Mount Pulai
Mount Pulai (Malay: Gunung Pulai) is located in the district of Kulai, Johor, Malaysia.
During World War II, Mount Pulai served as the British Commonwealth armies stronghold against the invading Japanese Imperial Army. There are still remnants of a fortress, rails, tunnels, an aircraft landing site and wells deep in the forest. There are initiatives by non-governmental organizations to reintroduce Mount Pulai as a jungle war memorial to educate people on the story of the mount during World War II.
Mount Pulai is the source of the Pulai River which flows through the districts of Kulai, Johor Bahru and Pontian. Excessive mining activities on the foot of the mountain by a Chinese mineral mining company has destroyed the natural landscape of the area.[citation needed] Local villagers in the vicinity of the mountain reported up to 75 floods between 1986 and 2021. The most notable mud flood occurred on 26 December 2001 which resulted in 5 fatalities and the destruction of 4 houses. Consequently, the mountain had been closed for visitors between 2001 and 2015, when the Mount Pulai Recreational Forest 1 reopened.
The mountain features the Pulai Waterfall and Mount Pulai Recreational Forests 1 and 2.
The mountain houses three telecommunication towers. Two are located at the peak of the mountain and another one is located slightly lower from the peak.
