Raintree

With development all around it, this 100 year old majestic and regal raintree may be feeling a little apprehensive about its future.

Miri has lots of raintrees probably planted when Miri was first founded about a hundred years ago. Later as more roads were built this species continue to find favour with the authorities.

Called Pukul Lima by the Malays the leaves droop at five. So office workers cannot miss their time going home to their love ones. Just look at the raintree's drooping leaves - time to go home.
