After Temoh it was a visit to Phillip Leong at Chenderiang another 10km away. From the main road Phillips home is heavily camouflaged by jungle.
Once you enter his driveway you wonder if you have made the correct turn. Then you
see his wooden ‘resort’ home and see Phillip waving and realise you have
arrived. You walk through his walkway over a small bridge above a stream and
that’s his home. Built on stilts the house is open and airy. Ignatius mentioned
there was no mosquitos and Phillip answered he had planted mosquito repelling
plants all around the house.
In 2017 when Ignatius was trying to locate the entrance of his
grandfathers cave mine of Gua Puncak, Gunang Lanno he approached Phillip who
was a President of the Malaysian Karst Society. Phillip took us to the location of the entrance which was a working quarry. Unfortunately the entrance was
quarried and the entrance had been permanently sealed.
