: When the Election Commission announced that a by-election would be held in Simpang Jeram, some people thought it was Simpang Renggam, as they sound somewhat similar.
Based on Statistics Department data in 2022, Simpang Jeram’s size is only 36 square kilometres and it had a population density of 1,857 people per sq km in 2020. The constituency boasts more than 20 primary and secondary schools, kindergartens and Maktab Rendah Sains Mara , health clinics, rural clinics, police stations, post offices, mosques, suraus and temples, making it a conducive place to live in, especially for retirees.
Simpang Jeram’s fertile land makes it an agricultural centre, with oil palm being the most prominent crop covering more than 2,000 hectares, followed by smallholdings involving rubber, sugar cane, coffee, rambutan, and nurseries. Other issues that they want the authorities to resolve include seasonal traffic congestion along Jalan Bakri heading towards Muar town.
Universiti Tun Hussein Onn lecturer Prof Dr Razali Hassan said the authorities should capitalise on Muar’s status as the country’s biggest furniture manufacturing centre by empowering Technical and Vocational Education and Training in the constituency.
