Kampung Buloh

Kampung Buloh lies in the inland river country of Terengganu. An inscribed stone found here bears one of the earliest Malay texts written in Jawi, the Arabic-derived script used for the Malay language. It records a ruler's proclamation of Islamic obligations and laws. The stone's damaged date has been read in different ways, but it belongs to the fourteenth century and bears witness to the early establishment of Islam on the peninsula's eastern coast.
