Bukit Larut is located 1250 m above sea level and 10 km from Taiping, Perak. Founded

in 1884, it is the oldest hill resort in the country. Besides that, it is also the wettest place in the

country because it receives the highest rainfall.

The hill resort was formerly known as Maxwell Hill. It was named after William

George Maxwell who was the British Assistant Resident in Perak at that time. He felt that the

beautiful views overlooking Taiping town as well as its cool surroundings made the hill a perfect

getaway for European planters to escape the humid surroundings in their plantations. Therefore,

several bungalows were built. Back then, one could get up the hill on foot or be carried on a

sedan chair by porters.

These days, people are allowed to walk up the hill. However, it will take between

three to five hours to reach the peak. No private vehicles are allowed. Only government-owned

Land Rovers are permitted to take visitors up. The service runs every hour from 8 am to 5 pm.

The 13-km journey takes 30 minutes and a return trip is RM6 for an adult. Seats are limited

during weekends and public holidays, so call the Bukit Larut Recreation Office to book in

advance.

Bukit Larut still has its original colonial bungalows and English gardens. These

bungalows are available for rent but provide only basic accommodation. Visitors can also go

hiking, do some bird-watching and enjoy its panoramic views and cool weather.

The Kind Tree

Once, a little boy loved to play around a huge apple tree every day. He would climb
to the treetop, eat the apples and take a nap under the tree. Soon the little boy grew up and
he no longer played around the tree every day.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and the tree asked him to come and play.
The boy replied that he preferred toys and needed money to buy toys. The tree said the boy
could pick all its apples and sell them. The boy excitedly grabbed all the apples. He never
came back and the tree was sad.

When the boy became a man, he returned to the tree. The tree again asked him to
come and play. This time the man said that he did not have time to play because he had to
build a shelter for his family. The tree offered its branches to build a house. So the man cut
all the branches of the tree and left happily. Again, the man did not return and the tree was
again feeling lonely and sad.

After a long time, the man returned. The tree again invited him to play but the man
said he was getting old. He said he wanted a boat to go sailing to relax himself. The tree
kindly offered its trunk to build his boat. So, the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He
went sailing and didn't show up for a long time.

Finally, the man returned again. The tree apologized and said that it did not have
anything left for the man, except for its dying roots. The man said he just needed a place to
rest. The tree happily welcomed him to lean and rest on the roots.

in ir life. A truly ideal friend makes life more enjoyable and pleasant. A friend doubles your
joy and halves your sorrows. But what qualities exactly do we need to look for in an ideal
friend?

you chin up even when everyone else is against you. Being with a caring friend feels like
having weight off your shoulders. You can comfortably be yourself and speak your mind.
Having a friend who can just sit and listen, is one of the best friends to have. As an
ideal friend, he notices how little, day-to-day things affect you. 36. An ideal friend
never leave us alone whenever we need a help of them.
Apart from that, an ideal friend should be an honest person. It is one of the keys to a
healthy friendship. 37. He speaks painful truth through loving and kind words for our

whatever you decide, your friend accepts. When you make any decision that is different from
him, he doesn't judge. 39. Your friend supports your individual interests, even if they
