Kota Putera

Kota Putera, also known as Kampung Raja, is a mukim and the administrative capital of Besut District in the Malaysian state of Terengganu. A king is said to have lived here long ago and had his castle built in the place, but the castle was later moved to the Muzium Kuala Terengganu, leaving only an old building called Istana Tengku Long on the site. Although it lies in Terengganu, the people speak Kelantanese Malay and are culturally Kelantanese because the area is so close to Kelantan. It has a tropical rainforest climate, the Koppen class Af, with moderate rainfall from February to May and heavy to very heavy rainfall in the remaining months. As the central administration of Besut District, it is the place to look for the district's offices.
