Dear friends,<br />
If you are reading <strong>Escapy</strong>, your heart is looking for adventure. The<br />
explorer in you wants to go places, see new things, live new experiences,<br />
and have fun. This issue is certainly for you especially if you<br />
are in Malaysia and wondering where to go.<br />
The <strong>Manjung</strong> District in Perak is one place that many a holiday<br />
maker overlook. Old historical towns like Sitiawan and Teluk Intan<br />
are usually given a miss as most travellers will go straight to Lumut,<br />
hop on a ferry to Pangkor Island; thus why Lumut is known as the<br />
gateway to Pangkor Island.<br />
In this issue we look at some of the attractions in <strong>Manjung</strong> and<br />
why one should spare a few days and explore the area.<br />
Thank you for reading <strong>Escapy</strong> and do share <strong>Escapy</strong> with your<br />
friends.<br />
Cheers,<br />

Lumut Waterfront<br />
Out And About<br />
Fact:<br />
Lumut is home to the Royal<br />
Malaysian Navy.
Lumut in Perak, Malaysia; is a coastal town and a<br />
gateway to holiday and sports fishing spots such as the<br />
Sembilan Islands (Nine Islands), Jarak Island, and Pangkor<br />
Island; a holiday destination. Being a gateway it<br />
has for long acted as a transit point but there are places<br />
that one can visit in Lumut itself.<br />
9
Ferry Terminal<br />
The Lumut Waterfront is a little town where the<br />
ferry terminal to Pangkor Island is located. It is<br />
here that visitors to Pangkor Island board ferries<br />
that take them to Pangkor Island. But there<br />
is more to do here.
11<br />
Shopping & Walking About<br />
The Lumut Waterfront is a good place to shop<br />
for seafood based titbits and produce such as<br />
dried squid, satay fish, dried shrimps, salted<br />
fish, etc. of which it is famous for. There are<br />
also shops that sell beach fun products, souvenirs,<br />
mobile devices, and general groceries.
Family Fun Along The Water’<br />
Along the water’s edge of Lumut Waterfront<br />
are various parks where one can go to with the<br />
family for a picnic, or to just sit back and relax;<br />
taking in the laid back atmosphere of the town.<br />
There are play grounds with swings, slides, etc.<br />
at these parks for children to play at.<br />
> Lumut jetty area.
s Edge<br />
13
Photography
15<br />
Those who enjoy photography will have a field<br />
day photographing structures, sculptures, wildlife,<br />
boats, etc. Along the water’s edge. There<br />
is also a large old Navy ship called KD Rahmat<br />
that has been docked there for years.<br />
> A pigeon shot at the Lumut Waterfront while<br />
having lunch.
This ship (KD Rahmat) is a maritime<br />
museum called the KD Rahmat Maritime<br />
Museum, that visitors can visit.<br />
It also gives the area character and<br />
makes for good photos. Lumut is not<br />
just any coastal town. It is also home<br />
to one of Malaysia’s Navy bases..<br />
17
Fishing<br />
Anglers that live around the area<br />
frequent this place with hopes of<br />
catching some fish and crabs. On<br />
one of my trips to Lumut I chanced<br />
upon a family fishing for crabs<br />
along the rocky banks. They were<br />
fishing crabs with fishing rod and<br />
lines (not crab pots).

Lumut Mangrove Park<br />
Spending Time With Nature<br />
Mangroves are essential habitats to a variety<br />
of animals such as crabs, mudskippers,<br />
certain birds, etc. When visiting Lumut Waterfront<br />
town (jetty to Pangkor Island) one can stop<br />
to check out the Lumut Mangrove Park that is<br />
not far from the town. It is visible from the main<br />
road.
23
Observing Nature<br />
A wooden walkway takes you into the mangrove.<br />
The walkway leads all the way to the muddy<br />
banks of the Lumut River where monitor lizards,<br />
mudskippers, crabs, etc. The walk to the river<br />
takes about 20 to 25 minutes. There is also a<br />
hanging bridge there. During my visit, parts of<br />
the walkway was closed for maintenance.
