Greetings and Selamat Datang to Terengganu,Visit Terengganu Year 2008 (VTY08) marked a momentous change in Terengganu tourism that further pushes the State’s

prominence onto the global map, particularly its potential as an extraordinary ecotourism destination that captures the

hearts of local and international tourists alike.

Unbeknown to many, Terengganu is a repository of enchanting natural attractions - million years old tropical rainforests,

species of exotic and diverse flora and fauna. Imagine having identified 435 species of habitat and migratory birds alone

proof the suitable and sustainable ecology of Terengganu.

We take this opportunity to enhance awareness about our wildlife assets to inculcate the spirits of environmental

conservation for generations to come. Also in this issue are recommendations for dream holidays with family and friends

such as the fireflies’ calming symphony of lights in their natural habitat. It is a guide to an inspiring journey of sights and

One should be wary that this is a 1.7-acre park that requires

steady pair of legs and comfortable shoes. However, any

disheartenment would disappear when one enters the caged

park. Visitors will be awestruck by the showcase of mynahs and

parakeets presented in their natural settings, a soothing and

colourful sight to behold.

As we made our way along, we were greeted by more than 600

birds of various species too. Among those we observed and

were a hit with curious young children were the bred Chinese

Ringneck, Red Golden, Ghigi Yellow, Lady Amherst, Lady

Cross, True Silver, White Lewis, Black Lewis, Reeves Pheasants,

Siamese Fireback, Black Ringneck, White peafowl,

Pied Peafowl, and Indian Blue Peafowl, Swinhoe’s Pheasant,

Temminck’s Tragopan, Himalayan Monal (Impeyan),

Nepal Kalij, Blue Eared Pheasant, Edward’s Pheasant, Elliot’s

Pheasant, Hume’s Bar-Tailed Pheasant and White Crested Kalij.

Every year-end marks the routine of packing our bags and stuffing

the whole family into the MPV, but this particular trip has added

a little spice compared to our usual whirlwind eating, shopping

and arguing about who gets to sit by the window. We headed to

Terengganu to visit Aunt Mok in Kemaman where my favourite

Cousin D’s relentless teasing of us being hopeless city slickers

eventually sparked the brilliant idea of going back to nature to

unwind from our urban woes and appreciate magnificent

creatures of flight - birds.

We were closeted National Geographic nerds and got very

excited about the whole idea, what more knowing that not

far from Kemaman, heading towards Kuala Berang and Kenyir

Lake is the Ajil Pheasant Park that was certified as the biggest

birdpark in the country by the Malaysian Book of Records.

Fancy that - who knew the sleepy town was a gateway to

wildlife wonders? Entrance fee into the park is at an affordable

RM10 for foreign tourists, local adults at RM6 while children

are RM4. School children are given a special rate of only RM2.

Specializing in beautiful arrays of colourful pheasants

and peacock, the park keeps 38 out of the 49 species of

pheasants in the world. I would say the most exotic find at

the park would be the gorgeous Green Peafowl. It is shame

that the timeless creature is currently being threatened by

extinction due to poaching and destruction of its habitat and

was last spotted in Terengganu in the 60s. It has been listed

as vulnerable on the International Union for the Conservation

of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Red List of Threatened

Species.

The male Green Peafowl can grow from 1.8m to 2.5m in length

and weighs between 3kg and 5kg while the female grows

from 1m to 1.1m long and weighs between 1kg and 1.5kg.

Green Peafowls were previously dwells on river

banks and forest fringes. Despite its large wingspan

the bird can only manage flying short distances.

Its diet consists of termites, berries, grass seeds, peppers,

flower petals, grasshoppers, small moths, small reptiles, fruits

and small animals.

Many of the birds housed in the park were brought in from

Europe including Belgium, Netherlands and Germany and are

nurtured and cared by teacher and park owner, Oh Siong Lai

whose passion to protect birds from extinction and other

hazards has developed the park from a mere three pheasants

to a growing collection of birds housed in pens which Oh

himself built.

