Senior Citizens Club Activities

Cameron Highlands Nature Tour 金马仑高原自然之旅

A total of 31 participants have joined the 2 day 1 night nature tour to the Cameron Highlands organized by the Senior Citizen Club and Recycling Sub-Committee on 5th and 6th December 2009.
共有三十一人参加在2009年12月5日到6日,由乐龄团体筹办的两天一夜的金马仑高原自然之旅。

The following places were visited during the trip 他们参观了以下的景点 :
Honey Bee Farm     Strawberry Farm     Cactus Valley    
Butterfly Garden     Organic Vegetable Farm     Tea Plantation
Brinchang Night Market     Late Iskandar Waterfalls

Of all the above, the guided tour to the organic vegetable farm was most educational. Knowledge and understanding were enhanced with briefings given by the farm owner Mr Lee on the process of decomposing the various waste materials into fertilizer and enzyme used for the farm. The participants were encouraged to inculcate the habit of recycling with an aim to improve the environment. They also enjoyed a scrumptious organic steamboat dinner under the cold weather up in the highland.
在这些景点中,有机农场是最具教育性。园主深入浅云的解说利用废料制成肥料,让团员受益不浅。他们也在农场中享用有机火锅晚餐。


Senior Citizens Medical check-Up 乐龄人士医疗检查

Forty five senior residents of TMJ participated in a free medical check-up held at the Balai on the 5th October 2009 from 9am to 3pm. It was conducted with the courtesy of the National Kidney Foundation. Participants were able to measure their blood pressure level, blood sugar level, cholesterol level and basal metabolic rate. They were also given advice related to health and nutrition by the Foundation's staff. After the check-up, many participants had gained a better picture of their health and were seen either making resolutions to adopt certain dietary habits or dropping them altogether.
四十五名乐龄居民参加了於2009年10月5日举行的免费医疗检查。这项由国家肾脏中心支助的医疗检查让乐龄居民检查血压,血糖,胆固醇及新陈代谢水平。他们也获取许多有关健康及营养的意见。
