Colonial House Chimneys of Connaught Bridge Power Station staff quarters
Build in the early fourties by the British and abandoned during world war 2 and finally completed before the power plant come on stream in 1953.
Some of the houses came complete with fireplace and kitchen chimneys.
Well! considering the weather those days must be so much colder then
and wood was then the main source of heat especially for cooking
before the arrival of cooking gas and electricity hence the need for chimneys to channel out all the smoke.

Bentong's Brick Saw Dust Burner
This sawdust burner of Tong Leong Sawmill in Bentong is barely use nowadays
because the sawdust which is a byproduct from sawing timber is now a valueable commodity and it is used to make chipboard for the furniture industry
so meaning less smoke polution from the burner nowadays.
Timber industry which ones upon the time is booming like there is no tommorrow
is now on the decline in the peninsular Malaysia with only a handfull of it left running due to declining timber reserve.Price of wood is so high nowadays that it is even cheaper to build a house from brick than wood.
