SUNGAI MATI MENEBAR JALA

The 'sebarau' is a medium size freshwater fish much sought after by net casting (menjala).

Orang asli much depend on freshwater fishes but the catch now is low due to polluted waters.

This river near my kampong house used to be (say 40 years ago) deep and wide where ikan kaloi was abundant and crocodiles marauding. It is now knee-deep due to siltation and the water is always murky. Only small fishes are found. What a pity state we keep our ecology.

SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE - NATURE IN ARCHITECTURE

Sydney Opera House

INTRODUCED FROM SOUTH AFRICA

While attending a conference in Johannesburg, S.A. in 1996 I managed to collect seeds of several plants out of which two ornamental plants were successfully grown.

1. This plant can grow more than 10feet, has small, erect branches with yellow, sparsely, trumpet like flowers. Suitable as hedge plant. 

2. Bauhania. Bushy and smaller than the bauhanias (pink and white flower types) commonly grown here. (For some years I lost the plant because the only sample that I asked my brother to maintain was chopped down. Recently, I brought back cuttings widely grown in Stradbroke Island and Gold Coast, Australia. Hope the cuttings will grow).
