxurious restaurants
once in a while when one is on a
holiday. And when we dine is such
places, the ambience of the place
add points to the experience.
What if you want something really
special and away from the crowd?
We had a wonderful dining experi-
ence at the Swiss-Garden Beach
Resort Damai Laut in Lumut, Per-
ak recently.
137
Away From The
Crowd
Being an angler I tend to look out
for places to go fishing at espe-
cially when I am on holiday. On my
recent visit to the Swiss-Garden
Beach Resort Damai Laut with
my family, special arrangements
were made and I had the opportu-
nity to dine and fish at the resorts
private jetty; and yes, we dined in
private too.
139
Safe & Secure
The private jetty of the resort is used to send
guests of the resort to Pangkor Island. It is a
wooden floating platform linked to land by a
concrete bridge. It has railings along its sides
except for the areas where the boats are se-
cured to. This helps keep people from falling
over and into the river.
141
Nice Place For Fun
Fishing
Being a jetty it is a safe and fun
place to do some fun fishing. We
caught a good number of fish-
es such as scads and threadfin
breams on apollo rigs. I used one
of them as live-bait but missed the
incoming tide (best tide to fish).
The best time to fish is when the
tide comes in. This brings more
fish such as barramundis into the
river. They swim past the jetty as
they make their way back in.
143
Dining Like VIPs
Want to feel like a VIP? We
certainly did feel like VIPs as
we dined at the jetty while
our fishing rods waited for a
fish to bite. We were the only
ones there apart from the F&B
staffs, the chef, and security.
The jetty was decorated with
lanterns that created a warm
romantic atmosphere.
145
The chef cooked on site pre-
paring awesome Italian cui-
sine that we ordered earlier.
We were given cold towels
to cool off as dinner started
to be served beginning with
a tasty mushroom room soup
in a bun, followed by the main
course, and ending with des-
sert.
147
Superb Dining Experie
ence Everything served was deli-
cious and the atmosphere of
the jetty, the special feeling
one gets when being pam-
pered in a place away from
the crowd makes the experi-
ence so very good, I cannot
find words good enough to
explain. It is the best dining
experience ever. Should you
visit the Swiss-Garden Beach
Resort, Damai Laut; I highly
recommend this dining expe-
rience called Fish & Feast
especially when you want to
impress that special some-
one.
153
Otak-Otak
Otak-otak is a local delicacy made
of chili, curry, fish, etc. wrapped
in a leaf. Otak-otak is rather com-
mon these days; mostly wrapped
in a palm leaf, and barbecued. I
prefer the original steamed Nyo-
nya type but these days they are
hard to come by. Restaurant Kopi
Aik Hooi is one place where one
can find the original Teochew style
otak-otak that is also steamed,
and the taste is heavenly.
155
Restaurant Kopi Aik Hooi has
more to offer other than those stat-
ed. They also have packed nasi
lemak (fragrant rice with chili),
economy fried beehoon (vermi-
celli), noodles, dumpling noo-
dles (wantan noodles), porridge,
prawn noodles, etc. Do drop by
for a meal should you be in Lumut
Waterfront.
