Entopia by Penang Butterfly Farm

Living butterfly sanctuary with soaring vivaria, free-flying species and Malaysia's largest vertical garden.
This guide to Entopia by Penang Butterfly Farm opens in 1981 with an Englishman on holiday who wandered into a Batu Ferringhi souvenir shop, grew fixated on its mounted butterflies, and tracked down the schoolteacher who made them, David Goh. You'll hear how that visitor, a lawyer turned butterfly farmer named Clive Farrell, pushed Goh toward opening his own park, and how Goh took his proposal to Penang's Chief Minister to lease a plot in Teluk Bahang. Listen for how the farm was later shut down by Goh's son, not to close it, but to reinvent it.
