Batang Kali is a town and mukim in the Hulu Selangor District of Selangor, Malaysia. It lies at the base of the Titiwangsa Mountains and is a transit point for travellers heading to the Genting Highlands resort, which has encouraged recreational parks and holiday resorts along the connecting road. The town centre, Bandar Utama Batang Kali, is a planned development created on former oil palm plantation land by Ligamas, Ltd. in the early 2000s, after which many new residents arrived. A latex thread factory built by Filmax Sdn Bhd opened there on 23 February 1990. The town is connected to the KTM Port Klang line by Batang Kali railway station and lies on Federal Route 1. The Batang Kali massacre took place here on 12 December 1948 during the Malayan Emergency.
