KotaSAS
township located about 10 km from Kuantan
Kota Sultan Ahmad Shah (Jawi: كوتا سلطان احمد شاه), known as KotaSAS, is a planned township located about 10 kilometers northwest of Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia. It will serve as the new administrative centre for the state once fully completed.
The development of KotaSAS as a new township started in 2006, with Tanah Makmur Berhad commissioned as the main developer. The currently under-construction ECRL project has included a station to serve this township that bears its name, situated roughly a kilometer away, making this township accessible to the rest of the Malaysian rail network.

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 4, 2026.
