They are always interesting with a little bit more of background on the area I have visited. Now I know there is a possibility to CH from Pos Betau, though I suppose it is going to be extremely hard. Major Gan? Okay, the next time around if I go for a visit, I will ask for you :) Hey ForestGump…I always look forward to your comments.

]]> Comment on Kayak at Batu Dam, Selangor with our Perception Swings by Keong http://www.my-rainforest-adventures.com/2009/07/kayak-at-batu-dam-selangor-with-our-perception-swings/#comment-781 Keong Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:12:12 +0000 http://www.my-rainforest-adventures.com/?p=906#comment-781 Hi En Halim! Thank you so much for your comment on our blogsite. Yes, yo are right, there are signs warning people to stay off the waters at the main entrance. During my recent visit, I was even required to 'sign-in' at the gate to enter the area. However, when we go paddling, we enter via the Sg Batu road...at one of the rest stops with carparks. Many people can be seen fishing from there, some camping too. I am not sure but perhaps the authorities were more 'concerned' about outsiders getting too close to the 'dam' area where the actual water pumping etc are located (for safety risks obviously). Thanks for putting in a note on this. We appreciate any feedback like this as they are helpful to other readers. Hi En Halim!

Quite a number of OPs were found, food dumps uncovered and a variety of signalling and traps dismantled in the 80s too... There's also a small salt lick with sulphuric smell abound too. Used to be tiger country those days as the areas were cordoned off and curfew imposed and hence wildlife was literally protected. I believe Templar Park is an island now surrounded by development from all sides... what a shame!

Wonder what happened to my dear good friend Major Gan of the Army Intel?

There's a 'Kawasan Larangan' sign at the entrance gate. Hi,
I believe your statement “This dam is open to the public…” is not quite true because its a fenced area and the gates are locked. There’s a ‘Kawasan Larangan’ sign at the entrance gate.
