Sungai Lembing

Tin mining town near the Sg. Lembing river. Was believed to be named because the local ruler saw a vision where he envisioned that there was a spear in the river and thus named it after it (lembing is the Malay term for spear). In they hey days of the 70s was a major producer of underground tin using mine shafts to obtain the ore and later processed into jongkangs. Mines closed at present due to high cost of operations and a lowered yield. Currently a lesser populated town from it's glory days. A museum highlighting the tin mining industry of yesteryears is found here.