Ajil Pheasant Park is not always about birds as it is a sanctuary

for other mammals as well. We were delighted by the

appearance of shy adult deers and a few species of monkeys

swinging about which we were told would soon be

accompanied by other animals of the forest like the fox

and porcupine. Meanwhile, the vast topography provides

opportunities to grow medicinal herbs in unused areas of the

park to be studied by scholars and researchers.

Spending a day in Ajil was incredibly bonding for all of us.

Not only that the family had the chance to come up close to

God’s beautiful handiwork together, it created unforgettable

memories... and beautiful shots on my Nikon D80, of course.

I personally feel that the park lacks the attention that it should

get, and the move to preserve Malaysia’s wild birds is often

unrecognized. The 12 wonders of Terengganu list for `Visit

Terengganu Year 2008’ which included Ajil Pheasant Park have

not come at a better time. This is the opportune moment for

the state to educate the public and instill awareness about one

of the majestic species of the animal kingdom.

Treasure Tales 08TEXTBY GWEN M. PIAH

When we started dating I must confess that I was pretty smitten at

my husband’s over-the-top gesture to impress after he captured

a jar of fireflies for me during our romantic date down the river at

Kampung Kuantan, a rugged firefly sanctuary about 70 kilometres

away from where we both lived in Selangor.

Now that we are married and so busy which our own respective

schedules, an unconventional out-of-town adventure like that has

become few and far between.

Some time ago though; while tagging along on one of my

husband’s filming for a local channel’s documentary up in

Terengganu, opportunity struck and we were blessed to witness

the great symphony of lights again. And this time it was on an

even larger scale – east coast style.

After his shooting wrapped, my husband and I decided to sneak

out from the hotel in Kemaman to have some private time

together away from the cast and crew. Initially the plan was

about getting our hands on fabulous seafood around town. When

we asked for directions we were pleasantly surprised that the

friendly front desk staff recommended we check out the recently

discovered fireflies sanctuary in Sungai Yak Yah, Kampung Ibok -

located about half an hour from the town of Chukai and said to be

one of the biggest firefly colonies in Malaysia.

It was especially exciting for me because being the outdoorsy

person that I am; I find the dance of fireflies a unique and rare

sight compared to other wildlife. Fireflies, or locally known as

kelip-kelip, produce its sparkle due to a chemical reaction of

combined enzyme and oxygen. A firefly can turn its lights on

and off by controlling oxygen supplies. In the camping trips

with friends during varsity at most we could spot was probably

about ten to twenty, paying our tents a visit only after a pouring

rain. There are just a few places in the country that provide ideal

breeding grounds for these splendid insects as they are likely to

dwell in moisture retention areas such as streams, marshes and

rivers.

Arriving at a 13-kilometre stretch of the Yak Yah riverbank armed

with cameras, we were advised by our guide to roam around the

jetty area for a 5-kilometre radius worth of photo ops around it.

It was roughly 7 pm that we found a good spot to sit down and

wait for the `showcase’, but we were bothered by mosquito bites.

The riverbank was pretty empty too, except for us and a touristy

family of six.

Thankfully my husband had insect repellent in his pack and some

public relation skills to strike up conversations with the shy

locals. That got us to know that despite the amazing spectacle

we were about to see, an elderly man told us that every month

hardly 100 visitors come by as many travelers are still unaware of

the site. It wasn’t until 2006 that Kemaman authorities decided to

develop Yak Yah into a new tourism destination for Terengganu,

especially considering its strategic location that’s only

15 kilometres from the popular tourist spot of Kijal. Throughout

the years Yak Yah’s reputation have slowly built up interest of

even international visitors.

The mosquito setback quickly faded as half an hour later, the day

closed its curtains to complete darkness and I could see flickers

of miniscule `light bulbs’ taking flights out from their hiding. We

became unbelievably still, afraid that that slightest twitch would

spoil the incredible panorama unfolding before us. It was as if I was

standing at a deserted Orchard Road in Singapore on Christmas Eve

and the big hand of God slowly turned on every switch on each

heavily embellished pine trees of décor and illumination. Within one

and a half hours later, every single tree along the river was covered

with the warm amber glow of fireflies – setting any sightseer’s heart

aflutter.