25
As you walk do observe the live going<br />
on around you. There are lots of crabs<br />
on the muddy mangrove grounds. They<br />
are easily spooked too. One will have to<br />
walk slowly to be able to observe them.<br />
The crabs here are mainly tree climbing<br />
crabs. They move about slowly until<br />
they sense someone nearby, then they<br />
scuttle off into a crab hole nearby. These<br />
crab are colourful too with colourful dots<br />
on their shell and colourful claws that<br />
are mainly in red.
27
29<br />
Birds<br />
There are lots of birds at the<br />
area. I saw magpies and<br />
lots of pigeons. I also heard<br />
what sounded like a knocking<br />
sound. Perhaps the sound of<br />
a woodpecker pecking on a<br />
tree. I am certain that there<br />
are more birds to watch but<br />
not on my visit.
Monkeys<br />
There are also monkeys (long tail<br />
macaques) that hang about it the<br />
mangrove. While they may be cute,<br />
they are wild animals and the ones<br />
here are not afraid of humans. They<br />
even try to snatch things off anyone<br />
who is not careful.<br />
This behaviour is usually developed<br />
overtime as they become accustomed<br />
to receiving food and handouts<br />
from people. In time they start<br />
expecting food and handouts from<br />
people who are around. Sometime<br />
they can become aggressive should<br />
they not receive handouts. The best<br />
thing to do is to not make eye contact<br />
with the aggressive ones and<br />
slowly back off.<br />
One thing I would like to emphasize<br />
here is to “stop feeding monkeys.” It<br />
causes them more harm than good.
31
Things To Bring
https://goo.gl/maps/UZN2miiamQE2<br />
A camera is a must especially one with good<br />
zooming capabilities should one enjoy taking<br />
photos of wildlife. Other things to bring are<br />
drinking water and insect repellent as there<br />
are mosquitoes there, hungry for blood. Do no<br />
bring food as the monkeys will most certainly<br />
want some and may attack.<br />

Temple Of The Giants<br />
Have you seen giants by the beach<br />
looking out to sea? What about giant<br />
deities by the beach looking out to sea?<br />
The Tua Pek Kong Temple in Sitiawan,<br />
Perak, Malaysia is where giant statues<br />
of deities sit by the beach and look out<br />
to sea.
35
Well Maintained<br />
This temple is said to be over a hundred years<br />
old yet it does not look its age; perhaps they<br />
found the fountain of youth. The temple is well<br />
maintained thanks to the donations of those<br />
who come to worship and or visit.
37
Giants By<br />
The Sea<br />
Upon arriving at the temple one will see tall walls<br />
surrounding the temple. It looks like a fort protecting<br />
all that is within it. As one arrives head<br />
towards the parking area one will see huge statues<br />
of deities such as Guanyin, a giant tiger,<br />
and right in the middle sitting on a throne is the<br />
statue of Tua Pek Kong.<br />
Smaller statues of monkeys and worshippers<br />
stand at the outside of the wall as if paying homage<br />
to these deities. The inside sits a dragon<br />
tunnel, pagodas, and more statues of deities.
39
41<br />
Wildlife<br />
Nearby<br />
This temple sits on a<br />
muddy beach. Crabs<br />
roam about the muddy<br />
beach going about<br />
their day to day activities,<br />
scattering only<br />
when some human<br />
(the likes of me) come<br />
by to observe them,<br />
scaring them back into<br />
their holes.
Good For Photos<br />
Imagine photographing giants that have landed<br />
on earth. Of course these are made of less organic<br />
materials and they do not move. These<br />
giant statues make for good photos. After photographing<br />
these giants, one can also head to<br />
the muddy beach and photograph the crabs,<br />
mud skippers, and sea birds.
^ A huge tiger statue.<br />

Do Visit These Giants<br />
Whether one goes there to worship or to visit<br />
or both, the Tua Pek Kong temple certainly is<br />
an attraction that one must go to when one is<br />
in Sitiawan or Lumut. The temple is about 16<br />
kilometres away from Lumut Waterfront.<br />

Leaning Tower<br />
Of Teluk Intan
Many would have heard<br />
of the Leaning Tower Of<br />
Pisa. Many would have<br />
gone there too. But not<br />
many know that there is<br />
a leaning tower in Malaysia.<br />
This leaning tower sits<br />
at the main square of the<br />
Teluk Intan town, a coastal<br />
town in Perak, Malaysia.<br />
It is the Leaning Tower Of<br />
Teluk Intan.<br />
47
Some History<br />
The tower was built back as a water tank and<br />
storehouse back in 1885 under the guidance<br />
of contractor and philanthropist, Leong Choon<br />
Chong. This pagoda tower became a landmark<br />
and a meeting place for the people here.
