POKOK PENAGA

Today, I took a drive to Putra Jaya to Taman Botani, or popularly known in English as Putra Jaya Botanical Garden. The main mission is the ride the bicycle. My daughter loves to ride, by riding on the road is dangerous. The infamous Malaysian are known for bad driving habits. A normal friendly people turns to driving monster when they are on the wheel.

The mission failed. There was just too many people and there are no more bicycles. However, I manage to snap a few photographs of the trees in the garden. One of them is pokok penaga.
