Pergau Dam
Hydroelectric dam on the Pergau River in Malaysia, near the Thai border. Building work began in 1991 with money from the UK foreign aid budget. Concurrently, the Malaysian government bought around £1 billion worth of arms from the UK. The suggested linkage of arms deals to aid became the subject of a UK government enquiry from March 1994. In November 1994 a High Court ruled as illegal British foreign secretary Douglas Hurd’s allocation of £234 million towards the funding of the dam, on the grounds that it was not of economic or humanitarian benefit to the Malaysian people.
The dam is the largest aid project ever financed by the UK.
Sheih is lucky to have such an understanding and loving boss…. like Husam….bringing him to paradise…to cheer him up.
huh… dekat kg kawe tu…🙂
Very beatiful indeed. We should and government of Kelantan must protect and preserves our heritage of natures for good living of future genaration. I think we are the protector of Nature/Alam
Tok cekak napok Dato’ Huse…..
shieh, keno ambik gambar fauna juga.flora sajo tak jadi. Demo tak jumpa gajah liar ko situ ?
mother’s nature, I saw the gajah liar recently on my return journey from Ipoh a few days ago. See the photo at my blog now.
The powerful bloggers like RPK, Jeff, Rocky, Sheikh, Marina, etc to launch a campaign to boycott MSM (main stream media) for certain period – say from 15 April to 15 May 2008. In a simple calculation, they will collapse, no revenue…
At the same time, Pakatan Rakyat should publish a new newspaper – printed version of Malaysia Blogs actually, give it a name like Berita Pakatan Rakyat, Berita Alternatif, etc. Fill this newspaper with weaknesses of Barisan Nasional leadership and silaplaku (wrongdoings). The rest on classified, jobs, etc as of the things you can find in daily newspapers.
Print a limited number of version to be firstly distributed at friendly states like Kelantan (10K copies), Perak (20K), Penang(20K), Selangor(20K), Kedah(10K) and WP(30K). Don’t make money for three years, strictly charge to support costs at 50 sen to 80 sen for 20 pages.
I am sure it’s going to be a hit, no harm trying. Not many people have the opportunity to read from cyberspace.
I have a complete strategy, interested just contact me. Free of charge…. of course!

Kbguy,
They say a picture is worth a thousand words…
Your 2nd picture under Qing Ming is best titled: “How to put a good use to a newspaper…” (especially Utusan)
got it admit, beauty is still at large. good works.
Kbguy,
Lucky you to have met with the gentle giants… For years and countless trips along the East West Highway, all I could show to my tourists are the elephants crossing road signs and sometimes when we are lucky enough are elephants’ poop….(dung)
Bro,
the Hurd deal probably gave ‘inspiration’ to some C4-dude. What’s with the ‘visit’, bro?
Nice picture anyway from Kickdefella🙂 A Also minat fotografi and i knew the quality🙂
BUt the most happening picture is here @ http://whitenaval.wordpress.com🙂
Can you see how the crowd at the stadium ? So happening🙂
SaY “hI” to Husam for me. 🙂
whoaa…i am so in love with the river stream.
Whenever time permits…I will fly off to Indonesia and live on top of the mountain sides….just like what you see from the photos….amongst the forest dwellers.
I tell you…these hutan people are more noble…more sincere and more dignified than most city dwellers……that are working so hard……after money…….to stay alive in city conditions.
City folks are blinded by the circumstances…..created by all governments of the world…for so call progresses in life.
You need to live with those hutan folks……..to experience how lucky and fortunate they are….where cheap food and fresh fruits are plentiful…..nothing in the city…….they cannot get at the hutan….except….all the sinful entertainments.
In that sense….PAS is very noble and correct to try and maintain such lifestyles in Kelantan….free from evil influences…to create greed and selfishness.
But it is impossible for Malaysia…as humans here…have made it move forward by force ..ignoring religions…..but to keep up with the developed countries. Their boastful attitudes…..building twin towers…long bridges….and many more big big things….to show off…. have in fact speed up downfall of Malaysia faster than normal. There is no going back. All Malaysian are caught up in this devilish leader whims and fancies.
Scientists and true religious teachers have indentified……..Greed….by humans….will destroy themselves……..not from aliens.
Humans are the shortest species..on Earth….that will kill themselves with their own greed and selfishness.
