This
central Pahang town of was originally known
as Pasir Rawa. It is approximately close to
Temerloh, Lanchang, Kampung Tualang, Kampung
Gantok, Mengkarak and Kerdau. In 1901 the town was
identified by the government in its plans for a
new state administrative centre. However, due to a
problem of uneven land, Kuantan was chosen
instead.
Mentakab is located in the district of Temerloh,
but due to the latter's large size and it being
quite a big town, many people often think that it
is a district in its own right.
The bustling nature of this town is attributed to
its having a railway link from the Northeast coast
to the south of Peninsular Malaysia. Trains from
Gemas and Tumpat in Kelantan go through Mentakab.
The original roads from Kuala Lumpur to Kuantan
also pass through this town. In addition to this
the Semantan River runs right across the town and
its waters used for agricultural activities in the
surrounding areas.
Some famous people that have their names linked to
this town include Datuk Bahaman, Pak Sako (Ishak
Haji Muhammad), and Sudirman Haji Arshad -
dynamite of a singer whose life ended in 1992 at a
young age when his career was at its peak. The
first two individuals are remembered for their
fight against the British during the British
colonisation.
