CHUAH FAMILY OUT TO PRESERVE CHARCOAL-MAKING LEGACY OF KUALA SEPETANG

Kuala Sepetang or formerly Port Weld which is located about 16 kilometers from Taiping town, is also the oldest mangrove charcoal producer in the country.

Charcoal factory workers are busy processing mangrove charcoal during BERNAMA's survey at the charcoal factory in Kuala Sepetang recently.

Operating since 1930, the industry at the mouth of the river facing the Straits of Malacca has not changed much, with 120 companies operating here.
