In a significant stride towards achieving their ambitious tree-planting goal, Jabatan Perhutanan (forestry department) recently organized a momentous event on the 22nd of April at HSK Pasir Gebu in Teluk Malas, Penaga. The focal point of this event was the planting of 200 “Pokok Api Api” (Acanthaceae trees), a diverse and ecologically valuable plant family, known for their ornamental beauty and environmental benefits.
This symbolic tree-planting ceremony was graced by the Director of Jabatan Perhutanan Penang

the importance of preserving and restoring our natural habitats. The presence of the director
underscored the department's unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and

Jabatan Perhutanan's commitment to planting trees and preserving nature serves as a beacon of hope and a shining example of proactive environmental stewardship.
In the beginning of the the ecochallenge 2024 was very challenging to do away with single use plastic wares, be it cup or bags. Need constant reminder of myself. As I progress on, the effort has become a habit. Though from time to time, will still need to remind myself. Still a work in progress! :)
