PEKAN: Tasik Chini, home to a mythical monster lurking beneath its waters, may no longer be a popular tourist destination as it was a few years ago, but it still retains a certain allure.
Located about 70km from here, Tasik Chini is the second largest natural lake in Malaysia. It was once known as a floating garden with thousands of white and pink lotus flowers covering its surface. Unfortunately, pollution caused by uncontrolled logging, mining and farming activities has destroyed this natural beauty.