49<br />
History On The<br />
Walls...
During World War II (1941 to 1945) the British<br />
wanted to demolish the tower as they were afraid<br />
that the Japanese would use it as a bombing<br />
landmark but due to the protests of the locals<br />
that didn’t happen. Later on the Japanese took<br />
over the tower and it became a watch tower. It<br />
was damaged during the war and was rebuilt.
51
The Tower<br />
The Leaning Tower Of Teluk Intan is in a way,<br />
magical. From the outside the tower looks like<br />
a wooden pagoda (made of chengal wood; a<br />
type of tropical hardwood) with 8 floors. Once<br />
inside one will realize that it only has 3 floors<br />
and the walls are made of bricks, with the water<br />
tank sitting right above. It is 25.5 metres tall, 13<br />
metres in diameter tapering to 8.1m.
53
The Lean<br />
The Leaning Tower Of Teluk Intan tilts southwest<br />
towards the town centre. This is due to the<br />
soft soil that it was built on having to bear the<br />
weight of the tower and the water tank (stores<br />
about 20,000 litre of water). Being heavier on<br />
the top, the tower slowly tilted. A major flood<br />
happened somewhere in the 1880s (between<br />
1889 to 1895) and that softened the ground<br />
even more.<br />
Studies and work carried out in the mid 1990s<br />
by a local university (University Sains Malaysia)<br />
confirmed that the tower is in no danger<br />
of falling and is safe for visitors to walk in and<br />
have a look at the inside.<br />
> View of the tower from the entranc

e.
Winding stairway to the top.<br />
57
59<br />
The Clock<br />
The clock of this leaning tower was<br />
purchased from a British clock maker<br />
in London; J.W. Benson Ltd. nine<br />
years after it was built. The locals<br />
came together and donated money<br />
to purchase this clock that still works<br />
chiming every 15 minutes.
^ Some history of the tower near the entrance.
The Tower Today<br />
The Leaning Tower Of Teluk Intan has since<br />
been recognized as a National Heritage and it<br />
attracts plenty of visitors. On its walls are old<br />
photos that share some of the history and major<br />
events that happened around Teluk Intan.<br />
The tower no longer functions as a water storage<br />
tower although the tank still sits at the top<br />
(empty).<br />

Teluk Senangin B<br />
^ The lovely Teluk Senangin Beach.
each<br />
65
Looking for a lovely beach to get away to when in Lumut?<br />
There is a rather secluded beach called Teluk Senangin<br />
Beach that is popular with the locals but not well known<br />
enough to pull throngs of visitors from out of state or town.<br />
It is about 27.2 kilometres from the Lumut Waterfront (jetty<br />
to Pangkor) and about 10.6 kilometres from Swiss-Garden<br />
Beach Resort Damai Laut. The Teluk Senangin Beach is<br />
certainly a beach to visit when one is in the area.
67<br />
Great Place For A Picnic<br />
The Teluk Senangin Beach is a beach with soft<br />
sand and waters that are good for swimming<br />
in or playing in. The waters are generally safe<br />
with small waves (different conditions during<br />
the monsoon seasons) and they certainly look<br />
inviting although clarity is rather average. This<br />
beach is certainly a good beach to picnic at under<br />
the trees.
Staying Over<br />
One can opt to stay at the beach as there are<br />
homestays and resorts by the beach offering<br />
accommodation to those who want to spend<br />
more time here. There are also food stalls and<br />
shops selling beach items like balls, kites, etc.<br />
, as well as basic amenities such as toilets and<br />
shower.
69
Do Take Note
https://goo.gl/maps/teMz1kBzEB32<br />
Should you decide to visit during the month of<br />
Ramadan do note that most of the shops will be<br />
closed during the day.<br />

Segari Turtle<br />
Sanctuary
73<br />
One of the places to visit<br />
is the Segari Turtle Sanctuary<br />
in Lumut. It is located at a remote<br />
beach in Pasir Panjang.<br />
Here the sanctuary under the<br />
Fisheries Department, focuses<br />
on conservation with the<br />
aim of preventing them from<br />
going extinct and improving<br />
their population.<br />
Here visitors can learn about<br />
turtles, the various species,<br />
their habitat, issues that they<br />
are facing and that are driving<br />
them towards extinction, and<br />
what the turtle sanctuary is<br />
doing to help conserve them.
