I've climb this mountain few times; I've pass through this mountain range every day since early 1980s'; I was told there is a natural formed tunnel in the mountain range ..... but I do not know that there is a beautiful cave in it! There are many flora and fauna found here!
I've an opportunity to visit this mountain range early October 2013 with Malaysia Nature Society, Perak but time doesn't permit, however today I was asked by Dr. Pan (WWF) to join him.The purpose is to see how this mountain range can be preserve. The part of the mountain range to be preserve has been identified whereby there are 3 temples, a natural tunnel and cave in it.
There are about 300 acres of land belongs to State Secretary Incorporated (SSI) which has been leased to a few vegetables farmers. On the course of the visit, an old farmer told us that this area once a killing fields by the Japanese Imperial Army during the 2nd world war later its was a communist hide-out. An isolated area here was once planted with 'ganja' (marijuana)!
The cement factory once belong to Associated Pan Malayan Cement (APMC) in early 1970s' was took over by Blue Circle in late 1980s' and changed to Lafarge Malayan Cement in mid 1990s'.
This remaining mountain range contains the tunnel and cave and portion of the vegetation land shall be preserved as historical heritage and geo-park!
