Batu Pahat Municipal Council

Emblem history

The original emblem of the Batu Pahat Municipal Council was adopted since its establishment on 1 January 2001. It is a combination of several elements such as the Rub el Hizb to symbolise Islamic Faith, circuit board and waves to symbolise technological progress, as well as three gates and dots to symbolise economical, social and educational progress and citizen harmony and cooperativeness. The Municipal Council's name in Jawi and Romanised Malay script is written at the top of the emblem, while the motto Maju dan Sejahtera (Progress and Prosper) in Romanised Malay is written below.

On 1 January 2018 (its 17th anniversary), the municipal council adopted a new emblem which contains its original emblem inside an oval shield with colours of the Batu Pahat District flag (divided per bend in red and black), supported by two Johor State arms tigers on both sides and topped by the Johor Royal Crown. Its name in Jawi and Romanised Malay has been moved into the outer part of the shield, separated from the original emblem by a white oval, with two sprigs of black peppers between them. The council's motto – Maju dan Sejahtera is now written on a blue scroll under the shield decorated with two yellow leaves.