The Segari Turtle Sanctuary monitors the<br />
beaches especially during the season when<br />
turtles come up to lay eggs. The eggs are collected<br />
and moved to a hatchery where they can<br />
hatch safely away from ants, monitor lizards,<br />
and people that collect eggs to be eaten and<br />
sold at the market as food.
75
After hatching the hatchlings are placed into<br />
pools to improve their survival rates as many<br />
turtles perish out at sea being eaten by predators,<br />
or having eat wrong things like plastics,<br />
and also due to the harsh environment. As<br />
these turtles grow they are transferred into different<br />
pools until they are ready to be released<br />
back into the sea.
77
^ Educational boards teaches visitors about turtles.
https://goo.gl/maps/N9oqFwbHbam<br />
A Must Visit<br />
The Segari Turtle Sanctuary is a place one must<br />
visit when one is in Lumut. One thing though is that<br />
mobile services seem to be a problem around the<br />
area and Google Maps may not work. So, it is best<br />
to study the map carefully before heading there.<br />
Also, do bring along drinking water should you decide<br />
to spend a longer period of time there.<br />
Operation Hours<br />
Mondays to Sundays:<br />
10am to 12.30pm and 2pm to 5pm.<br />

Shot of the waterfall at night.
Holidays and vacations are<br />
taken to help get one’s mind<br />
off the daily grind. But holidays<br />
are not just about sitting back,<br />
letting one’s hair down, and<br />
do nothing, although doing<br />
so can make for an excellent<br />
holiday too. Fun recreational<br />
activities help create better<br />
memories too, adding plenty<br />
of fun and excitement to one’s<br />
holiday. Swiss-Garden Beach<br />
Resort Damai Laut offers lots<br />
of fun things to do.<br />
83
85<br />
Swiss-Garden Beach Resort<br />
Damai Laut is a family friendly<br />
holiday destination with plenty<br />
of activities for all in the family.<br />
While parents sit back and<br />
read books or do more adventurous<br />
activities like riding an<br />
ATV, or jungle trekking; children<br />
can hangout at the Kids<br />
Club, paint batik, etc.<br />
Here are some fun activities<br />
that can be had.
Waterfalls at the pool.<br />
Fun @The Po
87<br />
ol<br />
Swimming pools are lots of<br />
fun and the pool at Swiss-<br />
Garden Beach Resort Damai<br />
Laut is designed for fun. It is<br />
designed in a way that allows<br />
for children and adults to have<br />
fun. It is of non-geometrical<br />
or irregular shape and has a<br />
waterfall at one section, with<br />
a small bridge that one can<br />
swim under.
This allows for a more adventurous swim that<br />
perhaps appeal to children, as they go swimming<br />
under the bridge amongst the two pools,<br />
and go “dolphining” under the splashes of the<br />
waterfall.<br />
89
^ Having fun in the pool amongst the faux rocks.
91
Fun @The<br />
Kid's Clu<br />
No family resort is complete without a Kid’s<br />
Club. It is here where children can have lots of<br />
fun in a safe environment. The Kid’s Club here<br />
at the Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Damai Laut<br />
offers activities for younger children and teens.
93
Those who love arcade machines will have a<br />
field day feeding coins to these machines here.<br />
All time favourite games like street fighter and<br />
various shooting games are available. Should<br />
one prefer a quieter game on a large table;<br />
snooker is an option.
95
^ Snooker, a fun and challenging game.
97
Batik painting is a fun way to<br />
help children (and adults) exercise<br />
their creative side even<br />
when on holidays and is available<br />
here at the Kids Club with<br />
a few designs to choose from.<br />
But should one decide to just<br />
do colouring or painting rocks<br />
instead of batik, that can be<br />
done too.<br />
Available here at the Kid’s<br />
Club other than batik and rock<br />
painting are keychain painting,<br />
t-shirt painting, mug painting,<br />
and sand art.
