Kemaman is a district in Terengganu, Malaysia. It is bordered by Dungun District to the north and the state of Pahang to the south and west. It is the southern gateway to the state of Terengganu. Located 302 km from Kuala Lumpur and takes 4 hours to travel.

Kemaman is one of my favorite spots in the 80s when I was serving in Kuantan, Pahang. Kemaman borders with Kuantan, so sometimes my colleagues and I would wander around the town of Kemaman. Kemaman is famous for its delicious Keropok lekor, a traditional Malay fish cracker snack originating from the state of Terengganu in Malaysia.

Yayasan Jantung Malaysia in collaboration with the Lions Club of Chukai, Kemaman organized a Heart Disease Awareness Program which took place at SRJK (China) Chukai, Kemaman on 26 October 2013. The program, which ran from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm, was attended by a total of 111 people nearby.

SRJK (China) Chukai, is a Chinese National type school located in Jalan Jakar, Chukai, Terengganu. 

Throughout the program we stayed at Pok Eng Tin Hotel located in Taman Chukai Utama, Chukai, Kemaman, Terengganu. It is 2.4 km to SJK (Cina) Chukai.

Kemaman is a beautiful upcoming tourist attraction that is worth to visit. It may not be as popular as other cities in Malaysia, but don't let that fool you. You will be surprised by some of the unique things to do and places you can explore at this hidden destinations.
