A close encounter with the orang utan at Semenggoh


NORWAY’s Ambassador to Malaysia Arild Braastad and his wife Nina got up close and personal with orang utans at the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre near Kuching recently.

The couple, who were on a two-day visit to Sarawak, got to see the rare animals swinging from tree and tree during feeding time at the centre.

They were also briefed on the orang utan conservation programme at the centre by manager Jen Sangi.

”To be able to see the orang utan eating and swinging from the trees is really fantastic.

”We have never seen these animals before so this is really a rare experience for us,” he said.
