Kulim
Kulim is where the Tunku became an assistant district officer. This is where he spent his time getting to know the villagers and helping them with the issues they faced. The Merdeka Clock Tower is located here; it was built to commemorate the Malaysian independence day.
The groundbreaking ceremony was officiated by Tunku, who was chief minister of the Federated States of Malaya at the time. The tower has the words “Merdeka 1957” etched on all sides.
Other places of interest in Kulim include historical buildings such as the Nattukkotai Nagaraththar Sri Thandayuthapani Temple and Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
For nature lovers, there is also the Sungai Sedim Recreational Forest, where you can go on a hike or canopy walk, or even have a picnic. You can also try your hand at whitewater rafting and kayaking.
