Kelantan has a place in 20th century history because of its administrative capital Kota Baru, which was famous as the landing point for the Japanese Imperial Army�s invasion of Malaya during World War II in 1941.
It was also the gateway to a record time taken (45 days) for an invading army to conquer a country. The Japanese troops, travelling by bicycle, rampaged from here to Singapore in the south, defeating the British armed forces that finally surrendered to them at the southern tip of the peninsula.
