Lekir (Jawi: لكير; Chinese: 力侨) is a mukim in Manjung District, Perak, Malaysia. Sufian Shukor is the Penghulu Mukim of Lekir. Gaining attention for the building of a new industrial park,[2] Lekhir has been building up its industrial and agricultural industry.[3] Lekir produces high amounts of Cockle, boosted by a government program to stabilize incomes of fishermen,[4] leading them to be put into Malaysia's Book of Records.[5] The industry & government has also focused on making halal items and manufacturing halal food items, especially gelatin.[6][7]
