Teluk Intan (formerly known as Teluk Anson) is a town in Perak, Malaysia.Although the name means "Diamond Bay", the town is not located near a bay. It is founded around the oxbow meander of the Perak River, making the town look like near a bay. The locals believe that in the future, the river’s flow will erode the narrow neck of the land between the loops of the meander and turn the town into an island.
