Tourist Attraction

Penggaram Square Batu Pahat

Penggaram Square of Batu Pahat is definitely a must-visit landmark in Batu Pahat, where it is here that the Batu Pahat’s name origins get depicted. As legend would have it, in the fifteenth century, the Siamese soldiers were chiselling rocks at the village of Minyak Beku or literally Frozen Oil to collect drinking water after being defeated by the Melaka troops. The chiselled rocks are what giving the land its name. As for the square, the highlight here would be the monument with a fountain depicting chiselled rock that was installed here during the town’s centennial celebration. This square is where most of the annual festivities such as National Day, Eid Fitri and Chinese New Year would be held, while during normal days, people would visit the square for a stroll or fly kites, with stalls around the area selling food and drinks.
