Jom Taman Negara, Jom Merapoh!

It’s been a week since my last post. Last week, I was busy solving Real-time PCR mystery. I spent my weekend at Taman Negara and only arrived home at 11pm last night. Despite all that, I came to work this morning.

The Taman Negara trip was awesome! Being the oldest protected forest area in Malaysia, it’s a MUST-GO for every nature lovers. There are two main entrances to Taman Negara Pahang: Kuala Tahan and Sg Relau via Merapoh. The entrance we used is Merapoh, a small town north of Pahang which is surrounded by limestone caves. It offers most scenic and tranquil experience to visitors.

This trip will not be made possible without iClub. iClub is a new club in UKM and the only one sponsored by an industrial company, GE or General Electric. The club is open to all UKM student regardless of races. iClub is different from other environmental clubs because it organizes various leadership, communication and motivation events to benefit UKM graduates. I’ll keep posting their upcoming activities so stay tuned!

Besides that, this trip is also sponsored by PERHILITAN. Perhilitan has provided us help and accommodation. Although they have limited resources, they are very kind to assist us in every way to make this trip enjoyable. The problems they faced are little funding, lack of publicity and limited staff. iClub has to come up with ways to promote this place and to create public awareness. Therefore, this week I’ll be sharing my experience in promoting Merapoh as the choice of entrance for Taman Negara Pahang. Just look out for many more interesting pictures.
