Taman Negara entrance fee going up

Taman Negara entrance fee going up after 70 years



The Taman Negara entrance fee has not been raised for 70 years, so come Jan 1, 2020, the state government will increase it from RM1 to RM10 for children aged below 12, RM30 for those aged 13 – 60 and RM15 for those above 61.

“The revision is part of initiatives to improve efficiency and reduce revenue leakage, aside from increasing income which will help the state become independent.

“Greater revenue will benefit the rakyat through aid and development projects,” said Pahang Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, at a gathering of civil servants at Dewan Jubli Perak Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah today.

Pahang State Executive Council Members and State Secretary, Datuk Seri Dr Sallehuddin Ishak, were also present.

Wan Rosdy announced he was very pleased with the performance and achievements of Pahang’s civil servants who ultimately hold the success of a government in their hands.

He said that as an opposition state, Pahang must be capable of raising revenue and continuing its success in line with the motto of “Maju Terus Pahang”.

Becoming more attractive to foreign investors and conglomerates, improving arrears collection and introducing taxes that are not burdensome are some of the initiatives being introduced to increase revenue.

国家公园天气热游客减‧水上餐厅13剩8

国家公园天气热游客减‧水上餐厅13剩8

瓜拉大汉国家公园13家水上餐厅，受到酷热天气的影响，目前只剩下8家继续营业，为游客提供美食。

餐厅业者指出，以往每到周末，便有大量本地游客特地到水上餐厅用餐和观赏沿河风光；随着天气持续炎热，本地人都已减少外出。

虽然还有外国游客，但艾尔尼诺现象带来的干旱，令他们的餐厅搁浅在沙石堆中，生意自然受到冲击。

此外，淡美灵河的水位日益降低，渔夫都难以捕鱼，导致淡水鱼的产量减少，间接影响了餐厅的生意。

水上餐厅业者玛芝娜说，其餐厅的菜肴以淡水鱼为主，以前每天的收入介于300至500令吉，现在才100令吉左右。

“如果情况恶化，看来将有更多水上餐厅关门，暂停营业。”

船夫阿都拉说，这是他担任船夫45以来，首次发生河水浅和船只搁浅或难以行驶的情况。

雨季来临安全考量 彭28森林公园暂关闭

雨季来临安全考量 彭28森林公园暂关闭



彩虹瀑布入山准证措施展延落实。

基于雨季关系及游客安全考量，彭森林局宣布，从11月1日起至明年1月31日，全彭28个森林休闲公园区及云冰州立公园将暂时关闭，基于林明彩虹瀑布入山准证延期，将随后于12月1至1月31日暂关闭2个月，为迎雨季作好准备。

彭亨州森林局是在官网作出上述宣布，而这3个月期间，基于雨季，禁止游客在全彭森林休闲公园进行活动包括爬山等。

而违例的访客，将在1984年国家森林法令下受到对付，一旦罪成，将面对罚款可高达1万令吉或坐牢3个月。

关丹、北根、马兰县森林局事务主任卡鲁安华受访时指出，除了全彭28个森林休闲公园因雨季暂时关闭外，处于森林保留区的林明彩虹瀑布也不例外。

彩虹瀑布下月关闭

“只是基于林明彩虹瀑布入山准证展延落实期，因此推迟至12月1日才关闭，为期2个月。”

“若是雨季或水灾提前结束，该局会依据天气情况，或提早开放彩虹瀑布，让游客进入观光。”

根据森林局官网显示，目前全彭共有28个休闲公园包括关丹的武吉柏灵东及双溪班丹、淡马鲁的微笑山洞，以及云冰的兴楼云冰州立公园等。

民宿业者●符祥展：盼伸缩处理减冲击

我希望当局依据雨季情况，伸缩性处理，避免林明旅游业受到冲击。

一般上，进入雨季冬眠期，基于安全因素，选择进入彩虹瀑布的游客不多，相对冲击也减低。

导游司机●陈志辉：不随意载客进森林

雨季一到，基于危险，不会随意载客进入森林保留区。无论如何，若雨季提前结束，希望当局考量缩短景点关闭期限。

Logging activity in Ulu Tembeling threatens eco-tourism in National Park

Logging activity in Ulu Tembeling threatens eco-tourism in National Park



A section of Ulu Tembeling forest found to be used as timber drop-off zones by a logging contractor during a site visit by the Organisation for the Preservation of Natural Heritage.

The aggressive logging activity carried out in Ulu Tembeling over the past three years had threatened the development of eco-tourism in Kuala Tahan National Park, including the habitat of various types of fresh water fish in Sungai Pengau and Sungai Lau.

Despite the fact that the activity was legally permitted, it had nonetheless caused the two rivers, which are also the sources of water in Pahang, to be badly polluted, to the extent of destroying the habitat of fresh water fish, which was once an important tourist attraction to the district.

In fact, it was believed that the logging activity also posed threats to the habitat of wild animals, including elephants and hornbills.

