Japanese Carbide Chimney, Malim Nawar, Perak (19 October 2018)


Japanese Carbide Chimney (GPS: 4.34777, 101.12408) is the remains of a Japanese Occupation-era ammunition factory in Malim Nawar, Perak. Located in Kampong Tanjong Bangkong, the chimney dates from the construction of the factory in 1943.¹. The factory was built by the Nippon Nitrogen Kaisha to supply the Japanese military with explosives. At one time, it used to employ 400 workers, mostly locals from the area. Today the chimney is all that is left of the factory, and they stand incongruously within the Malay kampong

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
