Located about 70km from Ipoh, the Historical Complex pays tribute to warriors such as Dato' Sagor and Dato' Maharaja Lela; there are memorials erected in their honour, in the shape of a sundang (broad sword), a replica of the type of knife used in the killing of Mr. Birch.

A tour of this museum will reveal the grandeur of the Kelantanese traditional ceremonies and customs. Inside, visitors can find an extensive collection of Kelantan's historical documentation, rare artefacts, photographs and exhibits which portray the state's rich cultural heritage.

Sultan Mahmud airport to be upgraded
Monday September 6, 2010
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.as...sec=southneast

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Sultan Mahmud Airport (LTSM) here will be upgraded into an international airport soon, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said.

He said the matter had been decided at a meeting of the Housing and Local Government Action Council recently.

“This can further strengthen the tourism sector in Terengganu where the economy in future will no longer depend on oil and gas but the tourism sector,” he told reporters after a meeting with teachers in Kuala Terengganu Utara at the Indoor Stadium, Gong Badak Sports Complex on Saturday.

Ahmad said it was hoped that the airport would become the main entry point to the East Coast when it accepted flights especially from South East Asian countries and South China. LTSM has the third longest runway in this country after the KL International Airport (KLIA) and Subang Airport. — Bernama
