Muar Municipal Council, Municipal council in Muar, Johor, Malaysia.
Muar Municipal Council is an administrative body that oversees urban development, waste management, and infrastructure maintenance across the Muar district in Johor state. The institution maintains several offices, including a main location on Jalan Maharani, where residents access services like road maintenance and building permits.
The institution started as a Sanitary Board in 1903 and underwent several administrative restructurings across the following decades. It gained municipal council status on January 1, 2001, establishing its current form as the city's main administrative body.
The council's name in Jawi script, مجليس ڤربندرن موار, appeared on its emblem until 1 January 2018, when it was replaced by the flag of Muar District. The Johor state motto in Jawi, Kepada Allah Berserah (To Allah we Surrender), took the freed space on the shield, which is topped by the Johor Royal Crown and flanked by two tigers.
The offices are open during standard weekday working hours, and visitors should bring relevant documents to handle their requests efficiently. It helps to check in advance which specific department you need, since the facility offers multiple services under one roof.
The council's emblem was changed on 1 January 2018: the intertwined arrows and the motto "Cekap Amanah Dinamik Makmur" were removed, the Muar District flag took their place, and the Johor motto "Kepada Allah Berserah" moved into the green arc. The shield is topped by the Johor Royal Crown and flanked by two Johor tigers.
