Jalan Bentayan, Muar

Jalan Bentayan, Muar (11 September, 2016)


Jalan Bentayan is a street in downtown Muar, Johor. It comprises two parts. The section between Jalan Maharani to Jalan Abdullah is one way. From Jalan Abdullah to Jalan Bakri, traffic flow is two ways.

Jalan Bentayan took its name from Fort Bentayan, which in turn took its name from Sungai Bentayan, a tributary of Sungai Muar. The fort in that area, now no longer extant was built by Sultan Mahmud, the last Sultan of Malacca, as a means to thwart invasion. That didn't proof successful, for the Portuguese attacked and took over Muar anyway, forcing Sultan Mahmud to once again flee, to Pagoh.
