Sagil Village. On the way from Tangkak to Ayer Panas.
This used to be the first landing spot upon arrival at Ayer Panas. Stock up on drinks from the Tey family provision shop, before proceeding through rubber estate track to the waterfall. Gunung Ledang mountain range at the background.
Hilly terrain from the balcony of the estate manager's residence.
Another view from the same house. Fresh unpolluted air.
Indian temple serving the spritual needs of the workforce. Indian temple sited on private land, recipe for potential dispute when development comes in.

Stone-age equatorial trees. Hope corrupt officers working with greedy timber merchants will not come in with their chain-saw to harvest the wood.
The Pillais' Residence in the early days.
Jackfruit tree. Unattended so you see the blemises on the skin.

The leaves of the Traveller's Palm, young shoot, matured leaves and dying ones. From the soil it cometh and return it will.
Best worker in the world though abit slow.
Heng Khung says this is Fig tree (wu-hua guo). I haven't seen one before, so take it as is.
Post card picture of the waterfall.
The steep slope is a journey of no return. To be admired only.
The waterfall is within the Ayer Panas resort. An entrance fee is collected but is free for guest of the resort. Good for some quiet get-away or company functions.
