Bukit Koman Raub Pahang


Bukit Koman

Bukit Koman is located not far away from Raub town.

The distance between Raub town and Bukit Koman is around 2 to 3 km. It takes about 10 minutes to drive from Raub town to Bukit Koman in slow speed.


Bukit Koman

The majority of the residents in Bukit Koman are Chinese.

The village was built because of the discovery of gold mine during the old times. As the gold price increase, the abandoned gold mining industry starts operating again.


Australian Gold Mining

We dropped by Bukit Koman was due to the issue of the use of cyanide in gold mining.

The main entrance of Raub Australian Gold Mining is guarded strictly and surrounded with barbed wire. According to local residents, taking photo of the gold mine is prohibited.


Stop Cyanide Mining

With the political situation in Malaysia has determined, the campaign of opposing the use of cyanide in gold mining seems has vanished gradually.

Residents of Bukit Koman as if are neglected by the BN government and forced to live in a polluted environment. Err......is this the objective of People First, Performance Now BN government?


SJKC Yuh Hwa

There is a Chinese primary school in Bukit Koman. What a pity, the school children have to breathe the polluted air.

Bukit Koman appeared because of the discovery of gold mine. Now, Bukit Koman in trouble is also because of gold mine. It's amazing that the fate of Bukit Koman is truly bad.

Hopefully the problem of Bukit Koman will be solved soon and the people there live in healthy environment.

Back from Sapi Island trip, we enjoyed teatime at Fu Yuan Coffee Shop. Located at Jalan Gaya, Fu Yuan Coffee Shop is not far away from Eden 54 Hotel.

Coffee

The coffee of Fu Yuan Coffee Shop is quite popular among the locals of Kota Kinabalu.

After savoring mini cup of coffee at Volendam and Saint Germain, I was amazed with the big glass of coffee served by Fu Yuan Coffee Shop.

Why coffee drinking culture between Asia and Europe are so different?

Apart from bread and coffee, Fu Yuan Coffee Shop also provides dim sum which is almost same with dim sum available in Peninsular.

Fu Yuan Coffee Shop is a self service shop. Food and beverage of Fu Yuan Coffee Shop are average. Most of the workers of Fu Yuan Coffee Shop are like robot.

Sekinchan Swiftlet Breeding


Swiftlet House

Apart from seafood and paddy field, there are quite many swiftlet houses in Sekinchan. The paddy field environment is suitable for breeding swiftlets because the birds hunt for food above paddy field will reduce paddy crop pest problem.

Some swiftlet breeders transform buildings in urban area to breed swiftlets. This selfishness will not only pollute the environment but also affect the daily life of city dwellers.

It can't be denied that swiftlet houses are more appropriate to be built in rural area. Stern action should be taken against those swiftlet house operators who are not considerate.


Swiftlet House

In order to promote Sekinchan tourism, swiftlet breeders can build special swiftlet houses for tourists to visit. Beyond that they can invest in related products of swiftlet breeding.

These two measures may be will enhance Sekinchan tourism industry and increase the income of local residents.

Fraser Hill Silver Park Resort


Silver Park Resort

We stayed in Silver Park Resort during our Fraser Hill three days two nights trip in Jun.

Silver Park Resort

The bedroom light is bright but the old furniture should be changed. The wall seems didn't paint for quite longtime.

Silver Park Resort

The sofa at the living room should be displayed in the museum as antique. Perhaps the management of Silver Park Resort likes to turn the clock back.

Silver Park Resort

The kitchen is clean but no gas for cooking. We didn't boil water because afraid of drinking rusty water mistakenly. For solving the problem, we had to buy a few big bottles of drinking water from the convenient shop.

Silver Park Resort

The paint of the balcony wall has come off. The table and the chair were covered with dust. Otherwise we could relax at the balcony at night.

Silver Park Resort

The Sun showed up from the east outside the window. Jumped down from the bed and looked for my Nikon camera to capture the beautiful sunrise of Fraser Hill.

The Cheerful Volendam Sparrows


Sparrow

The sparrows of Volendam in Netherland are truly lucky.

The habitat of the sparrows is cozy and safe.The birds flock on the big rocks by the sea. They are waiting for the tourists to feed them.


Sparrow

The sparrows are not afraid of the visitors. Instead the birds will approach forward to be feed. It seems that they have been spoiled. That's why their bodies are big and fat.

Malaysia sparrows are thin and small. It shows that Netherlands sparrows are more fortunate. Although both are sparrows but their fates are different.
