Cadangan on, the Pigs again
April 9, 2008
Salam,
People have been protesting in front of the SUK building. If they are really the voice of people of the area. They would have to halt the project. They are the people there and they know better.
It is quite disappointing that the deterioration of environment around the area has been really serious because of the current pig farms. This has been happening for a long time and should have been reported a long time ago. I know perfectly that this is the lame political tactic being done by Utusan Melayu but still, action has to be taken to improve the situation. I am still disappointed, why is it NOW when the situation has been really bad that they want to report it? Why not long time ago? When the pollution has started taking its toll on the environment? Where are these people complaining, now?
For now, I think the government needs to take the view of the people in the area. The whole area needs to be cleaned up. Before looking to move other pig-rearing farms to the area, make sure the current farm is improved SIGNIFICANTLY before doing anything else. All the pollution needs to go first.
So for now, halt the project. Listen to the people’s views, first!
Explain to them how this project can clean all the mess up. The people are to be blamed and they can’t put the blame on the new project if they had not complain as the pollution has been there for a long time.
IF they had, then it’s the former government that has done no action on it unless the pollution suddenly appear after March 8th (I don’t think so).
For the new government, to heck with what the former government did, you guys have no choice but CLEAN THE MESS UP with whatever method including modernize the farm and have more control measure if it works. And explain to the people how it will help them.
Thank You
