Original text on this topic:
The former King George V National Park, now known as Taman Negara, contains large tracts of land in all three of the above-mentioned states, and there is irrefutable evidence of the presence of rhinoceros within that part of Pahang and also in a high remote region in South Kelantan. Last year a solitary adult was seen in Tembeling valley near Park Headquarters and was seen again some weeks ago. To the east and south east of the park (in the upper reaches of the Sungei Tekai and the foothills of Gunong Irong and Gunong Tapis) there is a great sweep of unexplored difficult country which could very easily contain rhinoceros.
