A pitcher plant in the heart of city
Kota Kinabalu: Stunned by a pitcher plant encounter in the heart of urban capital city, an excited Daily Express reader Gabriel Chang decided to go public about his "first in my life" experience. The place? Damai Forest, he said.

"I was walking towards deeper into the 'rainforest' path where monitor lizards roam.

All of a sudden I saw a small baby pitcher plant for the first time in my life ," Chang exclaimed.

"I thought it is supposed to grow in Danum Valley or other forest reserves far from town but my goodness, it is here, among them include a green lizard.

They are over here – wild flowers too, many other song birds like the tailorbird, chestnut munia sparrow and magpie robin.

This is so interesting when I saw so many different types of plants and trees that I decided to put it up in the Daily Express," Chang said in his email.

More than that, Chang said : "I hope the Government and private companies would preserve this little forested area which I think is quite big, not wanting any building development that would take over the land right here, because there is already too much housing area, causing temperature to become hotter and hotter," Chang said.

"I have also included a google map of the large forest size area which could be kept as a forested reserve," Chang said.
