Taman Rimba Kiara is a little green gem located in a corner of the TTDI residential area. The above flowering tree, the firmiana malayana or mata lembu, flashes in testimony to man's care-less-ness - it's one of only two trees in the park that had flowered, since then the tree had been chopped down.

A white-eye hope

Archived image 

The Hume's White-eyes (Zosterops auriventer) (known as Everett's White-eye once upon a time) can safely be counted as one of the resident birds of the bukit as they are regularly seen either singly or in a small number and normally in a bird wave.  These birds normally too would keep to the upper canopy, moving continuously and then vanish before you can catch your second breath.   With increasing sighting, it is hoped there is a healthy population here.

I seek comfort in your presence.