1. Ambo naik lemoh tengok Bro Husam makka lagu tuh nok masuk hutan.. kalu pong maghi dari tepak lain.. mesti doh ado agenda nok masuk hutan.. at least paka la kasut trekking.. ehkheke..
2. Persoalan lain ambo toksir kosek.. ambo cumo nok tanyo.. adokoh KERAJAAE KELATE ado buat pakej program TREKKING KO HUTAN PERGAU… setahu ambo.. pergau nih rapat benar dengan HUTAN BELUM..
sebenarnya ianya satu tarikan pelancungan… TAPI … sebaiknya ada sekatan dan kawalan dari pihak kerajaan sendiri.. isu kawalan dari PERHILITAN, JHEOA dsb.. ambo raso.. semmo oghe jelas doh.. ambo pon minat nok gi situ.. lamo doh.. tapi tok tahu nok gi tuju halah manno.. ambo duk pk, lebih baik gi alah ko PERGAU @ BELUM daghi gi ko TAMAN NEGARA.. untuk budget backpackers lah..
Pergau…menarik tuh. Tempat untuk merehatkan minda dari segalo mace kekusute hok ado. Cumo jange bui jjadi serupo Jelawang lah, mulo-mulo ambo naik G. Stong, dekat 20 tahun lepah, masih comel sangat lagih, Arwah Pakda Baha pun ado lagih atah tuh, pahtu ambo gi lagi pertengahe 90, ado resort doh bbowoh tuh, molek benar lah, tapi apo jadi doh denge resort tuh? Try nok buking (online) 2 tahun lepah, tapi napok gayo ssupo tok beroperasi doh. Takdok promosi ko?
ambo pikir kalu nok masuk hutan2 tersebut.. keno ado batasan jumlah manusia.. dan dipesan & dikawal secara berkesan.. kesan2 kemusnahan dari penerokaan manusia..
bagus sebenarnyo kalu kito nok buat satu contoh .. dan ambo setuju benar kalu KERAJAAN KELANTAN mengambil sampel2 spesis tumbahan @ pokok2 yae hampir pupus/istimewa.. yang boleh ditanam di kawasan rendah.. dijadikan lanskap dalam bandar.. sekolah.. @ masjid..
kita kena perkenalkan cara baru untuk educated new generation..
BRING THE FOREST TO THE COMMUNITY.
dan saya fikir.. dengan gambar2 diatas.. bolehlah dikeluarkan kalendar.. dijual.. boleh buat sumbangan untuk PERJUANGAN RAKYAT..
The only dams I had visited is the Air Itam ,Melawati and Pedu dam.
Is Pergau dam off limit to visitors?
That ‘Air Terjun’ looks very enticing.
The top two photos must be wild ginger.
Bro Sheih, its time to publicise interesting places in Kelantan more often.🙂
oh, so nice the pictures
No differentiation of nature
No political element?
all the pics are nice.. but that nice feeling being blunted by uneasy feeling.. this few days.. reporters from mass media or someone represent them asking this and that from few PAS/PKR/DAP vip’s.. that is including our beloved Timbalan menteri besar kelantan.. even Mr Karpal Singh..
few weeks ago i freshly remember.. Tuan Guru Haji Abdul Hadi Awang stress that ONLY HIM IS ELIGIBLE TO GIVE COMMENT & HIS WORDS IS REPRESENT FORMAL VOICE FROM PAS.. so anyone from PAS who speaks about anything won’t be taken as “suara rasmi”..
but now.. reading the local malay newspaper is no fun anymore.. why should PAS VIP members comment about anything.. just leave it to PRESIDEN or MURSYIDUL AM..
u guys spoil my nice feeling of bro sheih pics..
u really r..
still remember what bro sheih said about managing the WINS… do we need to go backward again..
hayyo…
Masyaallah… Indahnya kejadian alam… dan seronoknya dapat boss yang understanding🙂
lovely and beautiful photos. During the construction of the tunnel and pergau dam , I did not find such beautiful and colorfull flowers. At that time the area only had ‘jarum emas’ and wild orchids. The waterfall is rich of tengas and the 75m-fill dam is the place for kelah. The photos bring me back to my past memory as a section engineer with KERJAYA BALFOUR BEATTY CEMENTATION (1992-1996). Hope the area will be preserved for new generation.
