Jalan Bentayan, Muar

Jalan Bentayan, Muar (11 September, 2016)


Jalan Bentayan is a street in downtown Muar, Johor. It comprises two parts. The section between Jalan Maharani to Jalan Abdullah is one way. From Jalan Abdullah to Jalan Bakri, traffic flow is two ways.

Jalan Bentayan took its name from Fort Bentayan, which in turn took its name from Sungai Bentayan, a tributary of Sungai Muar. The fort in that area, now no longer extant was built by Sultan Mahmud, the last Sultan of Malacca, as a means to thwart invasion. That didn't proof successful, for the Portuguese attacked and took over Muar anyway, forcing Sultan Mahmud to once again flee, to Pagoh.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
