Balik Pulau Town

12Meaning “behind the Island” it boasts of clove and nutmeg, durian with well known and well sought varieties, and rubber estates. These are the heritage of the Hakka community's sweat and blood plus a drinking fountain donated by Koh Seang Tat in 1882 palced in the centre of the town. The old but beautiful Catholic church reminds one of the British presence where the District Land Office building, built at around 1880, housed the post and telegraph.