99
Should children prefer to relax and not do much<br />
they can sit back and watch cartoons here in<br />
the comfort of an air-conditioned room.
101
Fun Fishing
Being a beach resort fishing is<br />
certainly something one can<br />
do. One can fish off the beach<br />
(away from the main public<br />
area) or opt to fish at the private<br />
jetty. Personally I prefer<br />
to fish at the private jetty as it<br />
is quieter and the river mouth<br />
it sits in is where fishes swim in<br />
and out of the river. For baits,<br />
squid can be purchased at the<br />
resort to be used as baits.<br />
103
Another reason why I prefer<br />
fishing here at the jetty is because<br />
it is quiet and away from<br />
the crowd... in another words,<br />
peace and tranquility.<br />
105
Great Place For...<br />
Picking Clams
The beach here is famous for<br />
clams. With a bucket in hand,<br />
one can go about picking<br />
clams. These clams can be<br />
boiled and eaten. Should you<br />
decide to do so, do wash them<br />
well as they live in the sandy<br />
bottom of the beach and thus<br />
contain bits of sand. Clams<br />
can also be used as bait for<br />
fishing.<br />
107
Fun Horse Riding<br />
Should one want to experience riding a horse on<br />
a beach, horse riding is available at the beach.<br />
Put on a helmet for safety and be on your way<br />
(with a guide holding on of course). Should you<br />
decide to do horse riding or any other activity<br />
that requires one to wear a helmet that is shared<br />
by many; bring along a shower cap for hygiene<br />
purpose. Put on the shower cap before putting<br />
on the helmet.
109
Fun Archery
Perhaps one has harboured dreams of becoming<br />
Robin Hood. Fulfil those dreams here and<br />
try your hand at archery; taking aim and shooting<br />
at hay target boards. There are bows and<br />
arrows to cater for younger teens and adults.<br />
111
Archery can be a dangerous activity and as<br />
such; do follow the instructions of the instructors<br />
and adhere to the rules to ensure any untoward<br />
accidents are avoided.<br />
113
Fun Rides
115<br />
ATV Thrills<br />
For those that want more excitement, a ride on<br />
an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) will feed that want.<br />
The ride goes through a designated track. Handling<br />
the ATV is in itself is a fun and exciting<br />
experience, drifting about the sand (or rather<br />
losing control) and trying to go in a straight line.
ATV rides are plenty of fun and something<br />
that I highly recommend. Note too that<br />
it can be dangerous and ATVs are real<br />
vehicles and must be handled with care.<br />
Obey all instructions given and stick to<br />
the route for safety reasons.ine.
117
Jet Ski Rides
After zipping about on land<br />
in an ATV, why not zip about<br />
on water. Jet Skis are lots of<br />
fun. They are like ATVs but on<br />
water. They are fast on water<br />
too allowing one to enjoy<br />
the wind in one’s face as well<br />
as splashes of water. As with<br />
all crafts that goes fast; it is<br />
important to adhere to safety<br />
rules.<br />
119
Banana Boat<br />
Ride
Another thrilling fast ride is<br />
one on a banana boat being<br />
towed by a motorboat. Hold<br />
on tight as the banana boat<br />
zips on the water going over<br />
waves creating a bouncy thrilling<br />
fun ride as one gets wet<br />
from splashes of seawater. It<br />
is a ride one must experience<br />
to feel the thrill and exhilaration<br />
of a boat that is named<br />
after a fruit.<br />
121
Kayaking
If speed is not your thing perhaps canoeing will<br />
be. Canoeing about Remis Beach (the beach<br />
that the resort is built on) is fun. One gets to<br />
takes one’s time and slowly row about the area.<br />
Another fun thing that I like to do when canoeing<br />
and kayaking is to chase and ride the waves<br />
back to shore.<br />
123
Island Hopping
Island hopping is one of the must do activities<br />
when one visits a beach resort such as<br />
the Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Damai Laut.<br />
Exploring some of the islands around the area<br />
having fun and shooting photos is a good way<br />
to capture the moments.<br />
125
Snorkelling<br />
Snorkelling too is lots of fun exploring the underwater<br />
world around the waters off Lumut. That said, Lumut<br />
in itself is not famous for snorkelling but certain<br />
places nearer to Pangkor Island allows for snorkelling<br />
with good visibility.
