Reminder of Japanese occupation


Crossing the Kuantan River on the bridge from Kuantan Town on the road to Kuala Lumpur, at Jalan Gambang, one will not notice the gun placement pillar box unless one stops and go down to the river bank on the right, in front of the existing eating stalls, close to the boat cruise jetty. From there one can prominently sees it. But if one goes on the Kuantan River Cruise one will not help but notice it when one goes under that Kuantan River bridge. Its there, left unrepaired but seemed to be maintained in considerable good condition.
Its part of our Malaysian history, also the history of Pahang State, though one may wish to forget that part of our history where the Japanese committed quite a number of atrocities to our people when they were in occupation in Malaya then.
