Shops, hill, and telecommunication tower

I was there in Bahau with my parents to attend my father’s friend’s sister’s wedding dinner.  It had been 10 years since we last met, the friend was once my father’s business partner in KL before we moved back to Taiping.

As it is near FELDA, I get to see rubber trees and the process of rubber tapping (menoreh getah). It had been some time since I last saw any rubber trees. When I was in KL, we always pass through RRIM (Rubber Research Institute Malaysia) near Sg. Buloh. After moving back to Taiping, I have not seen any rubber trees anymore, and it was 17 years ago!!

Actually, that morning we went hiking. And that was when I saw rubber tapper working. It was really my first time seeing how to tap rubber trees up-close. I even had it on video.

Wake up early morning everyday to start tapping on trees, it's a good exercise for rubber tapper. Did anyone surveyed before if rubber tapper live a longer life?
