Fresh, sweet sap of joy


WHILE searching for the freshest and finest toddy, a man ended up buying a coconut plantation with about 100 trees to ensure that he has a constant supply.

Lawyer Paul Raj Samy Raj, 50, bought the 2.4ha land in Karangan, Kulim in Kedah, of which 0.4ha is used to plant coconut trees. He has workers to harvest the toddy, also called neera or palm nectar, from the trees daily.
