 One important and historic
landmark in Kelantan is the Padang Merdeka which is also
known as the Independence Square. This place of interest
is a strip of grass that was set up as a memorial after
World War I. This place was where the British displayed
the body of Tok Janggut, a local hero, who was killed
after organizing an uprising against the British at
Pasir Puteh to protest against land taxes imposed by the
British on the locals in 1915. However, the main
attraction here is are the different museums which are
located in this area.
