This book is about the trials and tribulations of Laing as a forest surveyor and partly as a community officer dealing with local forest people.i i In his works, he encountered the Penans and related some anecdotes of Penans and White men. He talked about the dialogue with Kayan, Kenyah and Penan; Long Moh agreement which excluded the Penans. He was involved with Baram operation master plan and witnessed subsequent blockade by Penans against logging. Penan blockades at Layun, "e;Blockade Satan"e; and Sebatu brought fame to environmental activists like Bruno Manser, Harrison Ngau and Anderson Mutang. He oversaw Heli-logging, ISO9001 documentation and sustainable forest management certification. He was able to share his experience and knowledge with interns and under-graduates who chose forestry as a career. His more than two decades of working in the forest has enhanced his appreciation of nature conservation and cordial engagement with Penans.
