PETALING JAYA: Businessman Danish Abdullah, 29, had been preparing to fly with his family from Kota Baru to Kuala Lumpur this Sunday – but he was in for a shock. His airport transfer driver called to say that MYAirline had suspended its operations, leaving Danish and his four family members scrambling for other transport.

We met Prof Dr Mokhtar during a recent media visit to Gunung Jerai, where he talked in length about the important archaeological discoveries in the state, which also includes Sungai Batu and Lembah Bujang. “The rock was a sedimentation of mud, clay and sand under the sea before the magma petrified it and lifted it up, rising to its current height,” Prof Dr Mokhtar explained.
Prof Dr Mokhtar said while the reason for choosing the site was not recorded, the spacious public space was a favourable spot with traders. “The open area is cooling as it’s surrounded by lush forests,” he added. “Today, it’s still functional and people come here to perform their ablutions before prayers,” Prof Dr Mokhtar said.Batu Kapal is a boulder, which resembles a capsized ship. As the 2m tall rock bears a similar appearance to an overturned boat, rumour has it that the rock was cursed.Although there is a myth surrounding this boulder, Prof Dr Mokhtar said that from a geological perspective, it is actually a piece of quartzite, or hardened sandstone.
The river also provides a habitat for various winged residents, mostly migratory birds, such as storks, egrets and kingfishers. If you are lucky, you may just be able to see them flying gracefully in the sky.
