• Kampung Jenderam Hulu (1870-an)

“Selepas tahun 1911, ramai orang-orang yang tidak mempunyai tanah datang ke Jenderam untuk meminta tanah dan berjumpa dengan Penghulu Naim. Pembahagian tanah telah dibuat oleh Penghulu Naim dan catitan mengenai butir-butir mereka yang telah diberi tanah dibuat oleh Haji Abdullah bin Hussin. Seperti biasa, tiap-tiap seorang diberi 4 ekar tanah kawasan paya untuk bersawah termasuk tapak rumah. Penghulu Naim telah membayarkan premium tanah untuk lebih kurang 50 orang, dan orang-orang yang datang kemudiannya terpaksa membayar premium tanah mereka sendiri. Pada masa itu sesiapa sahaja boleh membuka kawasan baru asalkan dibayar premiumnya.

Antara tahun 1910 dan 1916, lebih daripada 65 keluarga telah ada di sini dan orang-orang dari luar masih lagi datang untuk membuka tanah. Ada juga orang-orang dari Sumatera berketurunan Minangkabau terus datang ke Jenderam kerana saudara mara mereka telah sedia ada di sana. Lebih daripada 90 peratus penduduk Jenderam merupakan orang- orang Sumatera berketurunan Minangkabau dari suku Pili, Jambak, Koto, Melayu dan Cheniaga (Chaniagor).

Apabila siapnya pembukaan kampung ini, penduduknya terus mendirikan sebuah surau yang dindingnya diperbuat daripada kulit kayu Meranti, lantai papan yang bertarah dengan parang dan atapnya daripada daun Bertam yang dianyam. Surau ini juga digunakan sebagai masjid selain menjalankan aktiviti dan pentadbiran masyarakat kampung. Penghulu Naim kerika itu adalah sebagai Ketua Kampung, manakala imam ialah Kari Yassin dan bilal ialah ayah Penghulu Malim dan adiknya Mohd. Rashid. Ada dua buah kedai Melayu yang dipunyai oleh Kari Jaafar dan Baginda Basar.

Pekerjaan penduduk Jenderam pada masa itu bersawah padi, mengerjakan tanah, mencari hasil-hasil hutan dan mencari ikan di Sungai Jenderam. Pada masa pembukaan Ladang Getah pada tahun 1911 di Batu 30, tenaga pekerjanya diambil daripada kalangan penduduk kampung ini yang diketuai oleh Penghulu Naim untuk membuat pekerjaan menebas, menebang, membakar, memerun, merumput dan menanam pokok getah. Pada tahun 1916, penduduk kampung telah diberi kebenaran untuk menanam getah di tanah masing-masing seluas 4 ekar seorang.”

“District Office,
Kajang, 9th January 1911.
Reservation of 5 acres of land for a Mosque and Malay burial ground at Sungei Jendram.

Sir,
I have the honour to seek sanction for the survey and reservation of an area of about 5 acres as shown in red on attached tracing as a Mosque and Burial ground for the Malay community of Sungei Jendram.
2. There is a large and increasing Malay settlement at Sungei Jendram (27th to 29th mile Bangi-Salak road) and the land now asked for is centrally situated as regards the reserve. A mosque and burial ground are certainly required.
3. If approved, the frontage will be used for a Mosque and tanah Wakaf and the back portion for a burial ground - an arrangement which can be assured by issuing a burial license for the back portion of land only.

Sir,
Your Obedient Servant,
