Ulu Choh

Ulu Choh is a small town in Iskandar Puteri, Kulai District, in the state of Johor, Malaysia, near the border of Pontian District. About fifty years before the article was written it was dense forest, and the government encouraged residents to take up rubber and vegetable farming. Singapore needed a water supply from Johor, and the opening of a branch of its national water agency PUB at Ulu Choh drew in people and created a small village later known as Batu 22, Jalan Kolam Air. Kampung Ulu Choh was formed in 1951, Batu 22 was declared the Ulu Choh Local Council in early 1953 and the first local council election was held in 1959. An extreme sport park, the Ulu Choh Dirt Park, was created in June 2013, and several factories opened in the Ulu Choh Industrial Park in 2014.