127<br />
Visit Pangkor<br />
Or if being in water is something you do not want to<br />
do or have already done, why not take a boat ride to<br />
Pangkor Island and just spend a few hours visiting<br />
the area. Pangkor Island is famous for its sea produce<br />
such as dried fish, squid, etc. It also has attractions<br />
like the Dutch Fort, Tiger Rock or Historic Rock<br />
(Batu Bersurat), boat building ship yard, etc.
Relax & Rejuvenate<br />
After doing all these fun filled adventurous activities,<br />
perhaps it is time to relax and rejuvenate. One can<br />
do so at the Samsara Spa. The Samsara Spa offers<br />
pampering massages, various treatments such<br />
as body wraps, facial and nail care, etc.; wonderful<br />
ways to bring peace and calm to one’s soul.
129<br />
Golfing<br />
Holidaying at a beach resort is not all about getting<br />
wet in seawater and getting sand on your feet. The<br />
Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Damai Laut has a golf<br />
course too called the Damai Laut Golf And Country<br />
Club.
This championship golf course is designed by<br />
Ronald W. Fream offering golfers from beginners<br />
to pros 18 challenging holes with a wide<br />
range of playing lengths, from more than 6600m<br />
scaling down through four sets of teeing positions<br />
to about 4800m.<br />

Superb Dining<br />
Experience<br />
It is nice to dine in beautifully decorated<br />
and luxurious restaurants<br />
once in a while when one is on a<br />
holiday. And when we dine is such<br />
places, the ambience of the place<br />
add points to the experience.<br />
What if you want something really<br />
special and away from the crowd?<br />
We had a wonderful dining experience<br />
at the Swiss-Garden Beach<br />
Resort Damai Laut in Lumut, Perak<br />
recently.
139<br />
Away From The<br />
Crowd<br />
Being an angler I tend to look out<br />
for places to go fishing at especially<br />
when I am on holiday. On my<br />
recent visit to the Swiss-Garden<br />
Beach Resort Damai Laut with<br />
my family, special arrangements<br />
were made and I had the opportunity<br />
to dine and fish at the resort’s<br />
private jetty; and yes, we dined in<br />
private too.
Safe & Secure
The private jetty of the resort is used to send<br />
guests of the resort to Pangkor Island. It is a<br />
wooden floating platform linked to land by a<br />
concrete bridge. It has railings along its sides<br />
except for the areas where the boats are secured<br />
to. This helps keep people from falling<br />
over and into the river.<br />
141
143<br />
Nice Place For Fun<br />
Fishing<br />
Being a jetty it is a safe and fun<br />
place to do some fun fishing. We<br />
caught a good number of fishes<br />
such as scads and threadfin<br />
breams on apollo rigs. I used one<br />
of them as live-bait but missed the<br />
incoming tide (best tide to fish).<br />
The best time to fish is when the<br />
tide comes in. This brings more<br />
fish such as barramundis into the<br />
river. They swim past the jetty as<br />
they make their way back in.
145<br />
Dining Like VIPs<br />
Want to feel like a VIP? We<br />
certainly did feel like VIPs as<br />
we dined at the jetty while<br />
our fishing rods waited for a<br />
fish to bite. We were the only<br />
ones there apart from the F&B<br />
staffs, the chef, and security.<br />
The jetty was decorated with<br />
lanterns that created a warm<br />
romantic atmosphere.
The chef cooked on site preparing<br />
awesome Italian cuisine<br />
that we ordered earlier.<br />
We were given cold towels<br />
to cool off as dinner started<br />
to be served beginning with<br />
a tasty mushroom room soup<br />
in a bun, followed by the main<br />
course, and ending with dessert.<br />
147
Superb Dining Experie
nce<br />
Everything served was delicious<br />
and the atmosphere of<br />
the jetty, the special feeling<br />
one gets when being pampered<br />
in a place away from<br />
the crowd makes the experience<br />
so very good, I cannot<br />
find words good enough to<br />
explain. It is the best dining<br />
experience ever. Should you<br />
visit the Swiss-Garden Beach<br />
Resort, Damai Laut; I highly<br />
recommend this dining experience<br />
called “Fish & Feast”<br />
especially when you want to<br />
impress that special someone.<br />

Restaurant Kopi Aik Hooi<br />
Tucked away from the busy Lumut Waterfront<br />
town is a little known coffee shop called<br />
Restaurant Kopi Aik Hooi, a place frequent by<br />
the locals. We chanced upon it on our way out<br />
of the Lumut Waterfront Town and decided to<br />
stop for a meal although we just had one at the<br />
Waterfront.
