Ledang is a new district in Johor, Malaysia. The district's principal town is Tangkak. The new Ledang district covers Tangkak town, Tanjung Agas, Kesang, Sungai Mati, Serom, Sagil and Bukit Gambir. The district is formerly as the northern part of the Muar district which is separated from the southern part by the Muar River.[1] A ceremony headed by the sultan on 9 June 2008 saw the official proclamation of Ledang becoming Johor's 10th district.[2]
