The small town still retains its rural and rustic charms after all these years. The rows of shop houses lining the main road remain essentially the same, somehow untouched by the new developments in the vicinity over the years.

I cycled around the town in mid-morning - the streets were quite quite, and I was surprised to note that I was the only rare breed cycling along the main street; until I saw one elderly gentleman cycling near a hawker centre later. People commute by motorbikes or motorized bicycles nowadays, it seems. And the children who cycle are still attending schools in the morning.
When I returned for a short walk to snap some photos during lunch time, the streets were bustling with cars and motorbikes, but still not many bicycles.
Here are some photos of the overhead bridge bypassing the rail track running parallel to Nibong Tebal and the view from the bridge:
