On the way from KL to Ipoh, we dropped by Tanjung Tualang to visit this last tin dredge of Malaysia.
Tanjung Tualang Tin Dredge is a unique relic from Malaysia’s tin mining heydays. TT5 was in operation for 44 years until 1982 by which time the Malaysian tin industry was in rapid decline due to a combination of exhausted tin deposits, low tin prices and high operating costs.
