The main railway line linking north to south Malaya was built passing through Kluang and this helped in its growth. Roads were built to link Kluang to Johor Bahru towards the south-east, to Batu Pahat towards the south-west and to Mersing towards the north-east.

Kluang District is divided into eight mukims, which are:

  • Kahang
  • Kluang Town
  • Layang-Layang
  • Machap
  • Niyor
  • Paloh
  • Renggam
  • Ulu Benut

Keluang to Kluang

The name Kluang derives from the Malay word ‘keluang‘ which means a type of flying fox or rather a type of fruit bat, which used to be plentiful in the district decades ago. They have almost completely disappeared due to the combination of hunting and destruction of their natural habitat.

Local Councils

Kluang is divided into two local councils namely Simpang Renggam District Council (Malay: Majlis Daerah Simpang Renggam) based at Simpang Renggam Town and Kluang Municipal Council (Malay: Majlis Perbandaran Kluang) based at Kluang Town which is also the district capital.
