Reflecting Muar抯 historic charmStory and photos by ZAZALI MUSA      
OLD buildings in the coastal river town of Muar in northwestern Johor are a priceless heritage and definitely an attraction.
They may not be historically famous like those in Georgetown and Malacca, which were accorded World Heritage Site status by Unesco on July 7, 2008.
Nonetheless, they reflect the town抯 prosperous past and splendour and make interesting subjects for photographers, history buffs, visitors and architecture students.
In good use: The Sultan Abu Bakar Building now houses the Muar Land Office and District Office.
Muar抯 name originates from the Malay word muara or estuary.
History shows that Sultan Abu Bakar named it Bandar Maharani or Empress Town in 1884 after his consort Sultanah Fatimah.
Unlike today抯 structures, it is easy to identify the buildings of yesteryears as the dates of completion are visible on the exterior.
Outstanding:Well-preserved pre-war building in Jalan Maharani dominate in Muar's architecture.
Most of the buildings feature neo-classical and Georgian designs popular in 19th-century Europe, the United States and British colonies.
High ceilings, verandas, columns, arches, striped walls, louvre windows panels, decorative plaster and balustrades are common features of buildings of that circa.
Although most of them are of colonial design, the architects included Chinese, Indian and Malay motifs to adapt the designs to local culture.
Still vibrant: The Sultan Abu Bakar Building in Jalan Mejidi is a replica of the Grand Palace in Johor Baru.
Rows of well-preserved pre-war buildings in Jalan Abdullah, Jalan Maharani and Jalan Sulaiman add colour to the streets as the buildings dominate as far as the town抯 architecture is concerned.
Standing proudly in Jalan Bentayan next to Wisma Kim are two Chinese pre-war houses adorned with intricate plaster stucco designs on the fa鏰de and tiles of Anglo-Saxon influence.
The Royal Customs and Excise building built in 1909 in Jalan Maharani was once an important landmark.
The back of the building that faces Muar River served as a landing port and was part of a railway network linking Jalan Sulaiman in Bandar Maharani and Sungai Pulai over a distance of 22.5km.
Standing tall: A view of Muar from the northern bank of River in Tanjung Agas.
Not many are aware that Muar was served by its own railway network known as Muar State Railways (MSR).
MSR operated from 1889 to 1925 and started just four years after the first railway line of the country from Taiping to Port Weld in Perak was inaugurated in 1885.
It facilitated the transportation of people and kampung products from surrounding villages to Malacca and Singapore via the port.
The service dwindled after the opening of Jalan Abdul Rahman in 1918 linking the town and Parit Jawa.
MSR came to an end in 1925.
Muar High School was founded in 1902 as a government English school.
Construction of the colonial-style building in Jalan Meriam started in 1904 and was completed in 1915.
It is among the oldest schools in Johor and has produced many famous names including former Johor Mentri Besar the late Tan Sri Osman Saat, International Trade and Industry Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman.
Construction of Sultan Ibrahim Jamek Mosque on the Muar riverbank in Jalan Petri was begun in 1920 and completed in 1927 at a cost of RM10,000.
It is noted for its four-storey minaret in its backyard and a worship place that depicts European-classical and Islamic architectural influences.
Passers-by in Jalan Mejidi will not miss the Sultan Abu Bakar building (built in 1921) as it is a replica of the Istana Besar or Grand Palace of Johor Baru, which is now the Johor Royal Museum.
It houses the Muar Land Office and District Office.
Three double-storey link houses in Jalan Othman built in 1928 with Dutch architecture stand in stark contrast to their surroundings.

Daerah Muar kalau tak salah aku lebih luas dari negeri Perlis.So di dalamnya ada beberapa kawasan Parlimen.Diantaranya ialah :

1. Ledang

2. Muar

3. Bakri

4. Pagoh

5. Labis.

Tu tak termasuk kawasan-kawasan DUN yang berada di dalam daerah Muar ni.

Kalau info yang aku bagi ni salah,harap orang yang lebih arif dapat buat pembetulan.Terima kasih.

More to Muar than meets the eye 2009/04/01            Sim Bak Heng

                        

Datuk Jaafar Mohamad, Johor抯 first Menteri Besar from 1882 to 1919.

                        IT is always interesting to know how a place derives its name.
        

The Sungai Muar ferry service played an important role in the development of Muar.

A large crowd gathered at the opening of the first bridge across Sungai Muar.

           Muar, often called a pensioners' town, got its name by virtue of its location in an estuary, or muara in Malay.  
   
   Before it was named Muar, it was called Teluk Dalam, or Inner Bay.

   Teluk Dalam and muara have geographical meanings, as both are located between land and sea.

           Muar's history is said to have started much earlier than the Malacca sultanate.

A 1361 record shows that a Buddhist monk in the Majapahit palace namedPrapanca wrote a poem, Nagarakertagama, which recorded the history ofthe Majapahit empire in the Malay peninsular.

   The king was Hayam Wuruk and his prime minister was Gajah Mada (1350-1389). Muar was one of the states in this empire.

Another historical account states that Parameswara, the founder of theMalacca empire, had built a wooden fort at Pagoh in Ulu Muar, after hisexile from Temasik, before going to Malacca.

In Malayhistorical literature, Temasik, which was then ruled by Sultan IskandarSyah, was defeated by the Majapahit empire.

The sultan movedto Muar where he opened two areas near Sungai Muar called Biawak Busukand built a fort named Kota Buruk. He eventually moved to Malacca andbuilt the empire.

Muar is home to the tomb of Sultan AlauddinRiayat Shah (1477-1488), the only existing tomb of the Malaccasultanate. Other tombs were destroyed during the Portuguese occupationof Malacca.

