A fortnight past, a compatriot and I embarked upon a sojourn to explore a time-honored thoroughfare known as Jalan Penarikan. Permit me to weave a tale of this antiquated route.
Jalan Penarikan, a portage of yore, forged a vital link between the sinuous veins of the Muar river system and the coursing arteries of the Pahang river system.
At the confluence of destiny, these two aqueous realms drew closest, intertwined by the sinuous tributaries of Jempol and Serting. The Jempol river, a tributary that meanders into the Muar river, dances in proximity to the Serting river, which gracefully spills its waters into the Bera river, eventually converging with the Pahang river.
In the tapestry of geography, Jalan Penarikan found its place upon a plain where the Jempol and Serting rivers, mere kin in distance, stand a mere 500 meters apart. In this space, a singular opportunity unfolded, allowing vessels to traverse the plain by the sheer force of human endeavor. Thus, a passage emerged, connecting the Muar river, which gracefully flows into the Straits of Melaka on the western shores of Peninsular Malaysia, with the Pahang river, whose journey leads to the embrace of the South China Sea on the eastern frontier.
