yes. i live in town. i love my town. i live in kota bharu.
Kota Bharu (Jawi:??? ?????) (or Kota Baru or Kota Baharu), a city in Malaysia, is the state capital of Kelantan. It is also the name of a district in which Kota Bharu City is situated. The name means 'new city' or 'new castle/fort' in Malay. Kota Bharu is in the northeastern part of Peninsular Malaysia, and lies near the mouth of the Kelantan River at 6°8'N 102°15'E. In 2004, it had an estimated population of 280,000.
This northeastern Malaysian city is close to the Thai border, and is home to many mosques and Thai-style Buddhist temples. Also of interest are various museums and the unique architecture of the old royal palace (still occupied by the sultan and sultanah and off-limits to visitors but viewable from outside) and former royal buildings (which can be visited) in the center of town.
