Kerteh
Kerteh (est. pop. (2000 census): 3,064)[1] is a town in the district of Kemaman in southern Terengganu, Malaysia, about 30 km or 20 minutes' drive north of Chukai. Kerteh is the base of operations for Petronas in Terengganu, overseeing the oil platform operations off the state's coast as well as petrochemicals production and crude oil refining in nearby Paka. The Ma'Daerah turtle sanctuary is also nearby. Kerteh is served by the Kerteh Airport, a small airport catering mostly to helicopter flights to offshore oil platforms and charter plane flights for Petronas staff to Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport near Kuala Lumpur. It also has the first Mc Donald restaurant in Terengganu.
Trivia
- Despite its location in socially conservative Terengganu, Kerteh hosts a local chapter of the international drinking club Hash House Harriers (KH3).
