I'm glad and happy to see my sister in-law her loving husband and the four children  enjoy the trip to OrangUtan Rehabilition Centre to-day (Tuesday 29/10/2009) at Semenggoh Kuching.They come from Kuala Lumpur on a short visit to Kuching for Hari Raya.I'm honoured to be the tour guide & I take this opportunity to share this trip with My World Tuesday friends out there.

  

 

The OrangUtan enjoy the fruits during feeding time that is at 09:00am & 03:00pm daily.

 

 

Located 20 km away from Kuching, the Semenggoh Orang-Utan Rehabilitation Center is a sanctuary for the endangered Orang-Utans, Southeast Asia’s only great ape species that are gentle and shy in disposition.

Most of the time, these primates forage among the trees in private but do come out during the feeding times in the park. Visitors can then observe the behaviours and emotions of these ‘Men in the Forest’, which is what their name means in English. Feeding times are held every 0900 hrs and 1500 hours.

 

 

The Chief Ranger is always around to brief the tourist & visitors.

 

   

The tourist enjoy the visit .Just E-Mail me (uncleawang@gmail.com) I would be happy to bring you there but in small group as I drive only small compact car .

The sanctuary is just a 30-minute drive away from, Kuching City. In the sanctuary young orang utans that are either orphaned of rescued from captivity are trained to survive in the wild wilderness.

The Semmengoh Orang Utan sanctuary gives you the perfect opportunity to see these magnificent creatures up close especially during their feeding time.

 

Semmengoh is a forest area where orangutans are released to the wild having been rescued from captivity. Food is put out twice a day to help the orangutans survive - they have neither the skills nor a large enough area to do without help. Sometimes in the fruiting season they do not turn up at feeding times but usually a loud call from the reserve staff will bring them to a feeding platform in front of a gathering of gawping tourists.

Hari Raya-Open House.

 

Remembering the good old days of Hari Raya the 60's & 70's.I used to follow my friends visiting from house to houses cycling  but not in search of duit raya or better know as Raya angpow.We even go to strangers house and the good thing is that we are welcome .

The open house:

People to-day more likely do open house rather than inviting them to their house like the old days Hari Raya does.I think they felt more convenient with the idea,I mean it's easier right,some house even call pizza hut & KFC for home delivery .Well,as time goes by as people are becoming more advance they much prefer the easier way rather then just following the old days style.

Hari Raya-Lit Up with Lights.

 

A Malay kampung which I visited few night ago..Kampung Bintawa Melayu.

I see many Malay/Muslim houses lit up with lights (colourful light) outside at night.There even old style oil lamps perched all around the house compound.This is Malay tradition but not Islamic requirement.

Modern day oil lamps.

TUDONG-A scarf Muslim women wears.
