150 millions years old Rainforest
 
Malaysia’s forest are indisputably the oldest in the world and its National Parks are treasure troves of its rich natural heritage. The various species of flora and fauna found within its realms can only be described in superlatives , the world largest flower (Rafflesia). The smallest squirrel (Pygmy squirrel) weighing a mere 20gm, gigantic flying squirrels and the tallest trees (Tualang or Koompassia excelsa) are all to be found here. The Belian (Borneo ironwood) is said to be thousands of years old. It is with a view to preserving this invaluable natural heritage for posterity that the National Parks were established, some as early as the first half of this century.

That is some really old wood. Rainforest is a word invented by the environmentalist and not 150 million years old. No Advertising
