Leaning Tower of Anson
Step Aside Pisa... here comes the Leaning Tower of Anson 
This clock tower was build in 1885, is about 120 years now during the british colonial times.
It was known as the High Clock Tower previously. But as it starts to tilt towards the northwest, it gained notoriety as the most famous leaning tower this side of the world.
It is situated in the town formerly knows as Teluk Anson in honour of the then Colonial Governor of the Straits Settlement in 1879-1880, Archibald E.H. Anson. Now it is called Teluk Intan.
The tower is 85ft (25.5m) high and it was first buildt as a water tower. This tower has served for multiple different purposes, where during the World War II, it was used as a watch tower.
