Preventing Wild Boar Damage in Oil Palm Plantings - Updated

Sometimes the wild boars are aggressive especially the big ones. They  even push over zinc wrappings. 

An extra preventive step is to stack oil palm fronds around  the  zinc wrappings. This reduces the high incidence of attacks.

                                                          

                                         

 FAREWELL TO STANDARD CHARTERED BANK - TAIPING 

       The curtain comes down after 130 years.

     The Bank then known as The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China opened one of its earliest branches in Malaya in Taiping in 1889. Initially it occupied the building which is now the Merdeka Library, Taiping. This building which features Victorian architecture was constructed in 1882.

   The name of the bank was changed  to Standard Chartered Bank and moved to the ground floor of Bangunan Malaysia built in 1964.This building also happens to be the first 5 storey building in Taiping.

  The final move in 2004 was to the ground floor of a 3 storey shop lot along Market Road.
