Taman Negara, Pahang

                                    

Taman Negara was established at the Titiwangsa Mountain, in 1938/1939 as the King Georse V National Park. It was renamed to Taman Negara after independence, which means "national park" in Malay. Taman Negara has a total area of 4,343 km² and has a reputation as the world's oldest deciduous rainforest, estimated to be more than 130 million years old. Despite the reputation, the title of "oldest tropical rainforest" more accurately belongs to the Daintree rainforest in Queensland, Australia, estimated to be between 135 million years old and 180 million years old.

                               

The park encompasses three states, Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu, each with its own legislation. The Taman Negara Enactment (Pahang) No. 2 of 1939 is enforced in the state of Pahang, the Taman Negara Enactment (Kelantan) No. 14 of 1938 in the state of Kelantan and the Taman Negara Enactment (Terengganu) No. 6 of 1939 in the state of Terengganu. The enactments have similar contents.
