Ayer Hitam

Ayer Hitam is a rest town "(Bandar persinggahan)" in Johor, Malaysia. Located just at the junction of route JKR|1 and route JKR|50, it is known for its many outlets selling pottery and other crafts. It also is one of the port for North-South Expressway.

Commerce

Before the advent of the North-South Expressway, Ayer Hitam was a major route intersection leading to Malacca and Kuala Lumpur going northbound, Johor Bahru and Singapore going southbound, and Kluang and Mersing going eastbound. It was a popular rest stop for many tour buses and travellers between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Visitors could find souvenir shops, restaurants and locals peddling to sell their vegetables.

The Caltex gas station ( [http://www.sjk.com.my Seah Jin Kee] ) located right at the town intersection is one of the many established companies that still called Ayer Hitam as their headquarter. Today you will find several government colleges in the vicinity and some internet-based companies ( e.g. [http://www.postingavenue.com Posting Avenue] ) sprouting.
