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.

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.
