Wet World @Batu Pahat Village Resort (16 - 18 Dec 2009)

After a year long of work, it's vacation time. Holidaying in Malaysia is never a boring place as there are always new and exciting places to visit. My family visited the following places in Malaysia from 16 -18 Dec 2009 and found the experience exhilarating and relaxing.

Our first stop enroute to Awana Genting is the water theme park at Batu Pahat. The place are mostly frequented by the locals and we were surprised to find ourselves as the only Singaporean there.

To get there by car from Singapore, exit NS Highway at Yong Peng (U) Stations, not Yong Peng (S). After paying the tol at Yong Peng, turn right and travel straight towards Batu Pahat. About 5 km away, you will pass through 2 traffic lights. On the second traffic lights, turn left. You will also see a road signage "Tongkah Peccah" and "Batu Pahat". Proceed straight until you see the Water theme park signage on the right. Turn into the park and drive all the way in. The theme park is there.

Cameron Highlands was found in 1885 by William Cameron which was eventually have the area named in his honour. William Cameron was on an expedition sent by the British government. The plateau he found is at an altitude of ~6000ft (1,800m) above sea-level and the temperature falls between 8°C and 25°C.
