I drive pass that bunker nearly everyday and never once stop to look into it, much more to go down... It take a legend from Canada named Steve to enter the water filled bunker with a camera and post it on TH-cam 👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks bro
@@JetLagWarriors 'legend'..latest word to enter the 'vocab' of the Malay speaking youth...to mean 'very good and extraordinary' .... 'So', anything could be 'legend' if you find it so so good ...haha
@JetLag Warriors : There used to be a small secret door leading to underground tunnel in the main prayer hall but was demolished and the floor/stairs leading down sealed when the hall was renovated and extended. This tunnel was connected to five other buildings nearby which is the Nobat Tower, the Istana Lama (Old Palace), the Balai Besar and the Treasury Office. Underground, it is believed to house a room to store the state's treasure of the time. This tunnel is also connected to the nearby river to serve as an escape route for the royal family should there be an attack from the enemy. I have been to one of the entrance door and it was quite small but enough for one person to get through at a time. Also, the compound of the Zahir Mosque used be be the burial ground for hundreds of fallen Kedahan warriors during the battle with Siam but was later exhumed to several cemeteries around the city.
Such an amazing history! Malaysia is a blessed land with blessed people. Thanks for sharing such valuable information about Kedah, well appreciated and excited to visit there in the future.
Bro please come CIVILIZATION RIVER STONE (TAMADUN SUNGAI BATU) .. a historic oldest Malay, Malaysia companion , you definitely like to experience this ...
Hopefully Kedah Tourism will take all of you to the Sungai Batu and the Bujang Valley Archaeological site. For your info, the Sungai Batu Archaeological site is even older than Angkor Wat and Borobudur
im from kedah and never thought kedah can be this interesting hahahha.. you guys doing much better work in promoting our country better than our mainstream tv... always enjoy
Anak Kedah Pantang Kalah. Hijau Kuning Darul Aman Negeri Kedah Negeriku. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰💝💯 Thank you for visiting my hometown Alor Setar Kedah. Thanks for bringing this content to all around the world. Just a fews footsteps walk from my house to Masjid Zahir. Terima kasih Tourism of Kedah. 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Great video! We are planning to go to Kedah in a month or two (if the RMCO gets extended and we are allowed to stay in Malaysia), so we are really looking forward to seeing your activities there.
I suggest you come to Merbok. Here is a lot of history about the origins of Kedah that you can learn. In addition, as usual you can enjoy a great variety of Malay food here😊👍🏼
2:19. About Kedah history of wars. My great-great-great grandfather who hailed from Sumatra and of Mandailing tribe was a military officer and "panglima" (warrior) in the Kedah armed forces going to war against Siam/Thailand in the 1821 and 1841 Kedah-Siam Wars. He came to Kedah from Sumatra (now in Indonesia), married a local Kedah Malay woman, and from there gave rise to us his descendants. So, was told to me by my late mother who died in 2016.
our ancestors called the siamese "Siam perut hijau" means "Siam green stomach" because of their cruelty towards the Malays. It is said that after Siam conquered some part of Kedah, (Kedah back then was a big empire) they stamped on the locals with elephant😭. Many kedahan warriors died and the Sultan fled to Penang to planned a new strategy. And they managed to fought back. The history was very long.
Kota Kuala Kedah is the Malay kingdoms' stronghold in the war against Siam (Thailand) backed by the British way before British involvement in the governance of Malaya. British Navy ships formed a blockade around the fort while Siam forces attacked from the land...but the ships would not come closer to the fort to bombard it because Kedah possess a bigger cannon with longer range that could hit the ships (probably technology from Ottoman empire because the Malay Kingdoms have relationship with the empire hence the star and moon symbols on our flags)
Tunku Abdul Rahman, the country's founding father, the first prime minister who united the various states and races in Malaysia to gain independence from the British, is one of Kedah's most famous sons. A prince of Kedah, he lies buried at the Royal Mausoleum.
The Land of History. You nailed it. Actually Steve, the history of Kedah starts way from The Old Kedah, once part of Langkasuka kingdom. Built in by Merong Mahawangsa, 2nd century. Rich kingdom w hindu-buddhist influence. The 'Candi' is the proof. You can find the remains in Merbok. Yes, our land witnessed fierce battles centuries back. Described as undaunted in fierce battles by Raja Chola's conquest. And also once the busiest trading land w merchant ships from India to China, vice versa. Just to share a little. To know the locals, is to know their history. Ivana look so sweet wearing baju kedah. Be safe. Enjoy the re-union💟
I was so absorbed with your narration that I didn’t realise 11:21 minutes worth of viewing time went by so quickly. I was hoping to see a drone shot of the Alor Setar tower but none appeared. Nonetheless it was a very informative vlog. Keep it up bro.
