Tools of the trade, but most notable the 21″ Sven Saw!

A big shout out to Sven Saw for their contribution to the Trails Association of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor (TRAKS)! After years of use and abuse, and numerous gifts of these tools by your committee to trail fairies, we received two complimentary saws from Sven. Thanks Jon and team!

If you are ever in need of a great tool for doing work on our trails, you can find them here: Sven Saw

Alternatively, you can buy them at REI where the two companies have had a long history together. You can find the great read here: REI/ Sven History

Again, many thanks to Sven for their contribution to our work in Malaysia.

Kind regards,

All hail Megat, TRAKS' President! But thanks as well to Juliet Jacobs and BFM Radio - The Business Station for inviting him to speak. We have often said that awareness drives change, and by politely reminding people via the radio, social media, news papers and more is an oblique method. Having seen similar things effect change in Malaysia over the past three decades, we are ecstatic to see the same approach being applied to our parks like Kiara.

History repeats itself. JLN and their contractors have gone back in and laid aggregate (gravel) on Upper Short leading all the way to Lookout. A couple of JLN personnel, the foreman and a lorry were seen there yesterday. Going back on this trail today ... voila ... lovely scene that was encountered.

While we have subsequently heard that JLN, and strangely “JKR”, are doing rectification work in Kiara, once again this action has polluted Sungai Runs Through which “was” a Grade 1 river (you could drink from it upstream). No longer. Also, JLN didn’t engage stakeholders of Kiara in advance. As all would have said, there is no need to dump all this aggregate to conduct any remedial work. Completely unnecessary. Well done folks.
