Clocktowers in Malaysia

Clock Towers in Malaysia (10 October 2022)


As you travel across Malaysia, you will discover clock towers in almost every town and city. The majority were built around the time of Independence, when many small towns have new clock towers built to commemorate the occasion. There are also older clock towers in the major cities of Malaysia. These were built in the early 20th century or 19th century, by wealthy benefactors as well by the British. Fewer clock towers are built nowadays, as most people now own watches and can tell time without the need to refer to a clock tower.

Listed on this page are the clock towers in the Federal Territories as well as in the States of Malaysia.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
