TAMAN TASIK MANJALARA SURVEY

In this blog we shall post findings on Rest Areas, Wakaf, Benches, Trees, Flower & Nature Preservation


1.     REST AREAS / WAKAF / BENCHES
Comment on Existing Condition
Generally acceptable
Suggestions for Improvement
5.1 Construct more benches at mid-way along the steep slopes (esp Steep Track 1) for those in need of rest
5.2 Construct more NEW benches around the top of the waterfall, presently people sit on the boulders to enjoy the lake view  

2.     TREES / FLOWER / NATURE PRESERVATION
Comment on Existing Condition
Sad to note more & more trees decayed or uprooted by weather resulting a barren, neglected outlook and it has been a long while DBKL had stopped planting flowers in the Park
The plot next to the reservoir has been ‘hijacked’ by resident to plant cash crop, otherwise that area is badly maintained with thick undergrowth although a good sanctuary for wildlife it also allows breeding of snakes
Beyond the wall at the hill top, lallang are growing uncontrolled, if no action is taken to stop it, very soon the hilltop might turn into lallang patch too.
Suggestions for Improvement
6.1 It is noted DBKL is replanting trees from a seedling stage presumably for better grip in due course, but that should be done more widely.
6.2 DBKL should allocate funds for replenishment of flowers or plant hardy flowers around the Park
6.3 DBKL should consider taking action against encroachment and then develop that plot of land for more tracks for the adventurous.
In the next final section of the survey, we shall list findings on Diasbled Friendliness, Pond, Water Creatures, Wildlife
