+1. Batu Pahat is growing

triplex · April 20th, 2011, 04:48 PM

sibu too.. the only problem is that it is very hard for foreign investors even from peninsular to venture into sarawak market.

johor - muar, batu pahat

pahang - temerloh, mentakab

Sigh.. Any town from the sub-urb of KL+Klang Valley, Penang Metro or JB Metro can beat almost all other non-capital towns in other states. so i will not list them.

Johor = Batu Pahat, Kluang, Muar
Melaka = Ayer Keroh
Negeri Sembilan = Nilai
Perak = Taiping, Teluk Intan
Kedah = Sungai Petani, Kulim

Perlis, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang = sorry but these states dont really have towns that can be considered as towns

Kemaman in Terengganu has the first proper mall in the state while KT has none! petrochemical, polymer industries are big there..

Here is my list of the upcoming non-capital towns (and not forming part of a large conurbation / metro area):

Kedah - Sungai Petani, Kulim
Perak - Taiping, Manjung, Lumut, Teluk Intan
Negri Sembilan - Nilai
Johor - Batu Pahat, Muar, Kluang
Terengganu - Kemaman
Pahang - Bentong, Mentakab, Temerloh
Sarawak - Sibu, Miri, Bintulu
Sabah - Sandakan, Tawau

Actually if wanted to exclude out those in klang valley or those forming part of larger penang metro, then both sungai petani and kulim should not be included as a lot of people travel to work in butterworth/penang daily from this 2 towns.

I haven't been to these two cities for a long time actually, ever since the ECE was completed all the way to Kuantan and Kemaman, LOL!

Still, I won't be surprised to see both Mentakab and Temerloh combining into one large urban conurbation, to easily become the most dominant economic zone and largest city in Central Pahang. Aren't they only around 15-20 km apart?

Yup, I agree that Kuah should be on this list... For a small city of less than 75k people, the skyline can put many larger ones to shame!

It is like a small, low-rise Hong Kong, with the mountains forming a beautiful backdrop to the tower blocks and the sea! Anyway, here's a picture of Kuah that I took from Bras Basah Island to see for yourselves...

Batu Pahat

by chslibrary

fei.pang · March 29th, 2012, 08:18 PM

Batu Pahat!!!

It is growing in such a way that the surrounding areas (Sri Gading, Parit Raja) are likely to merge with it in the next few years. But lacking development across the river (i.e. Peserai side).

There needs to be better city planning in view of these expansions but I don't have much faith... many of the new Tamans behind Taman Maju/Flora Utama etc would be better served if there was a proper dedicated main road and not roads build by the Taman developers themselves.

I live in Gua Musang, Kelantan and Gua Musang is a town. Not a really big town.
