History

The town is infamous for the tragic Bukit Kepong Incident. The government has built a museum to commemorate the actions of the Bukit Kepong police force against the communists, colloquially known as Bintang Tiga (Three Stars). Situated near the Muar river, the museum is opened everyday except on Mondays, with an inexpensive entrance fee. Visitors will get a chance to experience the history of the Bukit Kepong incident through its modern and interactive display galleries.
