The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Portage routes across Malay Peninsula))
((More citations needed|date=January 2016))

The '''Laluan Penarikan''' (Malay 'portage route') were a series of [[portage]] routes across the [[Malay Peninsula]]. The most famous of these routes connected the [[Muar River]] with the [[Pahang River]]. The Penarikan shortened the journey of [[water vessel]]s sailing between the [[Strait of Malacca]] and the [[South China Sea]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=d-BUAgAAQBAJ&dq=Penarikan&pg=PA246 Maps of Malaysia and Borneo: Discovery, Statehood and Progress, By Fr Durand, Richard Curtis]</ref><ref>((cite web|url=https://alternatif.press/articles/laluan-silam-sejarah-lagenda-dan-rahsia|title=Laluan Silam: Sejarah, Lagenda dan Rahsia|trans-title=Ancient Route: History, Legend and Secret|author=Rizuan Abdul Hamid|website=Alternatif|language=ms|date=4 May 2021|access-date=26 May 2021))</ref>

==History==
In the ancient times, the rivers [[Muar River|Muar]] and [[Pahang River|Pahang]] were nearly connected at a place called [[Jempol District|Jempol]] specifically in town of [[Bahau]], in present-day [[Negeri Sembilan]], where the Muar meets the Jempol River. The Serting River, not far from the [[confluence]] of the former two, flows into the Bera River, a tributary of the Pahang. The ''Penarikan'' allowed trading boats between ports and harbours or places from both sides of the [[Malay peninsula]], like traders from [[Malacca]] or [[Muar (town)|Muar]] could continue their journey along the Muar until they reach Kuala Pahang in [[Pekan]], or [[Kuala Lipis]] to continue into [[Terengganu]], [[Kelantan]] or [[Perak]].

At the ''Penarikan'', the locals help will be required to pull the boats overland. The distance is about 300 meters and because of the action of pulling of boats overland, the route is named ''Penarikan'', which is the Malay word for pulling.

[[File:Silk route.jpg|thumb|250px|The economically important [[Silk Road]] (red) and spice [[trade routes]] (blue) were blocked by the [[Seljuk Empire]] c. 1090, triggering the [[Crusades]], and by the [[Ottoman Empire]] c. 1453, which spurred the [[Age of Discovery]] and [[Colonialism|European Colonialism]].]]

[[File:Penarikan.jpg|250px|thumb|The [[confluence]] between the [[Muar River|Muar]] (left) and Jempol Rivers  at Kampung Jambu Lapan, [[Bahau]], [[Jempol District]], [[Negeri Sembilan]], is the midpoint of the ''Penarikan''.]]

The ''Penarikan'' could have been discovered circa [[14th century]], way before the days of the [[Malacca Sultanate]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=w7AqZR1ZUZgC&q=land+Routes Leaves of the Same Tree: Trade and Ethnicity in the Straits of Melaka, By Leonard Y. Andaya]</ref> The [[Arab people|Arab]] [[merchants]] were actively [[trading]] as well as [[Dawah|spreading]] Islam. When Malacca was discovered, they came to Malacca for trade and at the same time; the [[Pasai]] came to Malacca too to acquire their daily sundries. Coincidentally, these are the same group of people whom they spread the religion to. The Arabs complained to the Pasai about the trials and tribulations of trading in Siam because of the arduous journey through the [[Strait of Malacca]], then on the Straits of Terbrau before they can continue the voyage through the [[South China Sea]] towards their destination in [[Siam]]. This voyage which take weeks is extremely lengthy and difficult. After listening to the grouses of the Arab merchants, the Pasai revealed that there was a short cut where they could avoid the arduous voyage.

However, they have to pull their boats off shore for a kilometer or so. Learning of this, the Arabs endeavoured to try out this route. One day, the Pasai show this route to the Arabs. First, they sailed from Malacca along the Muar River to reach  Jempol River, from where they have to pull the boats on shore for a short distance to get into the Serting River. They then continue their journey along the Bera River to arrive at Kuala Bera from which they proceeded to the [[South China Sea]] via Pahang River — and finally to their destination in Siam. The Arabs discovered that even though they have to go on land for a part of the journey, it was very much shorter. So from that day onwards, they decided to use this route and the ''Penarikan'' became famous ever since.

The ''Penarikan'' played a vital role in the military operations between Siam and Malacca. Using this route, the Siamese have launched many attacks against Malacca. A troop was sent to make an [[ambush]]. Half of the troop stayed near the ''Penarikan'' as backup and the other half attacked Malacca. However, the backup group has another mission, they have to dig a big [[canal]] measuring 30 feet by 20 feet in depth, so that they could connect the two rivers, Jempol and Serting River.

A leader of the Siamese army was later buried near the ''Penarikan''. The tombstone was believed to have been transported all the way from Siam. The Siamese leader's grave could still be found near the route, which dates back to 1265.

The ''Penarikan'' has also witnessed many significant events in history. The famous Malaccan warrior [[Hang Tuah]], while on the run with Tun Teja, used ''Penarikan'' to flee to Pahang. The last Sultan of Malacca, [[Sultan Mahmud Shah]], after the conquest of Malacca by the [[Portuguese Empire]] had also used ''Penarikan'' to escape to Pahang.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=2rYLAAAAIAAJ&q=Jalan+Penarikan Sejarah Malaysia, Barbara Watson Andaya, Leonard Yuzon Andaya, Macmillan, 1983 - Malaysia - 391 pages]</ref>

In 1613, a Portuguese officer wrote that he took a boat ride from Muar to Pekan, and the journey took him six days. A map produced in 1598 showed that the Muar River and the Pahang River is connected at a place which is now called [[Serting]] in [[Negeri Sembilan]].

The Muar River - Pahang River ''Penarikan'' route is a safer route to the South China Sea or to the Straits of Malacca, because there were no disturbances and threats of [[piracy]] that reign the seas.

Apart from that there were also signs of trading activities, whereby goods changed hands at this point. These means the boats from Pahang with the produce they carry stopped here, transact and pick up goods that are east bound and return to Pahang. Similarly, boats from Muar, bringing goods from Malacca and [[Singapore]] were brought to the ''Penarikan'', where [[barter trade]] occurred.
