Perak River

The fourth one in Top 10 Longest Rivers in Malaysia that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Perak River. After the Pahang River in Pahang, Malaysia, Perak River is Malaysia's fourth longest river. The river's banks are home to a variety of towns, notably the royal town of Kuala Kangsar. Until the 19th century, when tin reserves were discovered elsewhere, most notably at Ipoh, most of the villages in what is now Perak were located along the river. The Perak River originates in the Belum Forest Reserve's hilly Perak–Kelantan–Thailand boundary. The junction of the Machang and Merah rivers, deep in the Royal Belum State Park's isolated section. The Machang River comes from the Titiwangsa Range on the Perak-Terengganu border, while the Merah River comes from the upper stream of Thailand's Bang Lang National Park. The headwaters of the Perak River were formed by the confluence of several rivers. The Bidor River and the Kinta River are two of the river's branches. At Banding, near Grik, the Temenggor Dam has created a massive man-made lake.

The Perak River is Peninsular Malaysia's fourth-longest river. The river originates in the highlands of Upper Perak, close to the Thai border. It then flows past the two main cities in the region, Gerik and Lenggong, before joining the Kangsar River at Kuala Kangsar, the royal seat. It then flows past the cities of Parit, Pasir Salak, and Kampung Gajah in Perak Tengah before emptying into the Malacca Straits just outside Teluk Intan in the Hilir Perak (Lower Perak) region.
