Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan, Clock tower and heritage site in Teluk Intan, Malaysia.

The three-story brick tower stands 25.5 meters tall with a noticeable tilt of 5.84 degrees from its vertical axis.

Built in 1885 during British colonial rule, the structure initially served as a water storage tank to supply the local population.

The tower incorporates Chinese pagoda design elements, reflecting the multicultural influences present in Malaysian architecture of the period.

The mechanical clock at the top of the tower remains functional and rings every fifteen minutes throughout the day.

The structure developed its tilt within four years of construction due to the uneven settling of its foundation in soft ground.
