Bukit Putus, Negeri Sembilan

Bukit Putus (Negeri Sembilan Malay: Bukik Putuih) is a mountain pass situated on the boundary between Seremban dan Kuala Pilah Districts in the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan, sandwiched between the Telapak Buruk-Berembun massif and Mount Angsi of the Negri Titiwangsa.

The mountain pass connects the Seremban suburb of Paroi in the west with Ulu Bendul in the east.

The Bukit Putus Viaduct, the fourth tallest bridge in Malaysia, carries a section of Federal Route 51.

Bukit Putus is infamous for being the site of the Battle of Bukit Putus of 1875,[1] which was resulted from a conflict between Seri Menanti and the chiefdoms of Sungai Ujong, Jelebu and Rembau following the installation of Tunku Antah as Yamtuan Besar, which was validated by Seri Menanti's royal domains (Luak Tanah Mengandung) and Johol.

This led to the subsequent dissolution of Negeri Sembilan, where Sungai Ujong, Jelebu and Rembau decisively left the confederacy in protest to the installation, as it was deemed has infringed their rights as Undang to elect and nominate a new Yamtuan Besar.
