Flash flood in 4 states – Terengganu, Kelantan, Pahang and Johor, as rightly predicted. We didn’t expect Kedah would experience it too, but it did – padi fields destroyed only weeks before harvesting. The cyclone that hit Bangladesh has so far killed more than 3,100 lives. Half of Mexico is now submerged. 30 pupils hurt after a 5.1 Richter scale earthquake hit southwestern Iran. Snow storms are blinding American and Canadian motorists in this holiday season. And officials in Indonesia are predicting an earthquake as powerful as 8.5-magnitude. 'Tis the reason to be jolly?
We don’t need to remind you of the tsunami that devastated Sumatra in 2004 and the massive flood that drowned practically half of Johor in late 2006. We saw it. We felt it. What are we going to do about it? We can either continue our rat race trying to make big bucks and let climate change take its course and turn our riches back to rags. Or admit that damage to the environment was caused by our own selfish lifestyle and therefore, start being the solution rather than a contributor to the problem.
Decide.
