Unveiled in 1909, the Birch Memorial, “a square decorated tower with a portrait bust and four panels illustrative of the growth of civilization” was erected on the tableland at a cost of about $25,000. A dedication to J.W.W. Birch, the first British Resident of Perak, is found beneath the bronze bust of Birch in the north-facing niche. The clocktower has one mother bell, 6 feet 6 inches in diameter and weighing 10 cwt, and four smaller bells weighing together 10 cwt which used to strike the chimes of Big Ben. At the corners of the belfry, mounted on pedestals, are terracotta figures, representing the four “virtues of British Administration” – loyalty, with sword and shield, justice, blind and carrying a sword and a pair of scales, patience, unarmed, and fortitude, with a calm face and bearing a spear. On the civilization panel, 44 famous figures in world history were portrayed. The image of the last Prophet of Islam was painted over in the 1990s due to objections from Muslims to the depiction of the Prophet.
