昔加末是马来西亚柔佛州最北部的一个县，主要生产橡胶和油棕。昔加末榴莲闻名马来西亚及新加坡。县内除了昔加末市是最大城市，还有拉美士，利民达，峇都安南，三合港，彼咯和丁能等小市镇。政府有各种计划发展工业，但大部分都半途而废或失败。内陆码头原本要为昔加末带来发展，但由于没有市场而被停用。2006年12月19日的大水灾把大部分昔加末市淹没，造成极大的直接经济损失。

2010年起，昔加末改变了许多。有了不少的大型发展例如: 昔加末-东甲大道,昔加末大型治水计划金马士-新山双轨火车(昔加末将拥有七公里长的高架轨道)。昔加末的内陆码头重开了。银旺广场变成了保龄球场隔邻也有一家9d电影院。而昔加末现今唯一的电影院Lotus Five Star Cinema则坐落在One Segamat购物中心。

Lachin (Azerbaijani:Laçın, literally "hawk") or Berdzor (Armenian:Բերձոր), formerlly Abdallyar, Datschin) is a town internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but currently controlled by the de facto independent unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR). Since 1992 the area has been under the control of NKR, which has renamed the town Berdzor, and acts as the capital of Kashatagh Region. The government of Azerbaijan considers it to be the regional center of its Lachin Rayon. The town and its surrounding region serve as the strategic Lachin corridor connecting the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic with Armenia.