Steve im your fans.. I have been watching your vlog almost all.. And very proud of you for being such a good person for the Malaysian people.. Im Really2 want to see you.. Hangout in kedah. Btw My name is amin from jerantut pahang, now work at alor star.. And kedah is really2 good place to visit..
I have a great nusantara heritage with melting pot of hindu, Buddhist, arab and Chinese influences. Im very proud of these heritage. Same goes to our bumi Malaysia yg tercinta which has got loads to offer to the world especially to travelers. We should be proud of it and paint a true picture of our country heritage. Hinduisn buddhism and middle eastern influences are quite significant. Take it from a nusantara guy.
You should try the KL Tower Sky deck which has a higher glass viewing gallery more than 300 meters above ground level. You can also do sky diving from above 400 meters from there.
Hi Steve and Ivana. I know u guys hike sometimes, so I would love to suggest Mount Pulai or Mount Baling (both can be done dayhike). The landscape is different from other mountain in other state. Or can just hike Bukit Mok Cun for fun but the view is stunning. Have fun in Kedah.
5️⃣🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 guys, especially going in the Pillbox bunker that's similar to the one in TGG!! I ❤️history too & lived in Langkasuka aka Old Kedah when I was much younger; still loving it! Great narration, short & simple, Now u guys have learnt a lot about our country more than Malaysians ourselves since we Only read them from books those days! 😅👏🏻 Thanks for bringing it Live to us on our small little screens😂 All of u deserve a Good Treat, especially that bottle of water😁 Malaysia Truly Asia!❤️🇲🇾🌏
Woo! Thanks Joyce. We feel really grateful to have participated in this tour with tourism Kedah. A bunch of friends traveling around to some unique spots, with a great tour guide, capturing all of it on camera. We really had so much fun :)!
@@JetLagWarriors 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻it's our way to extend this gesture since BIG efforts exploring Malaysia by you all have been carried out during this pandemic. So, you all deserve this wonderful treat from them!
You should go to Bukit Mok Cun in Kodiang as well. Stunning view! And yes, have a good trip to Sungai Batu as well. Sungai Batu is the oldest civilization in Southeast Asia! Far more older than Funan, Brobudor and Angkor itself! Sungai Batu had been existed before the BC centuries! Too ancient but a bit younger than beginning of Roman Empire
Your vlog in Kedah is amazing bro👌Kedah full of historical places🤩tq to kedah to bring u guys to explore kedah to eye world🌏 thru your vlog now kedah mosque is top ten most beautiful ...pls explore more kedah🪐🌞
already expecting Steve will enjoy the history trails in Kedah. 😉😌 hope you guys will make it to Merbok & Lembah Bujang after this. Enjoy Kedah, the paddy field view & the trip Steve & Ivana!
Guys, if you want to see more pillboxs, go to my village at bukit pinang, it's near kepala batas Airport, i used to play there, its got a huge pillboxs and a stairs that will take you down, but the stairs leading down is full of water, iused to clean myself after searching for fish at the paddy fields, this was 25 years ago but i know its still there, i had a really great time back then, just some info guys
Kota Kuala Kedah Fort.. most bloodiest tragedy started here... 12 November 1824 Kedah were ambushed by Siamese Captain Osborn(British Officer) stated in his book Kedah Blockade 1824 told a tragedic story when siam arrived, Malays facing miserable torture. beheaded, raping pregnant women. some got several torture such as burning alive, piercing ear with bamboo stick and they gathered men and women then marched to Bangkok. Thousands of Malays of Kota Kuala Kedah moved to Penang, and yes Penang Malays historically came from Kota Kuala Kedah because of this war. some moved to North Sumatera(Jaring Halus, they actually still maintained Kedah Dialect). The reason why they attack Kedah is because of what happened to Phuket. Back then from Satun/Setul until Phuket - Kawthuang, Myanmar were part of Kedah Empire. Phuket is the territory for two empire(Thai and Burma) fighting each other in order to seize the land. it's a long story. Good to see you visit this place, i hope you guys have a plan to visit ancient place at Merbok.
