Kuala Krai District
Kuala Krai District is a district (jajahan) in Kelantan, Malaysia. Historically, it was known as ''Kuala Lebir''. Background The Kuala Krai district is a landlocked district in the centre of the State of Kelantan in northeastern Malaysia. The land is hilly, and before the 20th century the entire area was tropical rain forest. The territory contains the confluence of two major rivers, the Lebir and Galas, to form the Kelantan River, which then flows some 70 km northwards through one of the most densely populated flood plains on the Malay Peninsula to its estuary in the South China Sea near the State capital of Kota Bharu. Kuala Krai was the most affected district in Kelantan by a massive 2014 flood known as Bah Kuning that resulted in property loses and in the federal government declaring a State of Emergency.

The same naming convention applies to these tributaries. Thus to describe the main river from source to mouth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The title of the wife of Datuk is Datin.

The Srivijaya empire was described as a network or mandala that consisted of settlements, villages, and ports each ruled by a datu that vowed their loyalty (''persumpahan'') to the central administration of Srivijayan Maharaja. Unlike the indianized title of raja and maharaja, the term datuk was also found in the Philippines as datu, which suggests its common native Austronesi ...
