Perigi Beracun, Bukit Malawati


Perigi Beracun (GPS: 3.3407, 101.24578) is a well on the slopes of Bukit Malawati in Kuala Selangor. It is one of the historic sites on Bukit Malawati. The water of the well is said to have been contaminated by the sap of the bamboo shoot that causes itchiness. In the old days, people accused of being traitors of the sultan were dropped into the well so that its water would rise to the height of their chin, causing them great distress.
