Temerloh

      town, central Peninsular (West) Malaysia, on the Pahang River. The town's residents are primarily engaged in rubber tapping and paddy (rice) farming. Local villagers ferry downriver to trade their produce at a market near the town mosque. Temerloh is a transit point for ferries bound for Pekan on the east coast or southward to Tasek Bera (“pale lake”), a swamp area inhabited by tigers, elephants, crocodiles, and other wildlife. The Temerloh bridge, subject to inundation by monsoonal floodwaters that affected the area's only highway access to the east and west coasts, was replaced by a high bridge in 1973. Pop. (1980) 8,176.
