Cruise Map
The Batu Pahat River was marked on 16th-century Portuguese maps and referred to by Tom Pires as Rio Formosa, which translates to "Beautiful River."
​
Notably, Abdullah Munsyi recorded that the Portuguese were present in Malacca from 1511 until 1624, and during that time, they mapped Batu Pahat River and Mount Banang under the name Formosa, noting their presence in journals.
