 A lifer for me for Peninsular Malaysia birds. John Bakar was instrumental to organize this trip after the Fraser Bird race. Along the trip was Kleen (Precision Optic Asia Pte Ltd - Singapore)  who is the main guy to sponsor us the vehicle and also a new friend Shaun (Teh Soon Huat, from Lee Photo Sdn Bhd.) with him, we could never find this place.
