Pasir Gudang, Industrial port city in Johor State, Malaysia.

The city contains major port facilities, petrochemical plants, and manufacturing zones, forming a central economic hub in southern Malaysia's Johor state.

The area transformed from Kampung Pasir Udang, founded in 1918 by Long Abu from Riau, Indonesia, into multiple settlements that merged into the current city.

The International Kite Festival brings participants to Kite Hill each year, featuring demonstrations of traditional and modern kite designs at Malaysia's first kite museum.

Transportation infrastructure includes the Pasir Gudang Highway, connecting to Johor Port and Tanjung Langsat Port for efficient cargo movement throughout the region.

The name derives from sand warehousing operations that stored and exported construction materials to Singapore during the mid-nineteenth century development period.