At the time we where there, some trees along the river bank may

have hosted over a thousand fireflies. Berembam and Putat trees

were plentiful and those were actually the fireflies’ source of

food. My husband and I could not conceal our elation. While there

were oohs and aahs at how the fireflies were putting on their best

gleaming display of lights, a little boy who came with his family

earlier tried to lure some fireflies into his 1.5 litre plastic bottle

but was warned by our guide to let the fireflies be in their natural

setting. Despite the encouraging numbers of fireflies surrounding

us, there has actually been more in the past but was threatened by

human entrapment and evolution of nature throughout the years.

The appreciation activities can be done all around the year except from the month of October to January and the best time to go here for firefly appreciation activities is from July to September, which is the mating season for the firefly.

The waterfalls in Terengganu are one of the best kept

secrets around. It is a blessing in disguise that the

waterfalls were never part of the big commercialism to

attract mass tourists. Till today, some are hardly known and

if they were, it is nearly untouched standing proudly in the

dense of the tropical forests.

Jeram Penitih.

One little secret worth sharing with nature lovers, who

actually respect and care for Mother Earth’s beautiful

creations, is Jeram Penitih. It is made of about 20 streams

that cascade down from the top of the mountains into

countless waterfalls, all the way down to its foot. Jeram

Penitih has always been under the radar and up to date the

pathway only goes as far as half way up.

At the bottom, it is a comfortable trek from stream to

stream that averages around 3 to 10 meters apart. There

is open ground for visitors to rest while breathing fresh air

and enjoying the majestic view. Here, clear streams flow at

various depth, speed and inclinations; some might just be

ankle-deep for the faint hearted or little children, the more

fascinating ones flows down in a rush from up to 60 meter

heights.

To get to Jeram Penitih, your sense of adventure has to

really be intact since it is quite well hidden from

civilization. From the Chukai town, head 40 kilometers to

Bandar Sri Bandi, then, reroute into a 7 km plantation road

that brings you all the way to Jeram Penitih. The nearest

village is around 10 kilometers away.

Sekayu Waterfall

Sekayu Waterfall is a sight to behold. Located within the

Sekayu Recreational Forest in Kuala Berang, it has always

been a popular fun spot among the locals as well as the

tourists. The sight and sound of its clear fresh

water gushing from the top of the green tropical hill is very

enthralling. The giant tropical trees surrounding

offer a natural canopy under the day’s hot sun.

I exchanged a look with my husband and let out a loud chuckle.

For those who desire more than just the waterfall, Sekayu

Waterfall is a 56 km drive from Kuala Terengganu, and about

45 minutes drive through perfect country scenery. There is a

minimal charge of RM1.00 at the entrance of the recreational

forest, but hey, the experience is just priceless.

Lasir Waterfall

Last but not least, you can only say you’ve seen it all

after your visit to Lasir Waterfall – one of the main

highlights of Lake Kenyir. No doubt, Lasir Waterfall

is all-natural, sitting on one of the many highlands

submerged in the man-made lake, creating new is-

lands. With a height of a hundred feet combined

with magnificent natural rock formations, it stands

out picture-perfect.

The tranquility of the surroundings is like getting

a free top-notch spa package from Mother Nature.

Exfoliate with soft pebbles from the bottom of the

pool and lounge on the bedrocks while enjoying the

sprinkles of sunlight in between the shady canopy

of the surrounding forest.

If too much relaxing turns you edgy, walk your legs

up to the hiking trail and suspension bridge built

across the Lasir Waterfall. The hiking trail leads to

the top of the waterfall and there is a camping site

too. Another comfort here is freshwater fishing in

the quieter parts of the waterfall.

