The Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan is a tilted clock tower erected in 1885 in Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia, designed in the Chinese architectural style. Standing 25.5 meters high, the structure externally appears as an eight-storey building but is internally divided into three storeys. Originally constructed as a water tower, it also functions as a clock tower and has become Malaysia's counterpart to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Designated a national historic building of Malaysia, the tower exemplifies the multicultural architectural heritage of colonial-era Malaya.
