Terengganu...the land of beauty! What comes to mind at the mere mentioned of Terengganu is holiday!!!! Beaches, of course!
However, that is not the case for me whenever I visit Terengganu. The visits are always work related. Never had the time for actual visit of historical or interesting places. Terengganu is known for its Pasar Payang, Pulau Redang, Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Kapas, Tasik kenyir etc..That is just naming a few.
The government of Terengganu has done its level best to modernise the State as well as Kuala Terengganu. Kuala Terengganu has recently been upgraded its status to "City Status". To be more apt, it is known as Bandaraya Warisan Pesisir Air.
Just imagine, there was not a single Mc Donald's in KT, now, there is one! The only Mc D you can find for last 10 years was in Kemaman. Credo to Petronas!
In addition to providing the basic infrastructure towards modernisation and increasing the standard level of living, the State of Terengganu has also become the 1st state to take action in developing the human capital of the State. A state that has future in mind.
Primarily, the state is looking at eliminating its position ie having the highest number of people below the poverty level. Note, people who are below level are mostly Malays and Muslims. Hence, by developing human capital is the 1st step to many things. One of the programs that was developed is efarm. Where it comprises programs like M2Farm, Jasper, Anim@ter, SPIKE and D3D. The State envisages that these programs will assist in producing future Technopreneurs for the State. Eventually, bringing the State to the next level via Innovation and Entrepreneurship; and concurrently, eliminating unemployment. All of these, resulting the State as an ICT-centric state and making it one of the ICT hubs of the world.
I hope Terengganu will achieve its noble aspiration and we pray that it does. Big picture - it is for the benefit of the Ummah.

Kak, what's the ADDRESS to visit mosque that got BEST LOOKING/BEAUTIFUL mosques arthifacts/pictures in the world @ Tasik Wan Man?
just asking..tq
i also appreciate with Terengganu.Very beautiful place exspecially in Taman Tamadun Islam..
i totally sympathise with you that the constant trips you made to Terengganu were work related, but i believe every trip was enjoyable. i remembered the first few trips that we made to the 'city' an in particular the trip when we drove from KL for the e-farm launch exhibition. there were 4 of us then; you, me, fina and shamsul. as tiring the trip was, we all admitted at the end of the day, that is was rather relaxing. i don't know about you but i enjoyed my trips there. i guess, one of these days, we have to do a SEV 'team building' at one of the islands.... mmm that's a thought.
I guess I have the same experience like what you had. Terengganu is always about work. And being an environmentalist (konon), it such a wasted opportunity for not being able to visit the beautiful places in the state, especially the beaches and islands.
I had enough with Pantai Kelulut, Pantai Teluk Ketapang. Jom cuti cuti Terengganu! :)
YES !! I am 150% agree with fakha's idea, to have SEV's trip or team building, what ever la....
We have Pulau Kapas, Pulau Redang Pulau Wan Man and many more......
BTW, I agree with you sis, Terengganu has changed a lots, especially the infra over there. However,I hope the tok jiring keropok will remain there even though they going to upgrade that place. If not, WHO going to be our supplier for our "unique business" ???..hehehe..so.. to be safe, make sure you keep that mak cik's phone number...just in case...
Somehow i felt lambakan of all this soft and hard infrastructure made ready to the people of Terengganu were planned by the PEOPLE itself.
They've shown what they could've done close to a decade ago and they aren't afraid to show them the exit door if the results are not there. Kudos to the people of Terengganu.