So whenever you fancy a natural, therapeutic show-

er under a gigantic natural showerhead that drops

crystal clear fresh water from hundreds of feet

above, come to Terengganu. You will definitely fall

for it.

Lake Kenyir“Size does Matter”

The Majestic

Lake Kenyir was formed by a dam constructed in 1980’s,

creating water catchments area of over 209,000 sq. hectares,

hence crowned the largest man-made lake in Southeast Asia. The

dam was built to create a massive water reserve to power a huge

hydroelectric turbine. This power station can produce up to 100

megawatts of electricity supplied throughout peninsular Malaysia.

The lake is a systematic reservoir, which means the water level varies depending on the

month. The water level is highest in March and April and hence the lake looks most beautiful

around this time. There are more than 340 islands surrounded by the lake, with numerous

waterfalls, rapids and streams.

The lake is known as a unique tourist destination for her beautiful scenario of tropical forest

and widely known for its valuable flora and fauna species. It is believed that the area is the

habitat of more than 8000 species of flowers, 2500 species of plants and trees, 8000 species

of orchids, 370 species of birds and 300 species of fresh water fish.

Back in history, this area was a centre of human community in the era of Neolithic. Some

artifact had been uncovered by a group of archeologists in 1956 and 1970’s. Such artifacts

were kitchen utensil, axes and tools dating back in Neolithic era.

There are countless activities to be experienced; from exploring the islands and

mountains, to beautiful natural caves and waterfalls, to bird watching and fishing. Since water is

everywhere, the next fun things to do are canoeing, rafting, and kayaking. There are a few

ways to discover this mysterious, gigantic lake; such as to adventure on foot - through

natural hiking trails, or on the laid-back houseboats. Either way, your starting point to

explore Lake Kenyir begins at Pengkalan Gawi (Gawi Jetty) or Pengkalan Utama.

There are houseboats operated by resort operators, which doubles as accommodation and

your mode of getting around the lake. Definitely this choice of exploration is easy on the

feet. In these boats, you won’t miss the highlights of the lake, like the stunning waterfalls

and caves, as your tour guide will bring you straight to them. Meals are freshly cooked by

the chef cum boat driver, on board of the houseboat. These wooden houseboats get you

everywhere during day time but to overnight on board is optional. We highly recommend

the overnight experience on the houseboats, waking up the next morning to the beautiful

sight of the lake, the chirping sound of the birds, and perhaps a catch on the bait you hooked

the night before.

For anglers, this lake is a mad house of freshwater fishes. Popular species are the gigantic

Tomans (Snakeheads), Kelisa (Arowanas), Kelab, Soberau and Lampan, among others - at

least 25 species of fish for the hard-core anglers. Some of the good and popular fishing spots

are Soak, Cacing, Pertang, Leban, Petuang and Sungai Terenggan. Fishing permit is required

from the wildlife Department if you need to fish in restricted National Park area.

Camping beside the waterfalls is an experience not to be missed. At night, you can listen

to all the forest symphonies of nocturnal insects and animals. Lay down on the ground and

gaze at the open sky and be a part of the natural heritage that withstood the test of time,

where prehistoric animals once roam in the million years old rainforests.

“Livin’ la vida loca” is when some friends and I decided to flee our urban woes to the heavens of Kenyir for just a weekend. What could we do in just two days and one night? When the city slickers in us uncovered a fascinating itinerary up in the east coast, I was very excited to learn that many rugged activities were in store for us – including roughing it out on a houseboat! The thought of spending such quality time with the gang and Mother Nature’s magnificent waters was something not to be missed.

Approximately 55 kilometres from Kuala Terengganu, Gawi Jetty is the main gateway to the lake where visitors

can opt to hop on the Kenyir Express bus that departs daily from Hentian Putra in Kuala Lumpur at 8.00pm daily.

Another way to go about it will be taking the coastal road through Kemaman, Dungun, Kuala Terengganu and

then Kenyir Lake by car or opt for the Jerangau Jabur highway that enroute to Kuala Berang and Tasik Kenyir.