Muar played a role in resisting the Portugueseoccupation of Malacca in 1511. In response to attacks from thePortuguese fleet, the Bentayan fort was built by the sultan of Malaccato repel seaborne invasions.

   A Portuguese fort named Fortaleza de Muar was built in Bentayan to defend the colony against the Dutch and Acehnese attacks.

Today, Muar is the royal town of northern Johor. It was also known asBandar Maharani (Empress Town), a name given by Sultan Abu Bakar in1884.

It was the only town in Malaysia that had its ownrail-link, known as the Muar State Railways, operating just four yearsafter the country's first railway line from Taiping to Port Weld wasinaugurated in 1885.

   The railway operated from 1889 to 1925, linking Jalan Sulaiman in Muar and Sungai Pulai for  22.5km.

There was a plan in 1916 to extend the line to Batu Pahat but theproject didn't take off due to financial and geographical constraints.

   The railway provided a means of transportation for people and produce.

   However, its prominence  dwindled after the opening of Jalan Abdul Rahman, which linked Muar and Parit Jawa,  in 1918.

   The only relic of the railways  today is  the display of a MSR locomotive in Taman Tanjung Emas.

Another important mode of transportation was the ferry and boats forpeople on both sides of Sungai Muar, until the Sultan Ismail bridge wasbuilt in 1909.

   Muar is a treasure trove of old buildings.  

   The Muar Royal Customs and Excise Office built in 1909 in Jalan Maharani is an important landmark

   The Sultan Ibrahim Jamek Mosque in Jalan Petri has a minaret in its backyard and a signboard with Chinese characters.

Another landmark is the Sultan Abu Bakar building (built in 1921),which is a replica of the Istana Besar of Johor Baru, now the JohorRoyal Museum.

Many shophouses are pre-war buildings withneo-classical facades, and Jalan Meriam has many colonial-styledresidential buildings.

   Muar today is known for its furniture industry and  food.

   The furniture industry has provided jobs for locals, while the food attracts people from near and far.

So the next time you visit Muar, check out the historical buildings tofeed your appetite for culture and don't forget the food to satisfyyour stomach.

Some of the other sites worth visiting are theoddly-named Biawak Busuk (Smelly Monitor Lizard), Kota Buruk (RuinedFort) and Sungai Mati (Dead River).

Origins behind the names of these streets                   DatukAbdul Rahim Ramli served as the Johor state secretary from 1985 to1993. He is now the Secretary of the Royal Court and Dato' PenghuluIstiadat Istana Johor.
        

The clock tower and the Maharani Square costingRM1.9 million is one of the beautification projects of the MuarMunicipal Council

        WHEN I was a school boy in Muar,the names of streets other than the street where I lived did not meananything to me. Now, however, I feel duty bound to pass on someknowledge of the origins of the names of the streets. I am proud of myhometown and make regular visits to the place after my retirement.

Most street names in Muar are taken from the names of the Johorroyalty. It is so because Sultan Abu Bakar and his son, Sultan Ibrahim,had wanted to honour their kinsmen.

  Perhaps the names chosen for Muar were also to reflect the status of a town named for a queen.

           Sultan Abu Bakar had named the district capital as Bandar Maharani after his consort, Maharani Fatimah, in 1884.

The names of the sultan's siblings and their offspring were also etchedin history in appreciation of their loyalty and service. They, in fact,had taken the lesser royal title of Ungku in deference to him as theruler. They had played an important, if not an equal part, in theopening and development of Johor.

   Jalan Abdul Rahman was named after Ungku Abdul Rahman, the head of the State Council, and who once acted as Regent.

Ungku Abdul Majid, the Commissioner of Muar, had Jalan Majidi namedafter him. Jalan Khalidi was named after Ungku Mohamad Khalid, thePresident of the Religious Council.

  Jalan Ibrahim in Muar was named after Sultan Abu Bakar's only son, who later succeeded him.

Jalan Mariam (now spelt as Meriam) was named after his eldest daughter.Jalan Sultanah takes after the title of Sultanah Fatimah, the firstsultanah to be crowned in 1886. The services of his nephews in thedevelopment of the state were also given due recognition.

   Jalan Sulaiman was named after Ungku Sulaiman bin Daud, the first Resident Commissioner there in 1884.

This road used to have three coffee shops selling satay for breakfast.The Javanese satay sellers occupied part of the shops.

Theywere affectionately known as Wak Sentano and Wak Sapari. I believe Muaris the only town in Johor that serves satay for breakfast.

Myfirst experience of having satay was when as a child in 1946, my fatherbrought me along to collect his salary and stopped by a coffee shopwhere Wak Sapari sold his wares. Even to this day, I make a bee line tothis shop at No.11 Jalan Sulaiman every time I return to Muar.

The business is now run by Sapari's third generation grandchildren. Thesatay is usually accompanied with a bowl of lodeh (chunks of ketupat,and vermicelli drowned in coconut gravy).

The other nephews whohave roads named after them were Ungku Daud (Jalan Daud), ResidentCommissioner from 1922 to 1926, Ungku Ali (Jalan Ali), Ungku Othman(Jalan Othman), otherwise known as Othman London and educated togetherwith Datuk Seri Amar DiRaja Abdul Rahman Andak in London, and UngkuOmar Ahmad (Jalan Omri).

Ungku Omar, who was the son ofSultan Abu Bakar's sister Ungku Zahrah, was also known as UngkuPengadil as he was the magistrate there in 1895.

Then, therewas Jalan Abdullah, named after Major Datuk Abdullah Jaafar, theResident Commissioner (from 1906 to 1912) and who became the MenteriBesar in 1926.

Jalan Abdullah used to have the Asiatic cinemahall that screened Hindustani (now Bollywood) movies. It also showedWestern reruns. Tickets were priced at 40 cents for second class seats.The cinema hall has now been converted into shopping lots.
