This preliminary walking tour from your place of stay in PD to the PD Waterfront has been very interesting. You seem like an explorer unearthing some interesting finds. The remnants of a railway gate at a crossing indicated there was rail service to PD. A similar piece of history of a railway gate lies at the main traffic intersection into Teluk Intan (formerly Teluk Anson) Town in Perak. A kilometre away is the railway bridge across the Bidor River that opened in 1893. A further 800 metres away is the spot where a bull elephant charged onto an oncoming train and derailed it. That was the first case of a derailment in Malaya. A monument was erected at the accident spot in memory of the bold elephant. We had two railway stations in Teluk Intan, one a Km away from the town centre and another at the riverfront wharf about 4 Kms from the town station. Fare was only 5 cents from one station to the other as a student. This was the era of steam locomotive pulled trains. Sadly the rail service from Tapah and both the railway stations in Teluk Intan have ceased operations.
During the British rule , Port Dickson was a very important port trading mostly with Indonesia n the trains are goods train. It was also a very popular holiday resort then but not anymore.
Hi Doug, in Malaysia parents are free to choose the type of school they want their kids to enrol in ie national type school, Chinese or Tamil school. However vernacular education are mostly limited to primary education as far as I know. For secondary/high school only national type are provided as part of national curriculum. For example for those who chose to continue their education in Chinese will need to enrol in private high school.
I domt know man but I rather approach a dog tjhat is barking, cuz barking dogs seldom bite, for good measure, I dont appoach a dog that does not bark because those bugger might be dangerous :) not talking about street dogs.

Yes... Malays use geese as bouncer to guard the house😅
Those are cargo ships but bcos the water is not deep enough it can't anchor at the shore . So they have smaller boats to transfer the goods.
whoa.. didn't know that roundabout clock tower had speakers inside of them. Wonder what if they are used for chiming the time perhaps?
Hi.. Great video. I have a house in PD (lukut actually) that I go back to 2 or 3 times a month. Hope to see you around!
Majlis perbandaran port Dickson= port Dickson city council(local government for the city)

Buy a drink at the food court or restaurant is only an option, not a must.
The nicer beaches are Blue Lagoon and Tanjung Tuan