However, there is also an alternative entrance to Kenyir Lake at the Sultan Mahmud Hydroelectric Power Station

which we eventually headed to as it was the pick-up point for our houseboat where convenient parking for road

travelers like us were abundant.

Our seven-hour journey drive inland of Kuala Berang towards Ajil was immediately rewarded as we stepped

out to picture-perfect scenery that stretched as far as the eyes could see. One would imagine that the

architecture of the water dam would be an obtrusive build-up but it seemed in harmony with the lush, tropical

jungle surrounding it. The green panorama that stretched in front of us was both impressive

and intimidating. We were glad that our last minute plans led us here and we were thankful that we had the

opportunity to witness one of God’s beautiful tapestries.

At the jetty, there are a number of boat operators such as our friendly and helpful guide; Pang, who helped us

up our vessel for the night and served as captain of our `voyage’. Our modest floating chalet came as a roomy

two-decked boat that doubled as a fishing trailer. A flash packer at heart, the first thing I did when I got up to the

houseboat was inspect basic amenities that it had to offer and I must say that I was very impressed. Despite its

rugged exterior, the boat was well-kept and equipped with proper safety precautions such as life jackets and fire

extinguishers. Meanwhile, the top bunk served as a comfortable open-air dormitory with eight beds altogether

while the lower deck of the houseboat offers a communal area for us to dine and hangout. We dubbed it the

`bistro’ because it came with a large kitchen and a cook! Pang introduced us to Kak Piah whose responsibility

was to keep our stomachs happy at all essential mealtimes, and boy, were we famished by then.

Half of us squealed in excitement when the boat finally left the power station and made its way towards our pit

stop, Lasir Waterfalls which was about two hours away. There were safe and sturdy platforms surrounding the

boat that we couldn’t resist dipping our feet from while the boat tore through the emerald currents. The waters

were so clean that the girls took the opportunity to bathe themselves in a wet t-shirt competition with pails

provided by Pang. The vibe was very Survivor-like as we approached Lasir. All nine of us stood awestruck as we

approached the 500 foot-waterfall that gracefully fell into multi-tiered boulders. It was around two in the

afternoon and thus far, we were the only people around. It felt as if we were pirates that docked on new land!

Once Pang got the boat anchored, he let us loose to discover the spot armed with cameras.

When we came back to the boat, Kak Piah served a superb lunch of mixed rice dishes. To top that off, the sun

was just in its best moods that we felt we couldn’t waste it on the delicious carbs that have just kicked in. Some

of us scoured the watery expanse of the area with a kayak while the rest tried their hand to circumnavigate the

perimeter with the two short oars of the sampan or skiff that Pang brought over. By then there were quite a

number of other houseboats that arrived including an entourage from a school trip.

Regardless, we were still left at peace to enjoy a good night’s sleep accompanied by the

whirring and flickering bulbs of fireflies. In the tranquil darkness, the guys whipped out

their fishing rods, banking on the lake’s reputation as a breeding ground fresh water fish

such as baung, lampam and many other popular prizes such as the tapah, toman (snake

head fish),ketutu and sebarau - which later proved to be a hilarious attempt. The girls later

decided to console them with rounds of card games and Taboo and laughter broke the

silence of dusk.

Our adventure was eventually short-lived when Pang announced our departure back to the

jetty. We disheartened but we decided we would not leave without a fight. Within the safe

confines of the houseboat, we had a blast in the cold, clear waters of Lasir that flowed on to

the lake. As we cannon-balled into the lake from the edge of the boat, we all became kids

once again and left all our grown-up worries behind. Lazing by the banks of the river, what a

charmed life that we tempted to live and it was a trip that we would never forget.

23TRAVEL TIPS

Sunshiny Terengganu is always raved about for its unique heritage and beautiful landscapes but basic know-

hows to get the best out of a vacation in the state are few and far between. It is important for holiday enthusiasts

to be travel savvy by catching up on literature that provides basic information on the place to be visited in avoid-

ance of culture shock - or looking like a total clown in a country of strangers, for that matter. This brief overview

spells pointers to look out for which at the end of it, travellers will find that understanding the local folk, their

culture and lifestyle is not really rocket science.

