Gemas
Summary
Gemas (Negeri Sembilan Malay: Gomeh) is a small town and a mukim in Tampin District, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, near the Negeri Sembilan-Johor state border. It is situated 101 km northeast of Seremban, the state capital city, and 32 km north of Segamat, Johor.
Gemas is notable for being at the railway junction between the Malaysian west and east coast rail lines. For this reason, Gemas is busy for a town of its size.
Gemas is accessible via train from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
The whole town of Gemas stretches from Negeri Sembilan, crossing into the border with Johor. The Johorean side of Gemas is known as Gemas Baharu, in Segamat District, which is located about 1 km from Gemas town centre, implying that the original Gemas town centre is on the Negeri Sembilanese side.
To the southwest stands the famed Mount Ledang, also known as Mount Ophir, with a height of 1,276 m.
Malays make up the majority of the population at 83% followed by the Chinese 8%, Indians at 5% and others 4%.

Gemas is located at the intersection of the West Coast and East Coast routes of the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) rail network. Trains from all directions stop at Gemas railway station, making it an important railway hub.
Gemas also marks the southern end of the electrified and double-track section of the West Coast Line. The electrification and double-tracking works were completed in 2013. The electric train services KTM Komuter and ETS services were extended to Gemas in October 2015, increasing services and cutting down travel time to Kuala Lumpur and other northern West Coast destinations.
Gemas is connected to other towns by federal highways Federal Route 1 and Federal Route 10. Federal Route 1 links Gemas with Seremban, the capital of Negeri Sembilan as well as Tampin and all the way to Johor Bahru.
Federal Route 10 links Gemas to Temerloh in Pahang.
