Temerloh, that is. It is where my dad's family originated. An island in the marshes called Bukit Segumpal, Chenor,Temerloh. Surrounded by the mighty Pahang riverine like a great serpent sinously gripping the earthscape. Just a couple away from Kuala Lumpur, Temerloh used to be and still is known as the Sawmill Town. But with additional captions, the Patin Capital Of the World and the birth place of a songstress Siti Nurhaliza.
Well anyway, it is the birth place of my dad at Padang Lalang, brought up in Kg. Awah and even worked as a estate apprentice/cadet before he went off to further his studies. His grandmother Nyang Lembek is buried. It's where his parents met and where my relatives still lives.
I shall update the history of my father and also Temerloh, just to commence on family history of my Pahang roots.
