Wedding at Kg Kelantan
Early this morning we headed north to attend a wedding of a cousin's 2 son's. The place is near Lenggong, Perak.
I am too lazy to rewrite about Kampung(Kg) Kelantan (Kelantan Village), so here's the edited version of what I wrote in SEMESTA's forum:
To be exact, DH's great-grand-uncle, by the name of Lebai Saat(who was educated in Patanni, Southern Thai) went to the state of Perak (via southern Thai and back into Malaysia) to look for his uncle, Tok Kik. He didn't meet him, but instead met a local lass and settled down there and opened Kg Kelantan. He then took in DH's uncle, Kawi, as his son-in-law. The grooms today are Kawi's grandsons. The people there speak a mixture of Kelantan and Perak dialect - can you imagine that??
This house is over 140 years old - build by Kawi:
Behind the house is part of the Lake Chenderoh - formed by the dam of the same name. Now Abang Bakar, Kawi's son, rear various fishes in it.

Yeah, I came across Kg Kelantan on my way back from Kelantan to KL via the East-West Highway the other day.
Kg Kelantan? There must be a history behind it. What's the Kelantan connection? To be named Kg Kelantan, there must be something significant and interesting.
Zuhdi,
Lebai Saat was the person who opened Kg Kelantan.
Last Saturday, when I talked to some people in Muar, they said in Johor too you can find Kg Kelantan. Somewhere in Batu Pahat, or JB?
