We’ve heard of private planes, private yachts…what about private ferries?

There was once an article (back in 1960s) which talked about a road trip. It is said that while passing through Slim River (before heading towards Kampar), there is a branch road at Teluk Anson (not Teluk Intan). About 3 km upon taking this branch road, you would notice a sign which says “Tronoh Mines“. A private road would then lead you to the famous mines leased by none other than Towkay Foo Choo Choon. This private road eventually brings you to a small stream with a ferry – as seen in the picture below. (read more about this ferry here).
