When King Reman came near to the village, he heard a strange noise from the base of a cluster of elephant bamboos. He then ordered his men to dig it up to find out what made the strange noises.
HISTORY
About a hundred years ago, the area now known as Gerik was still covered by thick forest and was under the rule of King Reman.
Not long after that, King Reman, called Tuan Jagong, came elephant hunting at Gunung Tujuh, near Kuala Kenderong. They heard about the village in the middle of the jungle nearby.

PERAK WAS ONE OF MALAYSIA'S WEALTHIEST STATES DURING MALAYA'S COLONIAL PERIOD, AS MUCH OF MALAYA'S MINERAL DEPOSITS WERE SITUATED HERE. THE TIN INDUSTRY HERE SUBSEQUENTLY FLOURISHED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE BRITISH FUELLED BY THE ONGOING INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION THEN. THE GLOBAL TIN INDUSTRY COLLAPSED IN THE 1980S, SUBSEQUENTLY FORCING THE CLOSURE OF MANY LOCAL TIN MINES CONCURRENTLY CRIPPLING PERAK’S ECONOMY.

THIS TURN OF EVENTS LED THE LOCAL STATE GOVERNMENT TO DIVERSIFY THE ECONOMY'S BASE TOWARDS COMMODITY-BASED MANUFACTURING. THE MID-1980S WITNESSED A LARGE INFLUX OF ELECTRONICS SMES FROM TAIWAN TO SILIBIN AND JELAPANG INDUSTRIAL ESTATES, BUT THESE HAVE RELOCATED TO CHINA IN THE 1990S AS A RESULT OF OUTSOURCING.
