Passing through the seemingly never-ending expanse of oil palm plantation is breathtaking. Especially for first time visitors in Batu Pahat, the lush greenery rarely found in the bustling cities can soothe the eyes. Once in a while, when you leave the maddening city for the villages, the effect is awesome. Besides the rows of oil palm trees there are also rows of rubber trees growing alongside the roads. The traces of development are visible once you enter Batu Pahat town. In addition to the government’s buildings in the middle of town, there are also several supermarkets to cater to the needs of Batu Pahat residents.
