OC Kuantan Faculty & Students Visits Taman Pertanian

Recently, the lecturers and students of OC Kuantan visited Taman Pertanian, an agricultural and horticultural park. The trip was organized by Ms Khor Hui Liang, the DIT Coordinator.  The group went to Taman Pertanian to appreciate the agricultural development in the state of Pahang.

A tour guide welcomed them and the entourage had an internal tour around Taman Pertanian by train.  The tour guide introduced the name of variety of agricultural plants.

The group found many varieties of local plants, flowers and trees which are found in Pahang and Malaysia. With the plants and trees tagged with their usual name as well as their scientific name, it makes for an enjoyable stroll while being educated on plants and trees.

Besides browsing and identifying them, you can also buy flowers and potted plants to take back and beautify your home.

Mr Sundar, the Principal of Kuantan said “Overall it was an enriching educational tour, and we got to know the beautiful plants, flowers and trees and this trip really relaxes the mind in the surroundings of green trees and foliage, within an oxygen filled tropical forest environment.”

“Taman Pertanian is really an appropriate and suitable place to learn, identify and recognise various species of jungle and tropical fruit trees that are found extensively in the forests of Pahang and Malaysia” he added.

The final activity was fruit tasting session and the group had a fantastic time savouring the local fruits such as mangosteen, rambutan etc.
