Visit Malaysia Year Haiku - Taman Negara (State Of Pahang) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

taman negara
trees with bigger roots than the Angkor's
take hold of my mind

or

taman negera
a tree bigger than the angkor's
hovers over my mind

taman negara sojourn
the wild pigs too are out
for a walk

Next year - 2007 - is Visit Malaysia Year, the best time to visit the country which brands itself as Truly Asia. Everything from the littlest street to the most flashy restaurants and tourist destinations gear up to welcome tourists for the Visit Malaysia Year with its tagline Malaysia Welcomes The World.

TAMAN NEGARA

Taman Negara in the Malaysian Pahang State
is the oldest rainforest in the world. In a forest trek,
this writer saw a tree with giant trunks and roots
larger than those he saw at Cambodia's Angkor temples.
