Editor's note
It has been three months since 2008 left us. The Touche’s editorial board wishes to convey our humble apologies for
the delay of our 2009’s 1st Edition.
Things happen for a reason yet we are not going to look back. This is a moment to move on. As for such, we are
coming out with our Super-liking Issue, and yes, it is a combination of both the 1st and the 2nd Quarter of 2009.
We will talk about what have we been doing for the past six months and what are we going to do for the next six
months to come.
We are going to alert our valued Members on the best holiday destinations. We are going to emphasize on the
suitable traveling dates. We are definitely going to promote our holiday partners through our Friends of Tanco.
We are going to spread the news about our Members’ Nite 2009. We are going to go a step further with our Charity
Drive. We are going to sweat our Members to a healthy physique. We are going to make our members glowingly
beautiful. Pamper your soul and you’ll be pampered accordingly.

Cover Story
Sources: www.klbirdpark.com
The KL Bird Park was set up in 1991 and was
officially opened by The DYMM Raja Permaisuri
Agong, Tuanku Bainun.
Located in the serene and scenic Kuala Lumpur
Lake Gardens, it is only 10 minutes drive away
from the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. It is the
home to more than 2,000 birds of approximately
200 species of local and foreign birds.
Sprawling approximately 20.9 acres of verdant
valley terrain, the park is divided into 4 zones;
Zone 1 and 2 make up the free-flight zone; Zone
3 is the Hornbill Park and Zone 4 is where the
birds are placed in separate cages and mini
aviaries.
03
One of KL Bird Park's most extraordinary feature
is that in Zone 1, 2 and 3, birds are let free in the
aviary which closely resembles their natural
habitat. With this free-flight concept, birds are
able to breed naturally in this unique
environment.
Touche Magazine | 1st & 2nd Edition 2009
Cover Story
Visitors will have an exciting experience of watching
colourful and melodic birds perching and winging about
freely while relaxing in a natural and beautifully landscaped
surrounding. KL Bird Park is also reputed to be the largest
walk-in free-flight aviary in the world.
Experience the ambience of lush green tropical rainforest
once you step into our free-flight walk-in aviary.
Reputed to be one of the largest in the world, this free-flight
walk-in aviary, comprising of Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the
park, is the home to more than 60 species of local and
foreign birds, flying freely and living together in harmony
and balance, creating a unique ecosystem of its own in this
semi-natural environment.
Be amazed by the courtship display of the
Indian Blue Peacock with its magnificent,
colourful, 5-feet train.

CAMERON HIGHLAND
Rest & Relax....
Towns of Cameron Highlands
Source : www.cameronhighland.com.my
Amidst the greenery and serene farms and nurseries are three main townships that outline the landscape of
Cameron Highlands known as Brinchang, Ringlet and the Tanah Rata. Coming up from Tapah, it will be
about an hour's drive away where you will be welcomed by the town of Ringlet. The preceding towns of
Tanah Rata and Brinchang are most vibrant. From Ringlet, the next town Tanah Rata is about 13 kilometers
away while 3 kilometers further from Tanah Rata is where you will reach Brinchang.
Ringlet
is renowned for its commercial and
trading activities in Cameron Highland. The town is
a small and sleepy town which is more peaceful as
compared to the other two. Even if that is so, Ringlet
houses its own attractions although that is very
much limited.
The small town, elevated about 1,200 meters is
typically warmer than the other two towns. There are
a few rows of shops in Ringlet, which closes at night
fall and some other shops around here like a petrol
station(Petronas and Shell), some food outlets and
convenience stores. Essentially, tourists do not stay
around here as it is quite far away from the
attractions further up the highlands.
09
Since it is located about 13 kilometers from the next
town of Tanah Rata, you will have to take either a
taxi or a bus to get there, where the activities
congregate. To say the least, Ringlet is a typical
residential town just like any Malaysian town and is a
great place for a short driving rest or just for a short
break. Ringlet houses some vegetable and fruit
farms, which are the main produce here.
A further drive up the highlands will get you to Tanah
Rata. The administrative town houses more offices
and is a more commercial center compared to
Ringlet. The District Council's office is located here
together with a post office, the general hospital and
some local government offices as well.

Travel Showcase
Tanah Rata
is where most visitors are likely to stay as it has a variety of accommodation options here. Families tend to come
here and rent an apartment where they can cook and have gatherings. Tanah Rata is also the main transport depot
of Cameron Highlands. This means that if you are coming by bus or taxi, it will stop at the main bus station which is
also where you will board when you leave the highlands. Tanah Rata is also known to be one of the most tourist
friendly areas in Cameron Highlands.
There are souvenir shops, banks and eateries, all at arm's length.
For the adventurous, head out to the jungle tracks that goes to the
Robinson Waterfalls. Travel agents, budget hotels and money
changers are abundantly scattered here to cater for tourists who
come here. Tanah Rata is often the starting point if you want to
visit the nearby strawberry, tea or flower farms. Day trips can be
arranged from here.
Brinchang
The next town is perhaps the biggest among the three, which is the main attraction in Cameron Highlands. To a
certain extent, food might cost slightly more as the town is known for its eateries.
Brinchang is busier and exudes a more commercial atmosphere most
probably because it is the connection point to the nearby farms and
plantation. Located about 3 kilometers from Tanah Rata, Brinchang too has
a lot of accommodations options like hotels, chalets and apartments,
including Rosa Passedana one of our FOT.

Member’s rate from RM100.00 onwards
ROSA PASSADENA is the name of a rose. The Hotel is named after the rose in conjunction with the
declaration of the Cameron Highlands as the Town of Roses on the 2nd October 1989 by the Deputy
Minister of Housing and Local Government.
Located in the heart of Brinchang town, nestled in a newly developed area. Our Hotel has a total of 120
rooms with Penthouse Suites, fully furnished with colour TV, inhouse music / video movies, mini-bar, EL
safe deposit box and IDD telephone in Superior, Deluxe Rooms and Suites.
Basically the two towns in Cameron Highlands are similar in terms of pricing and types of
accommodation as they are very near to each other with similar facilities. Once in the town, you will be
faced with common city happenings like a vibrant night life, busy traffics and eateries alike.
Apart from the typical coffee shops that serve all types of cuisine ranging from seafood to steamboat to
local delicacies, there are also fast food chains like KFC. Marrybrown and kopitiam cafes. You should
check out the Cameron night market (Pasar Malam) here where you will are able to get fresh Cameron
grown vegetables and flower produce from the abundantly available plantations in Cameron. Local
Cameron Highlands craft and clothing are also available, otherwise take the opportunity to try the local
delicacies here.
