Slim River's history

SLIM RIVER is named after a nearby river, Sungai Slim. The word Sungai in Malay means river. In the 18th century, the river was actually named after an English captain with last name Slim. He accidentally went up the river instead of the river of Perak which was the main waterway back then.
