Yes it is not too late to clean our streams and river. But the authority must act fast as well. take care.Pak Idrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420141407304142741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-66445557952647861982007-05-17T18:21:00.000+08:002007-05-17T18:21:00.000+08:00pak idrus,your article really made me remember the...pak idrus,<BR/><BR/>your article really made me remember the tranquility of Beserah beach. And Sungai Galing. My father said during his time in the 60's, the water in the river can be drink, and bath. Now, no longer.<BR/><BR/>yes..i think it's not yet too late for us to preserve the river (in the other words, water itself). And, EVERYONE must play their roles into this. Not only the government, not only the NGO's. But everyone.<BR/><BR/>For the prople, no rubbish, or contiminant is to be thrown into the river. For the government,continious monitoring of the Water is essential AND the law rules. For the NGOs, promote the importance and values of the Water, and educate the newbie, who are naives about it.<BR/><BR/>Have a nice day.mutalib saifuddinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938555482081358576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-26697974468057017922007-05-16T10:10:00.000+08:002007-05-16T10:10:00.000+08:00balram, thanks for the visit and the valuable comm...balram, thanks for the visit and the valuable comments. I am with you that we seem not to really understand the value of Water. If we are to continue to enjoy a better quality of life, than the authority must be smart in managing our natural resources and in this case Water.

Malaysia with its vast water resources must educate our people about saving water & not polluting our water resources. Take for instance Australia - it is rapidly turning into a dry continent but the Government has taken strict measures to educate the people & have imposed very strict rules about water usage. Malaysians have a 'tidak apa' policy which is highly detrimental to our sacred environment.bnaipalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08802460162637872560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-50212341331407577072007-05-14T18:41:00.000+08:002007-05-14T18:41:00.000+08:00berisman, thanks for the visit.

I agree that we should educate the masses but that is not enough. We should have an agency that do nothing else but to take care of our streams and rivers. Not like now Water is just treated as an ordinary commodity. It should be treated a very important resources and given due attention. Have a nice day.Pak Idrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420141407304142741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-71312941953768909912007-05-13T16:06:00.000+08:002007-05-13T16:06:00.000+08:00Salam Pak IdrusAaaah, armchair traveller on a Sund...Salam Pak Idrus<BR/>Aaaah, armchair traveller on a Sunday, I love doing that! <BR/>If only our travel programmes are just as good, I wouldn't wait for the next day to make the arrangements to visit. <BR/>I wish our rivers are as crystal clean as those in Europe or the US. <BR/>We need to educate our people about the environment. Without education, we cannot raise the awareness.Fauziah Ismailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138757396818642239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-67586287928444717832007-05-13T12:49:00.000+08:002007-05-13T12:49:00.000+08:00I think it would be better for the government to e...I think it would be better for the government to educate Malaysians on the importance of keeping our rivers and beaches clean. Have more campaigns on the electronic and in the printed media. We don't need to spend millions of ringgit to clean rivers knowing that people would keep polluting them. Let us learn from a tourist who commented that he has been to a beach in Europe which is cleaner than our beaches and what is more significant...the number of people who frequent that beach is 3 times more than the number of people who frequent our beaches.Madame Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800361855775316556noreply@blogger.com