151
153<br />
Basic But Tasty<br />
The food here is basic but tasty. I enjoyed a<br />
lovely bowl of curry laksa (a curry noodle dish)<br />
that has beans, barbecued pork strips, and tofu<br />
cooked in rich soupy curry. We also had a bowl<br />
of noodles with shredded chicken in soup that<br />
this place is famous for. While these are delicious,<br />
the winner (to me personally) is...
Otak-Otak
155<br />
Otak-otak is a local delicacy made<br />
of chili, curry, fish, etc. wrapped<br />
in a leaf. Otak-otak is rather common<br />
these days; mostly wrapped<br />
in a palm leaf, and barbecued. I<br />
prefer the original steamed Nyonya<br />
type but these days they are<br />
hard to come by. Restaurant Kopi<br />
Aik Hooi is one place where one<br />
can find the original Teochew style<br />
otak-otak that is also steamed,<br />
and the taste is heavenly.<br />
What I like about the otak-otak<br />
here is that it is cooked with big<br />
chunks of fish, a tasty concoction<br />
of curry, chili, and herbs, but<br />
a special leaf gives it a very fragrant<br />
flavour. The otak-otak here<br />
is rather spicy. For those unable<br />
to handle spicy food prepare a<br />
glass of water before digging in.
https://goo.gl/maps/6EURffY3dsP2<br />
Restaurant Kopi Aik Hooi has<br />
more to offer other than those stated.<br />
They also have packed nasi<br />
lemak (fragrant rice with chili),<br />
economy fried beehoon (vermicelli),<br />
noodles, dumpling noodles<br />
(wantan noodles), porridge,<br />
prawn noodles, etc. Do drop by<br />

The 3rd Selangor<br />
International Indigenous<br />
Arts Festival <strong>2017</strong>;<br />
Cultivating The City<br />
Tourism Selangor collaborates with Asian<br />
Indigenous People Pacts (AIPP) for the 3rd<br />
Selangor International Indigenous Arts<br />
Festival <strong>2017</strong>
Tourism Selangor has teamed up for the very<br />
first time with Asian Indigenous People Pacts<br />
(AIPP) to organise the 3rd annual event of Selangor<br />
International Indigenous Arts Festival<br />
<strong>2017</strong> (SIIAF) on 5-6 August <strong>2017</strong>, held at National<br />
Botanical Garden, Shah Alam.<br />
159
With this year’s theme ‘Cultivating The City’, the<br />
festival also welcomes indigenous tribes from<br />
countries such as the Philippines, Bangladesh,<br />
Vietnam and Indonesia while accompanied by local<br />
tribes from Selangor, Kelantan, Johor and Perak.<br />
The festival takes place at the same official venue<br />
National Botanical Garden, Shah Alam, where it<br />
first debuted in 2015. The weekend festival features<br />
an array of tribal and cultural performances<br />
with a mission to accomplish its objectives. It<br />
hopes to introduce and educate the public on the<br />
culture and heritage of the indigenous people and<br />
to create Selangor as a tourist hub for indigenous<br />
tribes.<br />
“Since the first SIIAF 2015, we want to keep educating<br />
the public on the indigenous people that<br />
we share the state of Selangor with, along with<br />
other tribes of Malaysia,” said YB Puan Elizabeth<br />
Wong, Chairperson of Standing Committee, Tourism,<br />
Consumer Affairs & Environment of Selangor.
