Batu Berendam (translated as immersed rock) is a town and suburb of Malacca City in the Malaysian state of Malacca. Located 7 km north of the city centre, it is home to the state's principal airport â Malacca Airport which was built in 1952, as well as an eponymous free industrial zone built in 1973, which houses mostly overseas-based electronics factory.
Until the 1970s, Batu Berendam was a relatively rural village, with rice farming being the main economic activity. Batu Berendam used to be accessible by train from Pulau Sebang like other towns along the Malacca River during the British colonial era, until the Imperial Japanese Army dismantled the railway track during World War II, part of which ran through what is now the airport runway.
