Bukit Laur Triangulation station |
Bukit
Laur is located at Kampong Subok and is very close to Bukit Marakucing.
Before
we start our hiking or climb, we were brief by one of the “kejiranan kampong
subok” member. There are 4 hills to climb and the peak is 632 metres from sea
level. We were told that from the hills we would be able to see the Ministry of
Finance (MOF) building. Few of the "kejiranan kampong subok" members join
us and become our tour guides. Some of them were also already at the hills to
put up the markers and were waiting for us.
it took
us around 40 minutes to reach the 4th hill. We can see MOF and DST HQ buildings, National Stadium, Parliment House,
Istana Nurul Iman, Temburong, Limbang and also I was told Mt. Kinabalu (although
I didn’t really see it this morning).

There
is a Bukit Laur triangulation station at the 4th hill. something like it is use by the survey department for land
measurement.
Overall
the trip was fun and enjoyable. I would love to join the group again for other
outings. Here's one of the video I took from the hill.
