Tun Razak Highway route 12 (Lebuhraya Tun Razak), or also known as Segamat-Kuantan Highway (Lebuhraya Segamat-Kuantan) is a 133 km (83 miles) federal highway running from the town of Segamat, Johor to Gambang before proceeding another 38 km (24 miles) via Federal route 2 to Gambang near Kuantan Pahang. This 2-lane federal road is named in honor of Tun Abdul Razak, Malaysia's second Prime Minister which was known as Malaysia's Father of Development.

[edit] History

Built in 1970's under Malaysia's New Economic Policy, this 2-lane federal road is built with reasons as follows:-

  • To shorten the traveling distance time from southwestern towns and cities such as Segamat, Muar, Batu Pahat and Melaka to eastern states of Peninsular Malaysia.
  • To speed up the development of the poorly-developed areas in southern Pahang.
