Selamat Ari Gawai 2010

Bamboo - an indispensable grass for all seasons

During the last few weeks, the garbage bins in my neighbourhood have been toppled by a few stray dogs looking for food among the garbages. As a result garbages were strewn all over the places.

But lo and behold! Today, someone resourceful has come up with a solution to deter the dogs from toppling the bins using bamboo poles. Ingenious, isn't it?





Bamboos belong to the grass family but is placed in a separate family due to the presence of woody culms or stems. It finds its usefulness in lots of situations - from "pansuh" to building material and as conduit for water.

A page from the past

This is a very rare plague from the time of Sarawak's first Chief Minister. The plague goes like this:

THIS BUILDING WAS DECLARED OPEN BY
THE HONOURABLE DATO STEPHEN K. NINGKAN
THE CHIEF MINISTER OF SARAWAK
ON THE 24th AUGUST 1965

Guess which building is that?