i think Malaysia is the only country in the world gets attack many time even we don't do nothing wrong to them.. poor to our ancestors 😔 Netherlands.. siam/thailand.. japan.. communist.. Portuguese.. Indonesia.. that's why Malaysia now is a multiracial country. but we still standing here with pride😊😊
I hope Kedah tourism will take you guys to Sungai Batu archaeological site ....just been discovered back in 2008....it is one of world ancient civilisation & the South-East Asia's oldest civilisation(535BCE /2500 years ago).... it is UNESCO world heritage site....back in ancient days, the Sungai Batu used to be a massive iron smelting industries city.....the processed iron is one of the best & had been exported worldwide during those days ...since steve loves history so much, maybe you guys should check this place out... 😁
An interesting historical vlog...your explanation about those historical sites is very clear and precise, good job, Steve. Enjoy watching it and thanks for bringing us along. 👍👍
Been there at Alor Setar tower before they put that yellow glass floor. My late father told us at this side will see this and that side you'll see that.. Really miss years and moments spend in Kedah. Thank you Steve & Ivana💖
My ancestors fought throughout the war and some of them were massacred there in the fort during the war against Siam and the Brits (nicknamed as War of the Whispering Enemy / Perang Musuh Bisik). Hearing the stories from my late grandpa about the bloody century is sentimental. Not all visitors cared to bring up the bloody event. Thank you, Steve and I hope Kedahan will give u the best experience to both of you! Eat till yer drop 🤣
Recently the govt of Kedah announced the discovery of a very rare mineral which is even more expensive than gold, worth at around Rm43 .. the rare mineral is found underneath the ground of some towns in Kedah as well as north of Perak .. so Kedah is going to be super rich .. hence Kedah will continuously be listed as one of the 'wanted' states in Msia by conquorers 🤗 .. very interesting video .. tq Steve and Ivana for sharing .. stay safe always 💕🐈💕
Right! The REE (rare earth element) should make Kedah rich (again!!). We just spent some time learning about how iron ore made Kedah rich for thousands of years from around 800 BC - 1100 AD. God has blessed Kedah it seems
Omg Steve. I hope you showered after getting into that watery bunker....😨 But really appreciate what youre doing here. Not many Malaysians even,... have been under that space. Got the chills just thinking about what happened 79 years ago there. Thank you JLW. AWESOME.👍
There are a lot of forts in Malaysia if you're interested, there are a lot of wars happening here unknown to the outside world. Wars between kingdoms, wars with western colonial powers, WW2 and post-WW2. This land is rich with minerals, the land is fertile, everything can grow here, good climate, animals can live here and the land being in the middle of sea trade route between the west and the east, this land is always under threat through time, even today, if relationship between US and China not going well, Malaysia is important for both parties for strategic purpose and because we have oil. So, while now we feel so peaceful, we must remember that there are wolves out there waiting...
Please Visit Historical Site in Sungai Batu .. Its sad if Tourism Kedah not bring you to there Poor sungai batu .. most people doesnt recognize it as the most earlier civilisation in Southeast Asia
Welcome to my hometown ! Kota kuala kedah is my hometown village ! Wooooo There chicken chop 3.90 you can try ! It only behind my old house ! You can try that its delicious and very cheap
It wont be long before the Tourism Board would take you to the journey to even older history. The oldest man-made structure and civilized settlement in South East Asia in Sungai Batu and Lembah Bujang. Everything you know about the history of South East Asia and Malaysia so far will be 'disturbed', to say the least :D
U also should go to Sungai Batu located in Bukit Batu Pahat, Merbok, Kedah. This river is important because of the archaeological site of the ancient port which is believed to have existed in 788 BC Ancient Kedah civilization is recorded as the oldest civilization in Southeast Asia. This civilization is also contemporary with Roman and Greek civilizations
sound cool, i like to see historical place at diffrent country. i was never go kedah before mybe i will one day. i have go pulau parhantian with my family before my favorite place very nice environment and people. you should try go there, i hope you having a good day mate
u should go to gunung jerai too my warriors..nice panorama n activities at there..include lembah bujang n sungai batu nearby mountain..that was the historical places aged around 2700 years ..
I love my hometown Kedah...esp the foods...cheap and tasty...but the things i can not stand in kedah are the heat & humidity...bt as far as i can remember the weather those days were still bearable...kampung girl..argh miss everythg in kedah
Great to have some of the local history, the buildings and architecture are a privilage to see. And that tower, I wonder if its closed in monsoon thunderstorms.
Hii guys!! Woww..im at kedah too..curently on leave till sunday!! please let me know if u guys in Jitra,.. Ill be happy to bring u guys the best eateries here in Jitra, kedah.
I had been to Kedah once (not including my trips to Langkawi 😁) , and that was at least 30years ago... and i didnt get to see much back then, because i was there because i had nowhere else to go during my semester break. my housemate was nice enough to invite me to her hometown.... and I didnt get to see much as i didnt have itchy feet back then. 😁 Perlis and Kedah, they have always been in my bucket list.
The history of kota kuala kedah is quite interesting and actually important towards the nationhood of Malaysia. The fort is the Alamo of kedahan. In 1838, 200 kedahan soldiers fought valiantly against 7000 siamese army, and the british royal navy sea blockade. It was the last battle fought at that fort. The kedah army lost. However significantly it was one of the reason why the siam kingdom couldn't expand further south of the malay peninsula.
