Kampung Sentang got its name from the Sentang tree or its scientific name, Azadirachta excelsea. Originated from the Maliaceae species, this well known local tree can be found in the central and northern part of Peninsula Malaysia. In the past, this species was quite unpopular among the foresters and the public.
