Tiger Rock (Batu Bersurat)

Batu Bersurat

A giant boulder beside the Dutch fort, carved with a tiger and Dutch inscriptions, linked to a legend about a Dutch boy.

A large boulder beside Dutch Fort, its surface carved with a picture of a tiger carrying off a child, along with a Dutch inscription dated 1743. Legend says the child of a Dutch official was carried off by a tiger while playing here, though some believe the story was a rumour deliberately spread by the Dutch. The boulder is covered by a shelter and has an information board beside it. Admission is free. It takes only a few minutes to see, and it is usually visited together with Dutch Fort.
