City

Pasir Gudang

South-eastern Asia

Pasir Gudang is a city in eastern Johor Bahru District, Johor, Malaysia, the district that is the second largest in the country by population. Its main industries are transportation and logistics, shipbuilding, petrochemicals and other heavy industries, and the storage and distribution of oil palm products, which are centred on Johor Port and Tanjung Langsat. It was established in 1918 as Kampung Pasir Udang and was founded by Long Abu, who is believed to have come from Riau, Indonesia. The name comes from a sand mine at Kampung Ulu, where sand, pasir in Malay, was dug and kept in stores, gudang in Malay, to be exported to Singapore. The Pasir Gudang Local Authority was established on 1 July 1977.