A recent check carried out by Bernama and representatives from the Organisation for the Preservation of Natural Heritage (PEKA), found patches of elephant droppings along the logging, hence proved that the animal was clearly disturbed by the scrupulous loggers.

It was also found that several spots in the jungle had been cleared, believed to be used as timber drop-off zones by a logging contractor based in Kuala Lumpur.

It is learnt that the logging permit was issued to the contractor for a period between June 15 this year and May 15 next year, involving an area of 216.5ha.

Meanwhile, PEKA president Puan Sri Shariffa Sabrina Syed Akil called for the activity to be stopped immediately for fear of a more serious impact to the eco-system in the area.

"We can see that the rivers become shallower and badly polluted, and this condition will bring about a more negative impact, especially during the monsoon season.

"This is because the forest, which is supposed to be water catchment area, is declining in size and we can see that the logging activity does more harm than good," she said.

She also urged the state government, through its relevant authorities, to go to the ground and monitor the situation to prevent more damage to the environment which could jeopardise the eco-tourism activities in the National Park area.

At the same time, she said PEKA was also planning to hold a meeting and would invite all the relevant quarters, including tour and travel agency operators, state government and local residents, to discuss the issue.

彭亨河水位降 国家公园恐遭破坏

森林过度开发．彭亨河水位降 国家公园恐遭破坏

森林过度开发，导致彭亨河水位下降並日趋干枯，影响自然生態，瓜拉大汉(Kuala Tahan)国家公园也面临遭受破坏的危机。

　瓜拉大汉旅游协会主席加力尔指出，德凯（Tekai）及登伯令森林的树木砍伐及开发活动日渐活跃，导致彭亨河主流的登伯令河水位下降，並出现土地流失现象。

　“尤其是河口处，甘榜末达灵附近的河水已接近干枯。”

引发突发水灾

　加力尔说，除了影响水位，开发活动也导致自然生態受到破坏、鸟类迁移等问题，当豪雨来临时，也引发突发水灾。

　“儘管发展商‘持牌’在特定的森林合法开发，却牵连其他受保护的区域，国家公园为首例。”

　他担心拥有1亿3000万年歷史的国家公园，將因被其他区域的过度开发牵连，继而毁于一旦。

　“国家公园为我国著名的生態旅游胜地，一旦遭受破坏，也將影响旅游业及国家名声。”

　加力尔说，外国旅客千里迢迢到国家公园参观自然生態，但尚未抵达国家公园入口，就看到树木砍伐、罗厘运载树桐等景象，极为讽刺。

　“每日都有200至300辆罗厘，使用进入国家公园的通道，载送树桐。”

水灾重创国家公园‧瓜拉登比灵渡头如死城

水灾重创国家公园‧瓜拉登比灵渡头如死城

往国家公园的著名瓜拉登比灵（Kuala Tembeling）渡头，去年尾遭洪水肆虐后，至今仍然尚未开放，许多经退水之后遗留下的残余废物及泥泞尚未有人到来清除，而靠近渡头的数间餐馆也暂时关门，显得冷冷清清。

由旧渡头搬迁新渡头十余年来，首遭洪水波及的渡头被泛滥的河水淹至梯级入口牌楼，包括处于高势的泊车场及餐厅也遭池鱼之殃，由于瓜拉大汉国家公园里的一些基设施包括数家具规模的度假村旅馆，以及野生动物保护局各种设施遭到洪水百般的蹂躪之后，尚未及时清理及重建，游客也不敢贸然进入国家公园旅游，可见洪水的威力和破坏性，令人难以想象！

昔日光辉不再

自逾20余家传统的的河边经商的华人商店（木屋店）陆续迁出登比灵镇后，就只剩下唯一间靠向渡头的马来咖啡店及一所警亭，让人感觉犹如一个死城，昔日光辉不再，如今再遭到洪水的侵袭之下，更显得冷冷清清，来往人数，屈指可数。

In the heart of Taman Negara

In the heart of Taman Negara

What better way to get back to nature during a holiday, than to stay at a resort that is located right in the heart of Taman Negara. Back in school, national parks always made star appearances in all my essays about conserving the environment.

Little did I know then that I would one day set foot in Malaysia’s premier national park - Taman Negara. Touted as one of the oldest rainforests in the world, Taman Negara encompasses three states, Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu. The park, established in 1939 as the King George V National Park, boasts a myriad of flora and fauna. Nature enthusiasts are bound to get excited with the number of activities to be indulged in, including the chance to get up close and personal with the rainforest’s inhabitants.


At Taman Negara, river cruises are almost an inevitable part of the experience.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the rare sight of a barking deer grazing several metres away from two resting tapirs, close to the entrance of the park. Tapirs are known to be nocturnal and shy by nature, so this was indeed a surprise.

Staff members of Mutiara Taman Negara Resort were also all abuzz about rumoured elephant invasions on resort territory in the past few nights. Sadly, none of us was lucky enough to witness anything except tracks.

