Raft & Rail at Bukit Merah Lake

On our 'makeshift' raft, ready for a race

During a USM 'PIMPIN' (Leadership) programme sometime in 2003, we were stationed at the Bukit Merah Laketown Resort. One of the trials we had to endure was to co-operate in building a raft, float it on the lake and ride it against other groups in a race to ensure the raft stayed in one piece!

By the way, the Bukit Merah Lake has our KTM railroad passing through it. I recall the numerous times in the 1960's during school term breaks, when we traversed the lake during our rail journeys from Seremban/KL to Butterworth/Pulau Pinang and vice versa. No wonder the trains were going ever so slowly along this narrow ridge with scenic views of Bukit Merah Lake on both sides. A bit scary when you really think about it!
