The Tembusu (Fagraea fragrans) is a large evergreen tree in the family Gentianaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia. Its trunk is dark brown, with deeply fissured bark, looking somewhat like a bittergourd. It grows in an irregular shape from 10 to 25m high. Its leaves are light green and oval in shape. Its yellowish flowers have a distinct fragrance and the fruits of the tree are bitter tasting red berries, which are eaten by birds and fruit bats. Source: Tembusu, Wikipedia

Not wanting to reserve the experience for themselves, a short film that encapsulates the students’ eye-opening journey will premiere on 25 August 2016 at Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium. Prepared to be in awe at the sharks of Lombok and the dragons of Komodo – and be intrigued by the fact that there is more than meets the eye, as the students on the expedition soon found out.
