Colin Charles: Yah, some of them were very talkative. Some chatted about their lives for more than an hour. I don't know if any of it was documented though. kevin: As replied further down by Ronan, the Mangrove logging is well controlled an renewable. Mellissa: Hahaha yah. KY: Trust you! Myhorng: Well I picked my nose and it came out black, so I'm sure you can guess. Edi神: Thanks! Joey Logano: Yah solid right? Pretty impressive. Ronan: Thanks for the comment and explanation, have corrected the name.

Hi all,believe it or not,i'm the owner(mr.chuah)'s son....
Kevin,
dont worry,we need license to do mangrove logging n Malaysia government has been doing a god job by replanting the trees(mangrove).the trees can only be only be cut dwn when it reaches 20~30 years of age.so if we do not control it,we would hv run out of supplies long time ago.other than this our government has a huge hectors of protected mangrove forest that no logging activity is permited at all...

***pls note that the man in the pic above is not Mr.Chuah,he is Mr.Tan(my dad best helper)

i wonder where they get their supply of mangroves. honestly speaking, the coal industry should be checked in a way.

perhaps gazette the mangroves to avoid over logging?
