Kuala Sepetang (Port Weld)

Kuala Sepetang (originally Port Weld) is a fishing village in Perak amidst the Matang Mangrove. The first railway in Malaysia was built in 1855 from Port Weld to Taiping.




Other than fishing, another industry is charcoal production. Here you can see the prized mangrove (bakau minyak) stacked outside waiting to be placed in the kilns for the baking process.
