BATU PAHAT WELL AND ITS DESCRIPTION

BATU PAHAT WELL

  Located along the shore at Minyak Beku near the mouth of the Batu Pahat River, the well was said to have been dug by fleeing Siamese troops after a failed attack on Malacca during the reign of Sultan Mansur Syah, the third Sultan of Malacca who ruled from 1446 to 1459. The Siamese soldiers chiselled a hole in the rock until water flowed. The soldiers, who were being pursued by Malacca forces under Bendahara Tun perak, fled south and sailed back to Siam (Thailand) via the South China Sea. The district of Batu Pahat takes it name from the incident. Batu Pahat means chiselled stone.
