The man-made lake

Banding Island is a 243-hectare inland island encircled by the Temenggor Lake, a man-made lake created in the late 1960s by constructing the Temenggor Dam and flooding the valleys of the Upper Perak River and its tributaries. Temenggor Lake is the largest man-made lake in Perak, and second largest in Malaysia. Created when the Temenggor Hydro Electricity Dam was completed in 1978, it is home to many species of freshwater fishes. From here, you can see Banding Island. #mycountry #MYCOUNTRY
