Sungai Palas BOH Tea Plantation

Had the chance to visit Sungai Palas Tea Plantation, which belongs to BOH. The trip was at late afternoon, so no sunrise/sunset shots. The turn-off to Sungai Palas estate was about 2 minutes from Equatorial Hotel (heading towards Simpang Pulai). From the turn-off, its a 2km horror trip of single lane road. Its still seems to be a miracle how we could actually end up at the plantation. The curves were sharp and narrow, one wrong turn of the wheel, and its free fall into the tea plantation down below.

Received this from Mr Waythamoorthy:

Dear HINDRAF supporters.

Mr.P.Uthayakumar had this message to convey to all HINDRAF supporters on the 100th day of ISA arrest and detention. The message was relayed to a close family member and I had prepared his message in a written form to reflect what he himself would have written had he be given the chance.

Managed to get on Internet today. Took the picture of sunrise (well, technically, it was already risen at 7.30am). And later in the afternoon, there was a complete rainbow for about 15 minutes. The weather is quite erratic over here. It rains at times in the afternoon or evenings, and even at night. Daytimes are quite hot when it is not raining.

The Sultan most likely will not entertain Manoharan’s request. The only option is to be sworn in at the center itself, as there is precedence for that. The sultan also does not have power to release Manoharan. Only the Home Minister can do that. » Read more: manoharan writes to sultan
