LIKE walking into an oasis within an oasis, Penang Hill boasts of bypaths with myriad plants and trees that feel almost like a scene out of a fairy tale. A stroll along the 400m Bamboo Walk will leave one gasping in awe to see a tree with its gnarly roots exposed, taking one back to the scary trees scene in the Disney movie, Snow White. Upon learning further from Nature [email protected] Hill team director KP Ong, the leaves of this tree – Simpoh Gajah (Dillenia Reticulata King) – are used in Indonesia to pack meals as they keep the food fresh. The walkway boasts of a variety of bamboo plants and medicinal herbs, making it not only pleasing to the eye but educational. At Heliconia and Ginger Walk, the 450m path boasts a variety of colourful plants such as the Brazilian Red cloak and Red Ginger (Alpinia purpurata) which are part of the ginger family.

I wanted to share with you an example of how the best of small-town values, beliefs and behaviours still exist in Georgetown, even during difficult times. I know this first hand because recently my mentally-challenged older brother went to walk our dog like he has done a thousand times over the years without incident. However, on this particular walk he mistakenly took a wrong turn and deviated from his usual path. He quickly ended up a few streets from home and was unable to get his bearings and find his way home. I was surprised when I answered my door to meet Pat, a lovely woman, who relayed to me how she had approached my brother to offer assistance after noticing he appeared lost.
