Some Photos From Another Outstation Trip In May

Underbrushing and felling of the small trees (done by humans with parangs and chainsaws) to clear the land for oil palm development ...


... hilly terrain required terracing (done by excavators).


I didn't know that Sime Tyres had one called "centipede"!


A main road and bridge being constructed by JKR. The steepness was not exaggerated by the camera angle! There was another bridge (bigger one) being constructed on the other side of that hill.


The steep climb on this side after the bridge in the photo above. I wondered if it is more economical (long term) to just build a elevated bridge across the whole thing? Long term costs to include repairs from landslides and wear and tear on all the vehicles using this road.
