Sungai Pengkalan Nangka

Sungai Pengkalan Nangka (30 April, 2017)


Sungai Pengkalan Nangka is a river in Kelantan. It is the main river that flows through the district of Jajahan Tumpat. The river is canalised as it nears the sea. In the old days, it served as a vital source of fresh water, enabling settlements to be established on its banks, including Siamese villages. As a result, we can se a number of Thai Buddhist temples that are located in the vicinity of this river.

Sungai Pengkalan Nangka empties into the South China Sea between Tumpat town and Pantai Seri Tujuh. To prevent flooding of the lowlands, sluice gates were built on the river, off Jalan Masjid Mukim Tujoh.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
