Baling

Among the towns of Kedah, Baling stands out for its position beside Sungai Ketil beneath the limestone mass of Gunung Baling. Set in the state’s eastern interior, it has a more rugged and forested character than Kedah’s well-known coastal plain. Baling also occupies an important place in Malaysia’s modern political history: the Baling Talks of 1955 brought Tunku Abdul Rahman, David Marshall and Malayan Communist Party leader Chin Peng together in an unsuccessful attempt to end the Malayan Emergency. Its town centre serves the surrounding rural district. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of eastern Kedah.
