Jelebu District

A section of the Titiwangsa along the border between Jelebu and Seremban districts. Included in this stretch are the third and fourth tallest mountains in Negeri Sembilan, Mts. Telapak Buruk and Berembun

The Titiwangsa Mountains, the longest mountain range in Malaysia, transverses through Jelebu District. As a result, most of its terrain are generally heavily forested and mountainous, specifically on its northern and western regions. The eastern and southern parts of the district are relatively flat, where agriculture flourished. Jelebu District is home to Negeri Sembilan's tallest mountain, Mount Besar Hantu (1,462 m), near the border with Pahang. Other significant peaks within the district are Mounts Telapak Buruk (1,193 m) and Berembun (1,014 m), both located along the border with Seremban District. The Pasoh Caves, the southernmost limestone cave complex in Malaysia, is also located in Jelebu. The Pasoh Caves are also known for being the first Paleolithic site in southern Peninsular Malaysia, as well as the southernmost in Malaysia.[4][5][6][7][8]

Jelebu has the warmest climate recorded in Malaysian history. The southwestern part of Jelebu is considered as the driest place in Malaysia. However, in the mornings the temperatures are quite low and visibility is moderate due to the foggy climate.

Jelebu District is divided into 8 mukims, which are:[9]

• Glami Lemi
• Kenaboi
• Kuala Klawang (Capital)
• Peradong
• Pertang
• Triang Hilir

The rubber and mining business made Malaya as one of the richest in natural resources during the British colonial period. Jelebu was one such district that produced some of the world's best quality rubber and steel. Pineapple production there is ranked one of the top in Peninsular Malaysia. For some unknown reasons, Jelebu is home to some of the state's biggest and most advanced rehabilitation centres.

Jelebu is also a major hub for ecotourism, with the presence of nature reserves such as Jeram Toi, FRIM Pasoh, and Kenaboi State Park.

Currently Jelebu constituency is represented in the Dewan Rakyat by Dato' Jalaluddin Bin Alias of UMNO, the leading party of the federal opposition coalition Barisan Nasional.[11]

In turn, Jelebu contributes 4 seats to the Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly:

• Chennah;
• Kuala Klawang;
• Pertang; and
• Sungai Lui.

Sungai Lui constituency is part of Jelebu parliamentary constituency but in district administration, it was part of the Jempol District and therefore in the local government level it was administered by the Jempol District Council (Malay: Majlis Daerah Jempol), which was formed on 28 August 1980 through the merger of the Kuala Klawang Town Board (Malay: Lembaga Bandaran Kuala Klawang) and the local councils (Malay: Majlis Tempatan) of Titi and Pertang.[12]
