\nBekok began as a quiet settlement built around rubber plantations. For workers and smallholders, the railway was everything \u2014 it connected them to bigger towns like Kluang and Segamat. These days, Bekok carries a nostalgic charm and stands as the western gateway to Taman Endau-Rompin National Park, where adventure and old-world serenity meet.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
