Rasah is a small town in
Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.
Sungai Ujong came into existence with the discovery of tin ore in the
1870s like most major towns in Peninsular Malaysia. The discovery of tin
in a nearby area called Rasah, saw an influx of Arab, Malay and Chinese
immigrants to work on the mines and trade there. Most of the local Malays
were farmers.
Rasah has many housing estates
encircling it - Taman Rasah, Taman Rasah Jaya, Taman Desa Rasah, Taman
Harapan Baru, Taman Happy, Taman Thivy Jaya, Taman Sri Putih, Taman Nuri
Indah, Taman Anggur are few to named.
There are various places of
worship here, of many faiths. The most prominent one is Rasah Shri
Mahamariamman Temple, situated in the foothills near
Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital.
