Biodiversity Lawyers @ FRIM


The Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) founded in 1929 as the Forest Research Institute (FRIM) was a department under the Forestry Headquarters Peninsular Malaysia. FRIM promotes sustainable forest management and the optimal use of forest resources through the knowledge and technology generated from the various researches conducted. (http://www.frim.gov.my/)

I don't want to promote FRIM here.  I writing this because I want to share my biodiversity law class's trip to FRIM.  Nothing special about this trip, it is just  because I'm falling in love with this subject and I'm very happy to have trip during LLM.

I left early from home 6.30 am (punyalah semangat) and fortunately, it's not really jammed at Federal Highway.  I fetched Madi at Pantai Dalam and parked my WEY near 12th college. Madi, Mas and I was having nasi goreng for our breakfast while waiting Rumaysa at 12th college.  We decided to car-pool in order to save fuel. So, dalam pukul 8 pagi tu kitaorang bertolak ke FRIM.

Bila sampai kitaorang lepak2 dulu kat depan Pejabat Pentadbiran FRIM sementara menunggu classmates yang lain sampai.

cam gangster ko duduk babe..
Ooit..makan kuey teow kungfu 






Tunggu Jeni ikat tali kasut

Even though pegi FRIM ni mcm ala - ala berkelah, tapi kitaorg kena join dengar lecture tentang 'Traditional Knowledge in Malaysia' at Lecture Hall, Pusat Inovasi dan Penyelidikan'. It was conducted by Dr. Lim and Dr. Musaadah and based on the lecture, I concluded that Malaysia is still lacking in law and regulations in order to protect biodiversity. Hah, simple gila conclusion.

Around 11.00 am, kitaorg start jungle-trekking.  It took almost one hour to reach at Check point Canopy Walk. Bukannyer jauh sangat pun tapi semua orang stamina tak kuat including Prof. Gurdial, we've to stop several times.

Dr. Lim and Samuel



Muka x penat g..

Check point canopy Walk



Baru jer sampai kat Check point Canopy Walkway, kitaorg dah rasa setengah mati.  So, jungle-trekking diteruskan lagi without any barriers.  With the help and assistance by FRIM's staffs, everything run smoothly. After 45 minutes, we reached at top even though penat gila baban.

KL's view
X tinggi pun, 3 m jer..

 

Canopy Walkway hanya setinggi 3m jer, xde lah rasa gayat sangat. Untuk safety, setiap check point capacity dalam 4-5 orang jer dan xleh goyang - goyang kat atas tu. Tapi macam biasa, kitaorg gegar jugak kat atas tu..eermm, outlaw students. 

Bila nak menurun nie, senang sangat sebab tak mendaki.  Macam squirrel turun, laju habis. Sempat singgah jap kat air terjun dalam tu. Sejuknya air dier, rasa macam nak mandi jer. 



Dok tenung aper r 2..


Setelah penat berjalan, kami menikmati hidangan makan tengahari di Aneka Selera Rus Untung, FRIM.  Masakan panas, berlauk, kuih-muih dan mcam-macam lagi. Yang paling best dier, mak cik nie punya bihun sup, sedap gila dgn ramuan yang banyak.  Murah plak tu..Dahlah dekat ngan hutan, suasana yang nyaman.



Comey kucing nie tido

Seleepas perut kenyang, kitaorang pun berjimba di Herborium.  Jauh jugak nak pergi ke situ dan hujan renyai - renyai plak.  Di situ, kami diberi penerangan tentang raw material yg di samplekan. Dapat juga melihat pelbagai jenis tumbuhan yang ada khasiat berdasarkan kajian saintifik tapi semua tu yang dah kering.


Rafflesia yg di freezekan

Our last destination is Taman Etnobotani.  Kena drive sebab jauh dari Herborium.  Here, FRIM ada menjual tanaman - tanaman yang ada khasiat untuk menghilangkan pelbagai penyakit melalui pengubatan tradisional.  Pokok nie pun kebanyakannya yang dah biasa kita lihat dan banyak terdapat di kampung - kampung.  Hanya kita sahaja yang tak mengamalkan pengubatan tradisional nie..After that, kitaorg pun balik ke rumah masing. Planning nyer Prof nak belanja dinner tapi ramai yang x boleh join. So, dinner pun cancel..huuu..sedih..






After all, trip nie sangat bermakna for us as biodiversity lawyers becoz kita dapat banyak input tentang pemeliharaan dan pemuliharaan biodiversiti di Malaysia. Besides, we get to know each other well with this trip. Kelas Prof Gurdial memang terbaik!!
