Morning mist hover the Muar River
mouth. High-masted sailboats� like these seldom found in other part of
the country except in Muar and Malacca. These boats are similar to the ones

Another ariel view of Muar showing the town and river going upstream. This picture was probably taken in the
1970's because as we enter the town from the bridge, there is a roundabout. In the mid 1980s the roundabout was changed into a one way junction.
The area around Tanjung Agas is occupied by trees. Now it has become� an
industrial estate occupying various types of manufacturing plants ranging from
semiconductors to furniture, food products, etc.(Photo contributed by: Leong Tatt Man. Large:
