Kulim Town :- Jabatan Hutan Kulim

In the early 60's there was a forestry check point in front of the Kilang Lama Town Roundabout.
Timber lorries have to make a pit stop in front of the roundabout for checking by the foresters.

I got an article about the Kulim Forestry Office which was established in 1952:-