At Taman Negara, river cruises are almost an inevitable part of the experience. (Be sure to have your caps and shades, and a healthy dose of sun block on.) Our very first cruise, at midday, was to visit the Kelah Sanctuary.

Here, a rare and highly sought-after type of game fish, the Malaysian Mahseer or ikan kelah is reared right in the river, as it can’t be bred in captivity.

Due to rain, however, the water was murky and fish hardly visible. Clambering to higher altitude on the still under-construction observation deck, I managed to spot movement in the water and glimpses of fish that swam close enough to the surface.


The Taman Negara canopy walk is an exhilarating experience.

Next, we decided to squeeze in a little hike up Lata Berkoh, one of the main attractions of Taman Negara. What seemed to me like a hike through nature’s very own obstacle course of twines, branches, trunks, logs and streams was apparently just a low-intensity walk through an easy walking path.

We stopped midpoint due to the high tide, and savoured the sight, which was breathtaking. Gushing, chilly water with deep pools framed by enormous jagged rocks seemingly in existence from the beginning of time, the waterfalls looked like a scene right out of the movies. Swimming is not advisable although a picnic would have been perfect.

Another popular water activity at the park is rapid shooting. Don’t worry, it’s not the kind of shooting you imagine; rapids are fast flowing, turbulent parts of the course of a river. Involving the boatman’s skilful manoeuvring of the boat, getting wet is the thrilling part. So, be sure to put your gadgets away and enjoy the ride.

Taman Negara at night

Visitors to the park can also go on a jungle night walk to catch a glimpse of nocturnal insects and creatures. From the wildlife observation hide, we managed to spot several barking deers grazing. There’s even an option to spend a night in one of these observation hides.

With nature’s orchestra playing in the background, we kept our eyes peeled. Aside from a praying mantis and several spiders, we managed to spot two centipedes mating quite discretely, behind a signage, appearing to look like a very long centipede.

It attracted quite an audience among the group, but thankfully for the centipedes, it began to drizzle. We made haste but the trees proved to be good shelter. So good were they that we only realised the extent of the downpour once we left the park; it was raining cats and dogs in the rainforest!

In an attempt to get shelter from the rain, we spotted a python resting quietly in a corner. Quite resigned to letting nature do its thing, we made camp. We witnessed the interesting sight of a barking deer zigzagging through resort territory as it poured.

After an hour with no sign of the rain ceasing, we made our way back through the rain, soaking wet but rather satisfied with the sights and sounds we took in.

The day after

The next day, the trek proved to be quite a challenge due to the the previous night’s downpour. Good shoes are a must here.

Having luxuriously applying sun block, I was told it was the wrong move as leeches are apparently attracted to the sweet smell. Common sense would dictate that you apply insect repellent instead.

Not being in leech-proof attire upped the paranoia level in me, as I constantly checked my legs for the bloodsuckers. (Early detection saves lives!) Spotting a dreaded black dot on my ankle, a flick told me it was not dirt. My first leech bite ever!

Before long, out of breath, we made it to the main attraction of Taman Negara: the canopy walk.

The canopy walkway is the longest in the world, up to 510 metres long. Be forewarned, the 43 metres high walkway is not for the faint hearted.

However, it’s one cool thing to slash off the bucket list so hold tight and just don’t look down. Unfortunately, it was under maintenance when we were there with half of it sealed off and I’m quite convinced I missed the best parts. I will most likely return to complete this.

The national park is protected land, whereby the only ones allowed to live off it are the Orang Asli who make it their home. Small built, dark-skinned and curly haired, the Batek tribe who are steeped in superstition live a nomadic lifestyle.

Visitors to Taman Negara can pay a visit to their settlement and see how they live. I personally think that it is an encroachment of their personal space but many people are intrigued with their way of life. You can watch them make poison darts for blowpipes and even test your skills with the blowpipes (sans poison).

Other activities at the park, which I intend to complete one day, would be mountain climbing and cave exploration. Taman Negara has so much to offer, you’ll never run out of things to do.

Taman Negara has plenty of amazing sights.

Cabin in the woods

Mutiara Taman Negara Resort is the only resort you will find on site. Accommodation ranging from tents to bungalows are scattered all along the fringes of the park. The cabin style accommodation offers you basic amenities with sufficient modern comforts where the forest is literally at your back door.

Amenities were rather run down and in need of replacement in the first quarter, but the resort is undergoing a facelift whereby renovation is taking place by stages. The newer phases have a touch of modernity while maintaining its rustic appeal.

All rooms come with views but make sure you are prepared to come face-to-face with nature. You are after all in someone else’s backyard.

Here, there are several dining options with a good mix of local and international cuisine. The restaurants are open all day and you can choose the one which suits your wallet best. The resort also offers barbeques upon request.

Entry permits and various licenses from the Department of Wildlife can be obtained at the wildlife counter. You will need entry permits and licences for cameras and fishing.

If you intend to stay the night at the National Park, Mutiara Taman Negara Resort offers a variety of packages for you to choose from. - By RACHAEL FRANCIS
