The havoc in Johor, the southern state of Peninsular Malaysia. Rain and flood like never before for the last few weeks, should be a lesson to all of us. I believe it is part of the result of the global warming. The causes of these I believe we all know too well.
We, our species had been tempering with mother nature and it has start to bleed. So this is what we get, floods at places that were considered safe before and not any more. Hundred thousand of people were affected by the flood that is still happening as I write this. The damage to properties has mounted to millions, this could be easily be replaced but the human suffering to some are beyond remedy. Traumatised that would be with them all their lives. In a way they all had suffered, just because our species refused to understand that tempering with nature has its limit and price to pay. Pay we did now!!!. I do not have images of the happening but this and this blogs have.
Town and suburban that never got flooded before now would not be the same again, for the flood would surely come again next year if we do not study the causes of this year flood and take action to put things right in these damage to nature. Remember lots of physical development has taken places all over the country all the years since we gain Independence and it has been fifty years. Could these developments be part of the cause of this unexpected rain and flood that is happening now!!. Well we all need to know the answer to this question. Just swiping it under the carpet would not do anybody or the country an good. We need the answer so that we may repair the damaged that had already happen and done and saved the country from further disaster in the future...

Sad isn't it how they've tampered with nature. But greed always prevails over good sense...
ReplyDeleteSungguh sedih dan pilu bila saya mendengar irama "Semalam di Malaya" di laman Pak Idrus. Terkenang pada satu hari hujan lebat di Kuala Trengganu, sebab itulah pertama kali saya dengar lagu ini, di Radio Malaya.
Awang, thank for the visit, appreciate your comment. Well that is our world today. Our species might end like the dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteWell like you I love this song, it remind me of our past.
Pak Idrus:
ReplyDeleteThe fish curry looks delicious and I can smell it from my computer!!! Please can you tell me all the ingredients you have used to make this curry. I have an idea how to make this curry but the ingredients baffle me. There are so many versions on the internet as well. I'm interested in all the fresh and dry ingredients that go into making this fish curry. Thanks for your help in advance.
