WW2 Bunkers in Malaysia

"I'm posting something historic. This is a World War 2 bunker used by the British soldiers when they were fighting against the Japanesse troops in the Malay Peninsular ( then) now Malaysia. The British soldiers were expecting the Japanese to enter peninsular from the south. Instead the Japanese came from north through Thailand. This was a confusion to the fighting Malay regiments as well as the British soldiers. These bunkers were stationed along the road surrounding the airport near Alor Setar. So I believe they waited for the Japanese army inside these bunkers to snipe or to shoot. At the same time, the Japanese warplanes bombarded many British camps heavily. This is a place to protect from those blasting bombs.

Anyway now, these isolated bunkers were left to rot. Nobody care much about it as well as its history. I dont really know whether they were repainted it or not.

But the look of it, it is not well maintain for historical purposes. Inside it is full of water and mud. It is about 5 feet deep. Mostly built near the paddy fields.

The built is still very strong and still in great shape. But I dare not enter, there might be snakes or unseen dangers.

Anyway it is worth noting. The picture depicts its reality - left alone, gruesome , unnoticed and forgotten."
