Menoa Kitai............

I went back to my kampung quite recently and i noticed there is a few changes occurred to that area. A few logging site also taking place in a new area and new oil palm plantation has been started. To reach there, we have to go up river by express boat which is only cost you about RM18.00 per ride and its took about 2 hours ride. My last visit to Binyo was in 2003. I will attach a few picture on what is going on around my village for the time being.

As i remember, it is sad to think when you are going back to the longhouse, you will found out almost every household is no occupant. Most of the younger generation is working in town. Only 30- 40% of the household is occupied by the older generation.

1. This is my longhouse!!!!


2. Binyo primary school and Tadika.




3. Secondary forest that has been logged.






The forest has been cut and clear. The loggers left behind all the railing which they used to pulled out the log. These land here is where i used to do my botanizing and looked for my annonaceae and wild ginger but it seems i have to find somewhere else in future.
