[Source] Kluang - Wikipedia
Kluang was founded in 1915 as the administrative capital of central Johor by the British. It is located in the centre of the state and is within 90 minutes of all major urban areas of Johor.
Kluang's economy transitioned from rubber to palm oil and now has some of Malaysia's largest organic farms. The industrial sector has also grown significantly with multinational investment and a critical mass of tile manufacturers enabling the district to be called the 'tile capital of Malaysia'. The organic farming sector has also boosted Kluang as an ecotourism destination with key farms such as Zenxin, UK Agro and Kahang Organic Rice Farm.
We left Pontian after lunch, and intentionally routed to Kluang before heading to Batu Pahat to return to Muar.
To my surprise, Kluang is indeed a very big city at Johor. I think, it is the biggest city after Johor Bahru (even not, it surely among the top among cities in Johor).
My only intention to Kluang is to visit the Original Kluang Station kopitiam (coffee shop). It is indeed good and full house after we ordered our meals for tea-break.
Worth for my time to purposely come over for a cup of coffee. Will visit Kluang again in near future.
