BAKAS – Water Treatment Plant
Flow of the process will be update soon!(The officer yet to send us the picture)
Photo album below was taken at Puncak Jerning, an alternative water supply for Northern region. However, it was now closed due to leptospirosis. Due to the rainy day, we were unable to visit the Anti-gravity feed as the muddy road was slippery.

Day 8 - BAKAS
Life is unpredictable! When you feel your life is bountiful, something will just come over you and and draw a fine line on your prince or princess diary. And a small flaw causes a big sense of alienation. As we thought we’ll have a nice day visit here and there for water sampling, anti gravity fall, etc via BAKAS, everything just ruined up with a word – BUSY! Duh, work is still priority after all, and PPKPK Mohd Zin had promise to compensate that tomorrow, so just tilt our head and flex our facial muscles!
We did water sampling at 3 places, which were Kampung Saujana, Durian Burung and Pedu.
The album above showed some of water sampling test on Chloride, Nitrates, etc.
Air Bawah Tanah 80m by Kementerian Kesihatan and the right pic showed how they sterilized the pail by burning the cotton swab with spirit.
Dissolved Oxygen Meter
Direct Reading Spectrophotometer
Conductivity and Dissolved Solute meter
pH meter
Turbidimeter
Coliform test(result in 24 hrs time)
Fluoride Test with reagent
Cleaned the apparatus with distilled water.
Guess you’ll never know the water that come and go easily by twisting a hose involved such complicated procedures to make sure it’s save for drinking purpose. So, water is our life, do not waste it!

Day 7 – Food Quality Control II & NCDC
A whole new world, A new fantastic point of view! Before we were here, our impression on Padang Terap was a rural area, peaceful and standard of living should be lower compared to Sg. Petani, Penang & KL. But, we were wrong. The food and goods here were much more expensive than the price in SP & Penang. The cheapest fried noodles costs RM3.50. It’s CHEAPEST! As we’ll be having Food Quality Control posting today, we were really would like to know if the price we paid for equivalent to the quality they served.
We were welcomed by PPKP Pergas A/L Retnam in Food Quality Control unit.
First, he explained what’s the unit about and described the table written on the whiteboard. It was actually about the sample taken during monthly operation.
Then, he discussed about the microbiology and chemistry kits that were used during food sampling, items brought back for analysis,
Then, we went to Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Padang Terap and be an amateur.
Next, we went to the stall right opposite to the school to evaluate them. The stall got 94 out of 100. Bravo!
In the afternoon, we finished off the NCDC as the officer was finally free for us. Nothing much, as Padang Terap stress more on Smoking.
As KPAS will be busy these few days, thus they decided to give us the talk today as well. Sigh~
