You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Kuala Rompin''' or ''Rompin town'' is the largest town of [[Rompin District]], southeastern [[Pahang]], [[Malaysia]]. It is located on the South-East coast of Peninsular Malaysia and faces the South China Sea. It is about ((convert|133|km|abbr=on)) south from Kuantan, the State Capital of [[Pahang]]. From Singapore, travellers must travel ((convert|215|km|abbr=on)) north by the coastal road via the city of Johor Bahru and the town of [[Mersing]]. From the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Rompin is located east and is about 3½ hours journey by road.

== History ==
It was said at one time in this area there is a tree named ''Ru'', or ''Rhu'' (''[[Casuarina equisetifolia]]''). Ru trees are unique compared with other casuarina trees that live here because of its cascading shape. One story tells of ''rhu'' trees having a circumference that can fit as many as 40 people dining together. At first, people call this place name as ''Rhu Ramping'', and eventually ''Rumpin'' and ''Rompin''.

In colonial days, Kuala Rompin was a fishing village that is often visited by traders who commute between [[Singapore]] and [[Kuantan]]. In 1952 the Pahang state government made Rompin an autonomous sub-district under [[Pekan, Pahang|Pekan]].

An Administrative Officer was subsequently appointed, taking the post of ''Assistant District Officer'', to be stationed in the autonomous subdistrict; British officer, J.B. Melford was appointed to that post on 16 December 1952.

On July 31, 1976, the Sultan of Pahang, His Majesty [[Ahmad Shah of Pahang|Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al Musta'in Billah]] upgraded Rompin into a full district, hence separating it from [[Pekan, Pahang|Pekan]] and making Rompin the ninth district of Pahang. Rompin was given [[Rompin (federal constituency)|one vote]] in the [[Dewan Rakyat|parliament]] [[Malaysian general election, 1986|one decade later]].

Today, Rompin District is divided into five mukims (communes), namely [[Pulau Tioman|Tioman]], Endau, Pontian, [[Bandar Muadzam Shah|Keratong]] and Kuala Rompin town.

==Attractions==
Kuala Rompin is probably best known as the gateway to [[Tioman Island]]. However, it is not without its own attractions. The restaurants of Kuala Rompin are famous for their seafood, especially for their freshwater prawns and freshwater clam caught in the surrounding areas especially at the estuary of Sungai Rompin (Rompin River). Crabs and squids are also popular.

Kuala Rompin is also building a name for itself in the sport of sailfish fishing. It is increasingly being recognized as the Sailfish Capital of Asia, and hosts a yearly world-class fishing event, the Royal Pahang International Billfish Challenge. Kuala Rompin is considered to be one of the best places in the world to catch [[Sailfish]].<ref>((cite web |last1=Olander |first1=Doug |title=The World’s Best Sailfish Spots |url=https://www.sportfishingmag.com/worlds-best-sailfish-spots/ |website=sportfishingmag.com |publisher=Sport Fishing Magazine |access-date=21 June 2019))</ref>

==Politics==
The town of Kuala Rompin is situated in the State electoral constituency of Tioman, which was won by YB Mohd. Johari from [[Barisan Nasional]]. Its representative to the Malaysian Parliament is Datuk [[Hasan Arifin]], also from [[Barisan Nasional]].

==Climate==
