Terengganu

Yahya, okay, here's the nasi dagang.

Yahya says, but I do queue for this nasi dagang restaurant in Srikembangan because that is the nasi dagang Terengganu that I can find in Klang Valley, which tastes like the one in Terengganu.

Yeah, I think this is something that needs to be shared, but maybe you PM us the P or something so that not everybody will know.

No, I also am looking for a good nasi tagang.

I guess for the benefit of everyone, I guess I should give a little bit brief about SZ4.

You know, SZ4 is a strategy alliance between four states, Terengganu, Kelantan on the east coast of the Peninsular Malaysia and Perlis in Kedah on the northern side of the Peninsular Malaysia.

So, as if it was formed because the four states recognize that closer economic cooperation will help us achieve more together as a team.

So, actually, the idea was coined by Dr. Muhammad and Muhammad Tan Sri, Dr. Sri John Guru Abdul Hadi Awang.

You know, Kedah has an established manufacturing base, particularly in Kulimatek.

Everyone knows about it.

Terengganu brings energy and industrial capabilities, Kelantan offers agriculture and industrial, and Perlis strengthens our access to Thailand and the Northern Trading Corridor.

As before, we can jointly promote investment opportunities together.

I disagree with them on nine out of ten things, but I have tremendous respect for, and I'm constantly in awe, is PAS.

And really, my perception of them really changed so much when we went on our trip three years ago to Kelantan and Terengganu, where we would just speak to random Gerai people, a random Grab driver, and so on and so on, blah, blah, blah, and they would reveal that they are PAS members.

And I've just never felt that for any other political party in Malaysia.

And I think that shows the...

And there was a point where many parts of the country, they were not in quote-unquote fear of PAS.

They were making jokes about PAS constantly.

They were like, oh, that's the Kelantan and Terengganu party.

That's the Kelantan.

One feature of the Entente was an agreement that all lands east of the Menam River Basin, in which Bangkok lies, were under French influence, and all lands west of it under British influence.

France thus gained a free hand to appropriate the Siamese province of Battambang in nineteen oh seven, and England to appropriate in nineteen oh nine Malay states, Kedah, Kelantan, Trengganu, and Perlis, situated on the smaller peninsula which runs south from Siam.

England, we may as well note in this connection, had already secured the other Malay states and the island of Singapore at the tip of the peninsula, and thus gained command of one of the world's greatest waterways, the Straits of Malacca, through which passes the trade of the Far East and the East Indies.

But to return to Siam.

More, I can't say now.

They sent him from Kuala Terengganu.

Asman his name was.

Asman Latif.

Mm.

So I went for, like, this boot camp over at Terengganu, which was, like, so magical.

Mm.

So we had, like, workshops about, like, uh, the current problems in the ocean landscape, like ocean conservation landscape and, like, for turtles, everything.

Any kind of stimulation is good for the market.

Should it be a blanket thing? Because obviously property prices are very different from, say, you know, what you find in KL, Penang, Johor, as opposed to, say, rural Pahang and Terengganu, right? I mean-

Yeah

... um, should the approach be a blanket one?

It's, uh, the east, uh, no, West Malaysia, at the heartland of Malay.

It's a state called Terengganu.

So I grew up together, most of my friends, nine out of 10 were Malay.

It's a fishing village.

We speak Hainanese at home.

Mm-hmm.

But in Terengganu, most of the Chinese, we speak Hokkien.

And because we always watch TV series, most of the TV, TV series are from Hong Kong.