The mosque is amazing. Like you said, it's not a tourist place and as a local chinese, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go inside. Thanks for showing how it is inside. I was intrigued by it when I visit Alor Setar. Didn't know that it is the 4 most beautiful mosque in the world.

Yeah, was about to recommend this. Kedah's history is one of the oldest in the region. Probably much older than the Chinese empires
Older than Ancient Egypt possibly

My ancestors fought throughout the war and some of them were massacred there in the fort during the war against Siam and the Brits (nicknamed as War of the Whispering Enemy / Perang Musuh Bisik). Hearing the stories from my late grandpa about the bloody century is sentimental. Not all visitors cared to bring up the bloody event. Thank you, Steve and I hope Kedahan will give u the best experience to both of you! Eat till yer drop 🤣
Wow, so much history...
Recently the govt of Kedah announced the discovery of a very rare mineral which is even more expensive than gold, worth at around Rm43 .. the rare mineral is found underneath the ground of some towns in Kedah as well as north of Perak .. so Kedah is going to be super rich .. hence Kedah will continuously be listed as one of the 'wanted' states in Msia by conquorers 🤗 .. very interesting video .. tq Steve and Ivana for sharing .. stay safe always 💕🐈💕
Right! The REE (rare earth element) should make Kedah rich (again!!). We just spent some time learning about how iron ore made Kedah rich for thousands of years from around 800 BC - 1100 AD. God has blessed Kedah it seems
Omg Steve. I hope you showered after getting into that watery bunker....😨
But really appreciate what youre doing here. Not many Malaysians even,... have been under that space. Got the chills just thinking about what happened 79 years ago there. Thank you JLW. AWESOME.👍
There are a lot of forts in Malaysia if you're interested, there are a lot of wars happening here unknown to the outside world. Wars between kingdoms, wars with western colonial powers, WW2 and post-WW2. This land is rich with minerals, the land is fertile, everything can grow here, good climate, animals can live here and the land being in the middle of sea trade route between the west and the east, this land is always under threat through time, even today, if relationship between US and China not going well, Malaysia is important for both parties for strategic purpose and because we have oil. So, while now we feel so peaceful, we must remember that there are wolves out there waiting...
if u love history.. u can search about 'lembah bujang' or 'perak man' who history over thousand years old..
Truly agreed
Please Visit Historical Site in Sungai Batu ..
Its sad if Tourism Kedah not bring you to there
Poor sungai batu .. most people doesnt recognize it as the most earlier civilisation in Southeast Asia
Welcome to my hometown ! Kota kuala kedah is my hometown village ! Wooooo
There chicken chop 3.90 you can try ! It only behind my old house ! You can try that its delicious and very cheap
Steve looks like a Jedi in that robe.
lol good one
Go to gunung jerai and enjoy the paddy field view from the top.
Most people only know the historic city of Melaka! But every State in Malaysia is full of its own Unique history!
Take care💖
It wont be long before the Tourism Board would take you to the journey to even older history. The oldest man-made structure and civilized settlement in South East Asia in Sungai Batu and Lembah Bujang. Everything you know about the history of South East Asia and Malaysia so far will be 'disturbed', to say the least :D
This vlog coming soon 😊
U also should go to Sungai Batu located in Bukit Batu Pahat, Merbok, Kedah. This river is important because of the archaeological site of the ancient port which is believed to have existed in 788 BC Ancient Kedah civilization is recorded as the oldest civilization in Southeast Asia. This civilization is also contemporary with Roman and Greek civilizations
The last time I was in Kedah was 35 yrs ago.I think its time to take another trip there.
Stay safe y'all.

Thanks!!! ❤️❤️
I had been to Kedah once (not including my trips to Langkawi 😁) , and that was at least 30years ago...
and i didnt get to see much back then, because i was there because i had nowhere else to go during my semester break.
my housemate was nice enough to invite me to her hometown....
and I didnt get to see much as i didnt have itchy feet back then. 😁
Perlis and Kedah, they have always been in my bucket list.
My kneecap literally felt loose watching all of u on the glass floor🥶🥶🥶
The history of kota kuala kedah is quite interesting and actually important towards the nationhood of Malaysia. The fort is the Alamo of kedahan. In 1838, 200 kedahan soldiers fought valiantly against 7000 siamese army, and the british royal navy sea blockade. It was the last battle fought at that fort. The kedah army lost. However significantly it was one of the reason why the siam kingdom couldn't expand further south of the malay peninsula.
The mosque is amazing. Like you said, it's not a tourist place and as a local chinese, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go inside. Thanks for showing how it is inside. I was intrigued by it when I visit Alor Setar. Didn't know that it is the 4 most beautiful mosque in the world.
I think u can actually go inside. Just ask the mosque keeper. Or the imam. Wearing a proper attire..and you'll be good.