She added that while the indigenous tribe may be a small<br />
community, their historical ties to the land are deep-rooted<br />
and they present the way of life that was once dominant<br />
in the world. “Indigenous tribes are the gems of Selangor<br />
and their importance to the state cannot be overlooked.<br />
We want to keep this heritage alive and hope to create<br />
Selangor as a tourist hub for the indigenous culture.”<br />
161
The event is also jointly organised by several other<br />
partners of Tourism Selangor including, FAMA Selangor,<br />
Jaringan Orang Asal Se-Malaysia (JOAS),<br />
Selangor Orang Asli Land Task Force (BBTOAS),<br />
Selangor Standco of Culture and Malindo Air.<br />
Suitable for families, visitors will be exposed to the<br />
lives of the indigenous tribes as well as a variety<br />
of fun and games. Cultural performances, arts &<br />
crafts and delectable traditional foods make part<br />
of the programme. Other interesting programmes<br />
and activities include local fruits fiesta, face painting,<br />
communal cooking, traditional dance seminar,<br />
photography competition and also an exhibition<br />
on traditional tribal homes of the Mah Meri,<br />
Semai and Temuan people. The programme was<br />
thoughtfully planned to engage the public and encourage<br />
their participation while learning about<br />
the culture and heritage of the indigenous people.
“Selangor is very rich in its culture and heritage. One of<br />
the indigenous tribe, Mah Meri is one of our main attractions<br />
in Carey Island and has been featured by The Lonely<br />
Planet as Top Choice village in Selangor to visit. This is<br />
indeed a stepping stone for Selangor to highlight our tribal<br />
cultural village to the rest of the world,” said Puan Noorul<br />
Ashikin Mohd. Din, General Manager, Tourism Selangor.<br />
163
With the aim of drawing 7000 visitors to the two<br />
day event this year, apart from the appearances<br />
and cultural performances is the unveiling of the<br />
newest traditional home of the Semai tribe build<br />
at the event venue. There will also be food trucks<br />
serving food and drinks for visitors and a photo<br />
contest to win prizes.

TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF<br />
BUKIT BROGA<br />
The Selangor State Government through the Selangor<br />
Economic Action Council (MTES) which met on 17<br />
August <strong>2017</strong> decided to temporarily shut down all recreational<br />
and tourism activities at Bukit Broga starting<br />
today.<br />
This is due to mitigation or rehabilitation works that will<br />
be implemented at Broga Hill immediately by the Public<br />
Works Department as a result of deforestation and land<br />
clearing activities on 143 acres of Bukit Broga government<br />
land.<br />
”This step (closing) is necessary to ensure the safety<br />
of climbing and recreating activities by visitors at Bukit<br />
Broga, avoiding any untoward incidents that may occur<br />
as a result of the clearing of the land,” said Mrs.<br />
Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping, Chairman of the Tourism,<br />
Environment, Technology and Environment Committee<br />
Green and Consumer Affairs Department of Selangor<br />
when met at the Bukit Broga Temporary Closure press<br />
conference today.
YB Elizabeth Wong at the Temporary Closure of Broga Hill press<br />
conference.<br />
The temporary closure period is depended on the time<br />
needed for the completion of work to be fully carried out<br />
by the Public Works Department. It involves the construction<br />
of drainage for rainwater so as not to directly<br />
affect the integrity of the soil and slope.
Apart from that, the Selangor State Government has<br />
also considered the proposed upgrading of an existing<br />
road to Bukit Broga and landscape beautification works<br />
to be implemented by the District and Land Office of<br />
Hulu Langat and the Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj).<br />
The Selangor Economic Action Council (MTES) meeting<br />
also agreed that Bukit Broga was gazetted as a<br />
Recreational Area under Section 62 of the National<br />
Land Code with the State Secretary as Controlling Officer<br />
and maintained by the Kajang Municipal Council<br />
(MPKj).<br />
At the same time, the 31-acre Sakai Land Fruit Trees<br />
and Sakai Dusun land lots, as noted on the 18083 Certified<br />
Plan, are retained for Orang Asli communities.<br />
The closing decision was taken after considering all<br />
available options in line with the Selangor People’s<br />
Care Initiative, and is the best solution for all parties.<br />

Coleman Instant Shelter<br />
This shelter fits perfectly into a parking space and it takes<br />
just about three minutes and three steps to set up 128 sq.<br />
ft. of shade. The telescoping poles are easy to extend into<br />
place thanks to the pinch-free Comfort Grip technology<br />
and large feet that are big enough to stand on while you set<br />
up the shelter. Once it’s up, the UVGuard material offers<br />
50+ UPF protection from the sun’s dangerous rays. When<br />
the fun’s done, the frame folds down for compact storage.<br />
