Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is situated in the state of Sabah on the edge of the Kabili Forest
Reserve. There are usually buses which come from Sandakan directly to Sepilok. The bus journey takes
about 45 minutes. Taxis from Sandakan Airport take around 20 minutes and if you are coming from
Kota Kinabalu, the journey by bus takes 5 hours. However, there are frequent flights from Kota Kinabalu
to Sandakan which takes 45 minutes.
The centre was set up in 1964 by Barbara Harrison. It was the first centre in the world to devote itself
to the rehabilitation of orphaned orangutans. The Sepilok Reserve is about 43 square kilometres in area,
situated at the lowland of the equatorial rainforest. Here, care is given to young orangutans orphaned due to
illegal logging and deforestation. The rehabilitation process takes up to seven years and requires dedication
and commitment. A baby orangutan is taken care of like a human baby.

The orangutans have to develop skills such as climbing. So the centre places the youngsters with older
orphans who will show them the skills. They are eventually released into the surrounding forest reserve
where they spend most of their time. They will sometimes return to the centre to eat. Visitors are not allowed
to touch the orangutans because they are very vulnerable to human diseases. Human contact is also kept
to a minimum to avoid unnecessary risks to visitors. Orangutans are very strong and wild animals can be
unpredictable.

below. LS: 4.1.3
During the last school holidays, I went to Kuala Selangor. I visited Melawati Hill. On top of the hill is
the Kuala Selangor Lighthouse, also known as Altingsburg Lighthouse which can be seen clearly from
far. The hill is also home to silver leaf monkeys. There are so many of them there. The silver leaf
monkeys are friendly. Feeding the monkeys was a special experience for me. I did not know that they
would start to climb all over us as we started to feed them. My cousin playfully placed the fruit on my
head and when the monkey came to grab the fruit, it grabbed my hair. I was scared and I started running.
Then the monkey got scared too. The monkey held onto me tightly, covering my eyes. I stumbled and
fell. The monkey let go of me and ran for its life. I had some injuries on my face and some parts of

Last weekend, my family and I visited a small coastal village northwest of Kuala Lumpur. The village is
known for its attractions alongside the Selangor River which runs through the village. So we arranged for
an eco-friendly rowing boat for our tour. A local boatman was our guide and escorted us. The boat ride at
night itself was such a beautiful experience. On this river, we spotted the famous fireflies. Their flashing
lights sometimes synchronized and the overall effect was just like the twinkling lights of a Christmas tree.
I stood up and tried to catch one of them. Unfortunately, I lost my balance and almost fell into the river.
Luckily, the boatman got hold of me and I was alright. I was embarrassed but grateful that I did not get wet.

Now why so loving, darling, But surely you’re some stranger,
And why the sudden kiss? No rage or hullabaloo.
You’d help me with some little jobs? Come closer, let me look, dear,
For goodness sake, what’s this? Can this be REALLY you?
Your face is clean for once, dear, Now were you struck by lightning
Your clothes without a crease. Or were you stunned at sport?
You saved your luncheon money? Ah … now I see the reason.
Will wonders never cease? You’ve brought your school report!
