Sungai Kesang

Sungai Kesang (16 September 2016)


Sungai Kesang is a river on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It has a length of around 45 km. For part of its journey, Sungai Kesang forms the border between Johor and Malacca. In the 18th century, the area along the river was settled by people from the Minangkabau community hailing from Pagar Ruyung in Sumatra. This followed news that the foot of Gunung Ledang is rich in gold ore. The Minangkabau arrived and sailed up Sungai Kesang in their boats. They settled on the right bank of the river, which is part of Malacca territory.
