It all began on a bright and peaceful morning. The sky stretched wide in blue above us, the air crisp with freshness. As we entered Eco SD Guthrie, we felt like we were stepping into a calm, green sanctuary—where every leaf, every path, and every building had a story to tell. 🌳🌤️
🏛️ First Stop: Golden Hope Academy
Our journey started at the beautiful Golden Hope Academy, a colonial-style building standing tall with its white pillars and iconic red roof. Surrounded by nature, it felt timeless—a place dedicated to sustainability, education, and community. It was the perfect gateway into the heart of Guthrie’s eco mission.
📚🌴 Palm Oil Awareness Session: Changing Perspectives
Next, we attended an engaging and eye-opening Palm Oil Awareness Session, organized by the passionate team at Eco SD Guthrie.
Here, we learned the truth behind palm oil—often misunderstood but incredibly vital when produced responsibly. We discovered that:
- Palm oil contributes to only 2.3% of global deforestation,
- It’s cholesterol-free, trans-fat-free, and rich in vitamin E & antioxidants,
- It’s found in everyday products—from cooking oil and cosmetics to candles and biodiesel.
The session also emphasized the role of sustainable palm oil in protecting biodiversity and supporting local communities. It was informative, inspiring, and completely changed how we see this versatile oil. 🌱✨
He held up a fresh oil palm fruit, cut it open in front of us, and revealed its vibrant orange flesh and hard kernel inside. 🧡🌰
🏺 A Walk Through Time: The Museum Visit
Our next destination was the museum located within the estate, and it was like stepping back in time.
Inside, we explored the rich history of the palm oil industry, the legacy of Guthrie, and Malaysia’s journey in sustainable agriculture. The exhibits included old tools, photographs, plantation records, and stories from workers who shaped the land’s legacy.
🖼️ It was more than just a museum—it was a reminder of how the past, present, and future are all connected through responsible land stewardship.
🏡🎬 The Famous Bungalows of “Blood Brothers”
As we walked further into the estate, we passed rows of elegant eco bungalows, each surrounded by lush greenery, flowering shrubs, and serene paths.
And here came the cinematic twist… 🎥
✨ Some of these bungalows were actually featured in the hit local drama Blood Brothers!
For fans of the series, it was surreal. You could recognize the doorways, the verandas, even the corners where key dramatic scenes took place. It felt like walking through a living movie set.
