Surf in Malaysia? Kuantan? Board Rental and Access?

Question

OK - I've heard you can surf on Malaysia's beautiful east coast. I've never been there myself but I want to make it up there to surf. I would love to get info on how you can rent a board and get to the beach (say, if I took a bus from Singapore) if you don't drive! It doesn't have to be Kuantan (though I read some places it's got the best surf), any good spot closer to Singapore would also be GREAT. I've asked on many surf forums but I haven't had any usable responses. I hope someone will help! Thank you! Thank you! In advance!
