PRESERVING THE FLORA

The first impression I had when I first entered KTR was the abundant of trees and vegetation all around the resort. I had wondered how the construction of the resort had preserved a lot of the flora and instead of concrete jungle, the developer had managed to blend the buildings with the existing trees and jungles.

One of the flora that I found in abundant is the pulai trees, scientifically known as alstonia angustiloba.


This pulai tree stands majestically in the center of the photo with Block E behind. Is that beautiful?

I counted 10 of these trees just around the tennis court and the driveway leading to the clubhouse parking lot. There are a lot more around the resort.






This one is beside the tennis court.









I must admit it was love at first sight, I mean with KTR.

I feel proud to be able to work in this enviroment and I am sure all the residents of the resort feel the same i.e. living among the rich flora and fauna of the resort. Let's perserve the flora that we had inherited.

We should learn to accommodate and not destroy the flora, for once destroy, it take years to nurture the replanting of the flora. We are the intruders into the habitat of the flora i.e. we have to make way for the flora instead of the flora making way for us like clearing away the trees blocking our view.

Bye.

Most of the trees within the compound were planted after constructions are done.

It's nice to see a place where residents can get updates on our hybrid hotel/condo residents. You are doing a great job.

Anyway, what are the laundrette currently being managed by a third party or they are being paid for just being there? It seems like not a good idea as the charges are quite high, and having someone there all the time would incur more charges (electricity, manpower) in the long run.
