KEMAMAN
Kemaman is the southern-most district in Terengganu with Chukai as its district capital and administrative centre. It is by far the most developed district in the state thanks to the discovery of petroleum. Petroleum based industries mushroomed to cater supplies from the offshore petroleum platform in the South China Sea. Chukai was once a busy port catering the needs of many traders from the distant shores. Many of them were captivated by the beauty of the land and decided to settle for good bringing along their traditions, culture and heritage. It is of little wonder Kemaman has such houses as the Rumah Jambi and Masjid Jambi that are built by the descendants of settlers from Jambi, Sumatera. These buildings are unique in the sense that these foreign concepts could be incorporated into Terengganu’s local community. Kemaman is also famous for its fireflies sanctuary at Sungai Yak Yah, Kampung Ibok.
