Tanjung Pengelih is a main town in Johor,
Malaysia. The Tanjung Pengelih historical British Military Operation
Centre fortress during World War II is located here. The Royal Malaysian
Naval Academy (PULAREK TLDM)is also in Tanjung Pengelih.
Tanjung
Pengelih is a popular entry point among visitors from Singapore,
especially those who come for seafood at Rengit River. On a hill behind
the Immigration and Customs checkpoint, stands a historical relic which
once served as the British Operation Centre built by the British during
the World War II. This operation centre was reputed to have housed an
underground hospital, barracks, tunnels, communications post, naval guns,
anti-aircraft installation, command post, and artillery post. The old
pillboxes are visible on the ground here.
