Kuantan, Malaysia
Tower Story
Kuantan 188, which stands proud on the banks of Kuantan River here, is
not only the latest iconic landmark of Pahang’s first city, but also sets the
night and weekend moods of Kuantan, the capital city of Pahang situated on the East Coast of Malaysia.
Since the first day of its official opening on Feb 21, 2021 the tower, designed with
a tapered profile to symbolise the old Malay weapon of the spear and the
tip of the spear like in the coat of arms of Pahang has been receiving
visitors non-stop who want to check out the second tallest lookout tower in
Malaysia and also the tallest tower in the East Coast Economic Region
(ECER). Kuantan 188 offers magnificent view of South China Sea, biosphere mangrove, Kuantan River, Kuantan city and fisherman’s activity centre.
While viewers will be impressed by the majestic tower during the day, at
night the tower formerly known as Menara Teruntum, illuminates with
coloured lights and shines over Kuantan Waterfront.
Visitors taking the East and West glass elevators are treated to magnificent views of
Kuantan city until they reach the tower porch, which was built inspired by
the leaves and flowers of the Teruntum plant (lumnitzera racemosa), once
said to be abundant on the banks of Kuantan River.
Location of the tower is also very strategic as there are many other
interesting spots within walking distance such as the Kuantan Art Street,
Taman Kerang, a row of old shops in Jalan Besar and Kuantan Waterfront
that allows visitors to take pictures with the giant sign ‘KUANTAN ‘, which
is white during the day before changing its colour at night.
Kuantan 188, developed by the federal government through the East Coast
Economic Region Development Council (ECERDC) in collaboration with the
Pahang government, began construction in August 2017 and obtained a
Certificate of Completion and Compliance in November 2020.
Kuantan 188 will be the catalyst to boost the tourism sector as well as increase investors’ interest in the surrounding areas with various exciting activities that have the
potential to attract locals and foreigners. It will increase tourism activities
