"THE OLD FAITHFUL"

The interior

On the way back to Kelantan after an academical visit to Sri Aman Secondary Girls School and Seremban Science School via Kuala Pilah, we had a brief stop, few kilometres from the town. An old house erected in 1934, still in upright position captured my sight. Made of 100% product from our lush forest, once owned by a wealthy family. Had been abandoned for decades, recently occupied. Some of us bought smoked fowl and cat fish which were sold nearby.

PITY THE NATURE, THE GIFT OF ALLAH

The beach before sunrise

The Semerak river with the Tok Bali bridge in the foreground

The sand ridge, very suitable for camping but, notice the litter

The river bank, more litter

Location: Tok Bali, Pasir Puteh, Kelantan.
Natural Landscapes: Beach, Sand Ridge, Bay and River mouth.
Main Cultural Landscape: Wave Breaker.
Activities: Picnic, dipping, camping and angling.

Currently it is the sight for sore eyes, litter everywhere, perhaps due to poor management or ignored by the local council or the tenants. Most probably due to senseless holiday makers and visitors. If well managed or the clear mind of appropriate human beings, the site is extremely good to be within sight of the above features.
