JOHOR - KLUANG

Kluang name derives from the Malay word 'bat', which means a big bat or fruit bats. 

Kluang is located in the heart of Johor State, surrounded by all regions, except Muar. The city was founded in 1915 as the administrative capital of central Johor by the British. 

The first time I set foot in Kluang town was on 1 November 2008 when coordinating a visit for members of The Institution of Engineers Malaysia to Zenxin Organic Park in Jalan Batu Pahat, Kluang, Johor.






As Malaysia’s leading producer, distributor and retailer of organic produce, and also a member of International Federation of Organic Farm Movements (IFOAM), ZENXIN has successfully created a completely certified organic production chain comprising compost factory, organic farms and organic wholesaler certified by National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia (NASAA).

ZENXIN is also certified organic under myOrganic, as accredited by The Department of Agriculture, Malaysia.


I had the opportunity visit Kluang City against while working with the Malaysian Heart Foundation

Among the health programs taking place in Kluang are the following:
