After dinner, we start our night jungle walk.
Nothing much we can see as it it pitch black.
9th June
The day started very bad, my standard zoom lens cracked :(, I guess is caused by the coldness in the room and the warmness of the nature.
However, I still have my wide angle and zoom lens.

A national disaster was declared on 5th January 1971. 1972 Following the damaging nation-wide flood in 1971, the DID was entrusted to undertake an extensive flood mitigation programme. Flood Mitigation and Hydrology was designated as functions of DID.

Other measures include river diversion, river training and clearing, as well as the upkeep and management of river reserves. Telemetric flood forecasting systems were installed in Sg. Kelantan, Sg.
