Malim Nawar, Perak (19 October 2018)
Malim Nawar (GPS: 4.35803, 101.12185) is a small town in central Perak. It is located 12 km to the north of Kampar, 25 km to the south of Batu Gajah and 34 km to the south of Ipoh. According to Kinta Valley: Pioneering Malaysia's Modern Development (page 153), Malim Nawar was named after Sheikh Haji Junus, a 19th century Muslim religious teacher from Sumatra. The name only came about when the place became a railway stop in the early 20th century. The Perak Hydro company built a small steam station there. And as with other small towns in Perak, Malim Nawar was transformed by tin mining.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
