A Trip To Cheng Wong Forest In Malaysia (with Pictures) by expatinmalay: 3:34pm On Aug 07, 2022
Recently I (with some friends) went for a jungle trip to Cheng Wong forest in Malaysia (located in Krau Wildlife Reserve). The original inhabitants of the forest are the Orang Asli people. The forest size is about 61,000ha (bigger than the size of Singapore), The journey was 14km trekking into the forest from Lanchang village (East coast Malaysia). The trek took us between 4-5 hours but with 15mins rest after every 1 hour trekking. We slept in the jungle (camping) for 2 nights and set up our tent in the open, we took out bath in the stream, had to drink and cook with the water flowing from the stream.

Our tour lead is Mr Zali, he is a former VAT69 leader (a sand colour beret member), he is tough and a serious lead as he doesn’t like people complaining.

Here is a brief about the Orang Asli people:

The population is about 1000

Their major religion is animalism
They are the smallest tribe in Malaysia
The leader of the tribe is Quan he is more than 90 years old and very strong man
The name of his wife is Wan,
He has 13 children
He was had opportunity to go UK but he rejected the offer as he didn’t trust anywhere outside the jungle
They are heavy smokers and starts smoking as early as age 6
They are largely hunters and fishermen
They don’t engage in business or sell things to themselves
A professor came from UK to spend 20months in the jungle to make a research about Quan and his people in the 80’s

The trip was really interesting.

Here are the jungle rules:
1. No cutting of trees of plucking of leaves
2. no killing of ANY animal or insect in the forest
3. no littering of the forest (we had to move all our trash out of the forest)
4. no destruction of lives or reducing the population of the forest
5. Special permit is requested/required from the authority before going into the forest (the permit takes about 2 weeks to get approval)
6. Everyone is required to sign a letter of indemnity before going into the forest (meaning you are OYO if anything happens to you)
7. You are to submit a copy of your passport and go into the forest with a copy as part of your luggage

The rules above applies only to forest/jungle guests, it does not apply to the inhabitants

For real?
Boko Haram that was brought to destabilize and embarrass the PhD holders gov even by the the chibok girls kidnapping. Who told the PhD holder that an attack on Boko Haram was an attack on the north when PhD man fought back?
Even when Mr PhD saw sabotage by eliments in the army, and took a proactive step by employing the services of South African defense contractors that in 2 months took over land the size of Belgium from Boko Haram, who then said it was an embarrassment that Nigeria had to employ mercenaries? Further canceled the contract? The heardsman oga at the top and apc lead by the agbado master!
PhD holder decimated Boko Haram to the level elections held in all local gov of the country.
Today what is the situation? Can you travel to your village in the north? Do it I dare you! Hmm. I will contribute to your ransom fund, even if it is 5k.
