124 Years-old Railway Bridge that Linked Malayan Railway

Today we're talking about Victoria Bridge.
124-years old Victoria Bridge is a colonial-era bridge located in central Perak, Malaysia.
Connecting both banks of Perak River, Victoria Bridge is a marvel of its time.
Why did the colonial government spend so much money to build a bridge high above the Perak River?
