Educational Visit to Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre

Early in the morning on 11th July 2011, at 7.30 am, we gathered at the Balai Raya and waited for the provided bus to come and fetch us. We departed to the location at 8 AM.

Arrived at the Sepilok, we were welcomed by the staff warmly. Then we were taken to the hall to listen to a talk provided by Madam. Silvia. There was a Q & A session also video-showing. The video show was about the Orang Utan or Man of the Forest as we called them in English. The best was that there was an Orang Utan in Sepilok that was adopted by some individuals.


After the talk, we went to the  Orang Utan "feeding zone" in the jungle hastily. Silently, we walked and enjoyed the scenery. Here we can see that the Orang Utan were having their meal.


After the feeding time over, the ranger brought all of us to go deep in the jungle. It was jungle-trekking time. We walked through the forest about 2 kilometers that took about 1 hour only. There are a lot of interesting things to see such as the tongkat ali herb, trees that aged hundred years and we also managed to see the Kenyalang bird. Despite of a little bit tired because we need to climb up and down the hills, all of us had a great moment there.


At 12.00 noon, we completed our jungle trekking and went back to the hall. Before went home, we exchanged token of appreciation between MISI Club and the Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre’s representative, Madam Silvia.

We learned a lot in this programme, great experience, great adventure. Hope we can come here again later. :)
