		As there are neither human settlements nor other man-created activities within the headwaters and the Park area the waters are pristine and unpolluted although in certain places they could be quite tan in color and tangy in aroma due to the composition of the top soil and surrounding type of vegetation which is mainly peat.
		People from Tawau too should take advantage of the close proximity to spend their weekends to repair their frayed and frazzled nerves from the pressures of work.

		TAWAU- A shipping monopoly and thieves who dispose of their palm kernels to dealers at lesser prices are not making the situation of Sabah’s oil palm smallholders any easier.
		The bumper crop saw a sudden 30 per cent jump in kernel harvest from September to October fuelled by some new output capacity from at least 200,000 extra hectares over the last three years.
		It’s no surprise that a vast expanse of Sabah’s lands had been cleared for this mono crop amounting to one 900,000 to a million hectres which is contributing to between 25 to 30 per cent of the national palm oil output.
