Simpang Bekoh

Simpang Bekoh is a border town in Jasin District in the Malaysian state of Malacca, close to the state border with Johor. It was established in 1945 and is also known locally simply as Simpang. Because of its position near the border it is a transport hub, and roadworks on Jalan Nyalas or Jalan Bekoh can back up traffic and force detours through Nyalas and Kampung Parit Keliling. Jalan Bekoh is the main route to Tangkak, Muar and Segamat in Johor, and Jalan Asahan-Jementah leads to Asahan, Kampung Relau and Jementah. Taman Bekoh Jaya, a housing area set up in the 1990s, lies within it. Fourteen old wooden shoplots, some more than a century old, burned in a fire on 21 July 2025.
