Let's check our location for casting vote at:

Ceh! I have to cast my vote at Pekan, one hour drive from Kuantan. I thought that changing the address on IC from add Pekan to Kuantan will automatically change the location for casting vote.

Some info on Pekan:

Pekan is the royal town of Pahang. There are several palaces here including wooden palace like Istana Mangga Tunggal, Istana Seri Menanti and etc.

Most of the schools in this historical town named after the family tree of Pahang monarchy like Sek. Ren. Keb. Ahmad (my primary school), Kuliah Sultan Abu Bakar, Sek. Men. Keb. Tg Abdullah, Sek. Men (A) Tg Ampuan Fatimah and etc. However, there are few schools named differently like Sek Keb Seri Terentang (the place I hv to cast vote)and Sek Keb Seri Berang (guess the origin of this name?)

Pekan, is always a lovely place to be visited. It is famous with royal dishes which become popular among its people like Puding Raja, Karipap Raja, Murtabak Pekan, to name a few.

In the last 11th election, the parliament seat of Pekan won by Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak with majority more than 22K. He holds the seat since 1976.
