The border town of Tanjong Malim
This is the usual stopping point for express buses plying the old Highway 1 from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh! Is it because of its mid point position? after the winding stretches at Kuala Kubu Baharu? or at the state boundry? All these factors has become obsolete and irrelevant!
| This
specially designed stone marker greets visitor travelling
along Ferderal Route 1 to the Perak state. An enlarged
bus terminal now lies just beside the stone marker. Express buses going to destinations of Ipoh and beyond do not stop in Tanjong Malim anymore! While those destined for nearer towns of Bidor and Tapah have new rest places out of town! |

The main street in town partitioned at some stretches! The interstate and intercities traffic passed through this compulsory junctions that made this frontier town a bustling site. |

| The town is spreaded on both flanks of the main road. The original wooden shacks on one side and newer robust square block on the other! There are far too much buildings in a sparsely populated town. |  |
Compared to many other towns Tanjong Malim appeared deserted. The disappearances of passing through traffic had removed the sole reason for the towns prosperity!

This old "Rex" theatre that still retain the old "Shaw Brothers" logo on its roof is eveident of the better days. Its neglected state has also shown that the revival of the big screen has yet to reach this far out enclave! |
Sharing the trend happening in all established towns, new surburbs are been created. In Tanjong Malim, there are few, slow in being created and relatively small in numbers!
