Where are you staying? They are very common and available all over Malaysia. Including housing area road side.

This is indeed a very common plant in most townships in Malaysia.

In fact, if you are not careful, you may be hit by ketapang leaves while walking along the road. It may well get rid of some bacteria from your system there after........depending on where it lands on you body....hahahaha

Oh, thanks for the link Kchoo. Yeah I know what that leaf is after all. There are a few trees near Bukit Jalil Park. In fact there are a few tree 5 minutes away from me.
( I actually thought Ketapang was Lemongrass
