Geography

This small town is divided into 5 zones, namely A, B, C, D, E zones, with each zone having more than 50 families or houses. Zone E is located along the main road, where most of the business units, i.e., shop houses, markets are located. Zones C and D are located at the south side of the road while zones A and B are located at the north side of the road. Because zones A and B are located at the higher ground in terms of topography, the residents of zone A and B are traditionally called "the people from the mountain top".

There are two parallel water pipe lines with diameter around 1 meter each extrude out of the ground and run approximately 100 meters before they submerge into higher ground. These exposed pipe lines used to be the good memories of many childhoods as the children would climb on top of them, jump around, play games like "police catches thieves" and so on. These pipe lines "carry" a story of Water Conflict between Malaysia and Singapore. The local people call the pipe lines as Xui Ham Tong.
