The Batu Pahat Well.

The Batu Pahat Well (Malay: Perigi Batu Pahat) is a historic well at the village of Minyak Beku, Batu Pahat District, Johor, Malaysia. It was allegedly built during the 15th-century by fleeing Siamese soldiers from the Malacca Sultanate, who chiselled the rocks around it in search of water.[1] It was said that the name of the town of Batu Pahat was originated from the well's name. It is currently one of the most popular tourist destinations of the area.[2]
