Sungai Muntoh (Jawi: سوڠاي مونتوه; Chinese: 双溪文都) is a semi-agricultural small town in Jelebu District, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia with less than 3,500 in total population.
[1]Sungai Muntoh is located at the northern fringe of an intermontane valley that encompasses central Jelebu, in the middle of the Negri Titiwangsa.
The town's booming mining business and rubber plantation drew foreign indentured labors from China and India, who were paid low wages.
During World War II, when Jelebu was invaded by the Japanese, cruel acts performed on the locals included massacre and genocide.
The rubber business is in decline over the years since younger generations seek to improve their lifestyles in nearby cities with most notably Kuala Lumpur and Seremban.
Sungai Muntoh's dense rainforest is home to a huge variety of flora and faunas, including many endangered species.
Rare types of blue-headed centipedes and the highly venomous colorful scorpions are found in Sungai Muntoh as well.
A colorful peacock-like long-tailed flying creature about 2 ft tall was a usual sighting too, until illegal deforestation took place in less than a decade ago.
