Continuing from Views from a tower of the Marzukiah mosque at Lubuk Pusing.
According to local legend Lubuk Pusing used to be part of the rather wide waters of the river Bernam.
The word Lubuk refers to a deep water part of a river (also for shoreline). Pusing means to whirl.
So according to legend there used to be whirlpool sucking things into the deep waters of a wide river around here.
But the portion of the river containingthe whirlpool was turned to land following the prayers of a religious master.
What's left of the whirlpool are small pools with waters that regularly bubbles. Look at the videos in the old article The 'Bermuda Triangle' that is Lubuk Pusing in Sabak Bernam...
As such, these parts of Lubuk Pusing used to be some sort of tourist attraction. But it now looks abandoned...
