The village has a Chinese cemetery located on a private land (Lot 118,EDR 1267), which was to be gazetted as a cemetery that is not Islamic, overseen by the district government, and does not need tomb excavation or relocation in 2023.[5] In addition to this, an Islamic cemetery also sits in the village.[6]

The jogging track on Lupak Hill (Bukit Lupak) was finished on 25 May 2014, and it is now open for use.[7]
