[edit] Origin of name
The name Batu Pahat means 'chiseled rock' in Malay. The origin of this name can be dated back to the 19th century; when the Siamese soldiers were chiselling rocks at a rocky spot in the coastal village of Kampung Minyak Beku, in hope to get fresh water to continue their seafare.
Today, the ancient well can still be found in Minyak Beku, though little was done to maintain this ancient landmark which gives name to the town. For the town's centennial celebration in the early 90's, a quaint monument depicting a 'floating hand chiselling a rock' was set up in the town square. It became the landmark of the town instantaneously. Currently, the newly refurbished town square is popular with locals to chill out on weekend nights and also provides as a venue for many public festive celebrations.
[edit] Location
Batu Pahat is located at 1°51′N 102°56′E. It is 239 km from Kuala Lumpur. Next nearest town is Muar which is 50 km northwest of Batu Pahat. The town of Kluang is located about 52 km to the southeast. Johor Bahru is located about 70 to 100 km to the south east of the town.
The district itself borders the district of Segamat to the north, Kluang to the east, Muar to the west and shares a border in the southeast with the district of Pontian. The coast of the Straits of Melaka lies to the south. |
