Origins of Lok Heng
A long time ago…there were three famous lumberjacks in the Kota Tinggi District. Ah Ping, Hwang Hua and Lok Heng..
The three of them wanted to prove to each other,who is the best lumbers in that land. So they made a competition..whoever is the fastest to clear one hilltop would be the Champion.
Off they went to the hills…with their powerful chainsaws, trees fell down like flies hit by ridsect. The hilltops where they compete were almost clear. The competition was very close.
This ravenous act has angered the ‘penunggu’ (spirit) of the hills. So the ‘penunggu’ has put a curse on them. All the three lumberjacks couldn’t find their way down the hills and stuck there for eternity.
Their friends and families tried to look for them for days and weeks but to no avail.
Commemorating to the memory of these three cursed lumberjacks..the three hills where they were lost was named after them.
Nobody dared to come close there and develop the area, until the Johor State has granted the land to FELDA.
Thus..three FELDA emerged from that area..Felda Bukit Aping, Felda Bukit Wa Ha and Felda Lok Heng.
