Sang Kelembai or otherwise known as Sang Gedembai is a famous character in Malay folklore. Folks claimed that Sang Kelembai was a spirit with supernatural powers who lived in the forest far away from humans. Sang Kelembai possessed the power to transform any object he greeted or cursed into stone. Apparently one day when Sang Kelembai was crossing Sungai Pahang he discovered an object blocking his way. This object was a sawar, a kind of traditional equipment used to catch fish. Annoyed because his journey was delayed by it, he cursed the sawar and it turned into a stone resembling its former shape. The name Kampung Batu Sawar is taken from this stone.


Recreation Area Education

Today, in Kampung Batu Sawar, a football field, badminton hall and sepak takraw court are established for sports buffs. For the little ones, a playground is developed here so that they could enjoy playing with their family members. All of these recreational facilities are supervised by the Municipal Council. As an alternative of recreational activities, some villagers love to indulge in fishing.

Education wise, Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Batu Sawar (SRK Batu Sawar) is the only primary school in this village. Established in 1951, there are now about 90 students studying in this school. Although the number is quite small, their academic achievement is laudable. For instance, the school has achieved the highest percentage of qualification in the recent Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) for Temerloh District.
