 Temerloh, Pahang
Temerloh is a small town in Central Pahang. It is regarded as the mid-way point between the East Coast and West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
According to oral tradition, Temerloh was established by a group of Minangkabau princes comprising Prince Sujudbilang and his older brothers. With the approval of the Bendahara of Pahang, they sailed up the Pahang River. However the locals were hostile to the arrival of these Minangkabau noblemen. Sujudbilang however tried to befriend the local aborigines or Orang Asli. In the evening, the men lay on the bed of dried leaves around a camp fire.
The name Temerloh is said to have come from an Orang Asli word, "mereloh", meaning to lie down or sleep. The name comes about from the Minangkabau noblemen who slept around the camp fire.
