Certain birds in the KL bird Park like the owls as shown in the picture above are being kept in the cage. I think it's for their own good and for the other birds.

Drop By at Petaling Street Whenever You're in KL
Situated at the middle of Kuala Lumpur (KL). Petaling Street or Jalan Petaling is also being called China Town. It is about 5 minutes walking from The Central market. Here, in Petaling Street you can buy watches, shirts, DVD's and many more. Most of them are imitations. Try to bargain at least half of the price being offered. If the seller agrees with your price don't ever cancel the purchased as he will feel intimidated. If you want to bargain just make sure you really want that products. Whenever you're in KL just drop by at Petaling Street for a short visit.

Tale of Two Brothers - Tuah and Jebat

It was a long time ago around 15th century in the city Malacca. It was before the arrival and domination of Portugal upon the city. This was a story of 5 sworn brothers namely Tuah, Jebat, Lekir, Kasturi and Lekiu. Possessed high level of martial art skill and bravery. They succeeded in becoming 'pendekar' (similar to a knight) to serve the sultan (king). Among them Tuah was the most successfull. he was chosed to be the first Laksamana (admiral) of Malacca.
His success created enemies who envied him. He was then being framed for having an illicit affairs with one of the sultan's concubine. He was sentenced to death with no trial being conducted. Bendahara (chief minister) who he was very closed with carried out the sentence.
Later, his childhood friends, Jebat rebel and took over the palace in order to avenge his unjusticed death. The other brother tried to persuaded him but failed. The sultan who had run to a safer place sent many of his best warriors to challenge Jebat but they were either being killed and seriously injured.

The 'Bendahara' told the sultan that he had hidden Tuah far away from the city. The sultan after hearing this instructed the bendahara to bring back Hang Tuah to him. The sultan then instructed Tuah to kill Jebat. Tuah confronted Jebat in the palace and they fought for several days. At the end Jebat was killed by Tuah. The story was a tragedy.
One believe that he was doing the right thing in avenging his brother's death and the other one believe that one must pledge his loyalty to the ruler (the sultan). Who was right between them has been argued until today.
