Peninggalan Kubu di Kelantan
Description
Kubu British ini boleh dijumpai di tepi Jalan Pengkalan Chepa, tidak berapa jauh dari Lapangan Terbang Sultan Ismail Petra. Ia dibina sekitar awal 1940an, sebagai salah satu rangkaian pertahanan British di Pantai Timur Semenanjung Tanah Melayu bagi menghadapi serangan tentera Jepun ketika itu. Serangan tentera Jepun bermula di Pantai Kuala Pak Amat yang berada tidak jauh dari kedudukan kubu ini, sekaligus menjadikannya sebagai salah satu kubu yang pernah digunakan semasa pertempuran bersejarah berkenaan. Kubu ini merupakan salah satu daripada beberapa kubu seumpamanya yang masih tinggal di Jajahan Jota Bharu, dan di negeri Kelantan dan dianggap amat bernilai dari segi sejarah tanahair.
The pillbox can be found by the roadside, at Pengkalan Chepa, not far from the Sultan Ismail Petra Airport. It was built around early 1940s, as one of the British defence ports in the East Coast of Malay Peninsular, as a preparation to counter Japanese attack at the time. The Japanese attack did occur close by, at Kuala Pak Amat beach, which means that the pillbox was in fact among those used during the historical battle. It is one of the few remaining pillboxes left in the District of Kota Bharu and is considered to be one of the important historical relics in the country.
