F.F. Lin:
There are simply too many Buddhist temples in Kelantan, especially those of Thai influence (listing of Thai Buddhist temples in Kelantan). Kelantanese Malays are generally very friendly And yes, Kelantanese Chinese have no issue with eating pork (”bak kut teh” restaurants can be found in Kota Bharu too), they are free to practice any Chinese cultures and celebrate Chinese celebrations like others. Besides, Chinese schools are readily available too. Don’t be fooled by mis-conceptions portrayed from mainstream medias

By the way, Terengganu is currently (after the 8th Mar 2008 election) under the governance of national ruling party, not PAS.

Thank you for your amazing travelogue. I never knew that a PAS governed state allowed such huge statue of Buddha to be built there. How many temples are there in the State of Kelantan? How about Trengganu? Were the malays friendly? Can the local Chinese there eat pork? Are there Chinese schools in the two states? I heard that the states are governed by extremists.

I may visit these states when I go to Malaysia.
