BRIEFING ON THE TT5 - THE LAST OLD DREDGE OF KINTA
why:
theStar today
highlights the dangerous tilt of
the dredge TT5 in Tanjong Tualang,
“Perak’s heritage dredge”.
Now, national interest is piqued.
As the pontoon which floats the dredge is leaking,
its private management company is
experiencing maintenance and financial problems.
As a result, TT5 may simply fall over.
It threatens to collapse into a twisted mess of steel.
That’s complete destruction of this industrial heritage!
Come learn about the history of TT5 and
the unpublished fact on the dredge’s deterioration and
the hands which failed.
Mr Stephen Ng, manager ofTT5,
will be present at our briefing to answer your questions.
can anyone else come along?
Do invite members of PHS you are in touch with.
who else?
Anyone who has an interest in saving the dredge
for its significance to Perak heritage.
Non-members and heritage-friendly people are welcome.

So sad to hear that.. HOpe that the museum department will take note of this matter. Or else, not only Perak heritage is gone, but big piece of Malaysia heritage and history will be gone forever… After all it was Tin that made Malaysia (Malaya then)well known.

Does anyone know what happened at this meeting. Are they going to save the dredge. Surely they cannot let this piece of heritage just rot away!
