"Batang Berjuntai" means a dangling branch in Malay. There used to be a railway line connecting Batang Berjuntai with Batu Arang and onwards to the mainline of Malayan Railways at Kuang. The line between the town and Batu Arang was dismantled by the Japanese during World War II and never reconstructed.
In 2007 the name Batang Berjuntai was renamed "Bestari Jaya" due to censorship by the government, as "batang berjuntai" had phallic connotations.
