Original text on this topic:
It is the region which forms the watershed between th east and west side of the country, and is the source of four rivers: Sungai Ulu Pukin flowing northwards, Sungai Segamat flowing westwards, Sungai Endau flowing eastwards, Sungai Selai flowing to the south. The forest cover in the region is of Lowland Dipterocarp and merges into Upper Diptrocarp at higher altitudes, but at about 1340 m, rocks and granite edge appear and there is an abrupt change to a zone of Montane Ericaceous Forest.
