Sungai Lembing Museum

Sungai Lembing was one of the largest, longest and deepest subterranean tin mine in the world.

It was mined by the Pahang Consolidated Company Limited (PCCL) a British company from 1906 until 1986.

The miners of Sungai Lembing were not given any uniform but they were given a hard hat, a carbide lamp and a batter-operated lamp. It was hard works and I remember my dad coming home tired and his cloths were dark and dirty.