Getting There

The limelight each year lies offshore on The Emerald Islands of

Redang, Perhentian Besar, Perhentian Kecil, Lang Tengah, Tenggol,

Gemia and Kapas. Summer would be the busiest season of the year

where tourists flock the jetties of Kuala Besut, Marang, Merang,

Kuala Terengganu and Kuala Dungun.

The newly renovated Sultan Mahmud Airport (TGG) in Kuala

Terengganu opens its doors to flights daily from capital Kuala Lumpur

and twice daily from Penang and is accessible to the usual jump-off

point for the islands. Currently flights that operate to this airport is

Malaysia Airlines (MAS), Air Asia and the latest connection is Fireflyz,

a budget airline enroute from Penang to Kuala Lumpur via Kuala

Terengganu

Terengganu is accessible by interstate express buses from Kuala

Lumpur, Perak and Penang in the North and various other cities.

Sight-seeing

It’s quite easy to hail a cab if you are in Kuala Terengganu and Kemaman town

but to trot to remote areas without a tour group will require a little adventure

of hopping on and off intercity buses which is actually quite convenient and

cheap. The stops would be along the highway beside coastal villages that offer

a fantastic panorama throughout your journey.

Even better if you prefer to rent a car and discover routes on your own as

the roads are pretty straight forward. Do be cautious of farm animals such as

buffaloes and even villagers cycling or walking along the road in the evenings.

Flooding in certain lowland areas are common during monsoon season so do

check out the situation first before getting behind the wheel.

Hunting for FoodGood and cheap eateries can be found in coffee shops (kedai kopi) along roadsides of villages while towns boast medium-sized to open air restaurants. Usually in the day, breakfast offerings are nasi dagang – a traditional Terengganu dish containing rice, fish and savoury fermented cucumbers; nasi lemak, a spicy but delicious concoction of rice simmered with coconut milk and served with anchovies and chilli paste; or just peanut butter toast with eggs and washed down black coffee if you feel like it.At night, seafood is abundant in Chinese restaurants as well as Malay ones that offer a hint of Thai cooking with dishes served.

Western fast food such as McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut are also available.

The Trouble to BrewRecovering alcoholics will find staying in Terengganu immensely healing. Due

to its Muslim-dominated nature, bottled spirit is hard to come by in the state

unless you have bought your own from elsewhere.

Some hotels do not serve alcohol beverages but room guests are free to buy at

any of the designated liquor stores in town for their quiet evening of leisure.

Alcohol can be bought at designated liquor stores run by non-Muslims and

served only in non-halal Chinese restaurants.

Beer is also available in major grocery stores.

Covering UpThe word to look out for is `modesty’. Tourists in skimpy clothes would be

really out of place. The conservative, Muslim-oriented state does not

discriminate non-Muslims females sans headscarf but it would be respectful if

whatever fashion statement adorned do not bear midriff, shoulders or show off

most of the legs. For males, being shirtless and wearing super-short bottoms

(please, leave the Speedos at home) would only attract unwanted attention.

Topless stunts are absolute no-nos in Terengganu public.

Hitting the SackUnlike the west coast, high-end hotels are quite rare

and can usually be found in very secluded areas like

Dungun and Setiu to protect privacy of guests. While

hunting for a place to spend the night in town, don’t

panic if you can’t find any at major architectures that

offer vacancy.

Head toward the more hectic part of town where

the trend is boutique hotels located on top floors of

shoplots. In spite of its initially unattractive exterior,

many of these unique accommodations offer classy

facilities such as broadband and cable television.

Speaking upAlthough most friendly locals speak English, don’t expect everyone to be able to hold a conversation long enough for you to find your way around with directions given, considering that the Terengganu accent is thicker and more slurred from the “standard” Malay.

However, learning some basic Malay phrases would be helpful as many will not have a problem understanding it.
