save mother earth

lets talk about the weather.the weather nowadays is unpredictable.in the morning,the sun is shining as bright as ever and suddenly the sky seems like its gonna fall anytime.recently,kedah has been severely affected with flood,and that include my housing area.one thing that makes me wonder is that the flood hits my hometown not during rainy days.yea,i know that the authority open the gate of the dam to let go of the overflowing water to prevent the dam from bursting and create another chaos story..but then,in 2005 they too did open the gate but my housing area wasnt affected AT ALL!

today,alor setar is experiencing development.more trees are chopped off to make way for development.being away from alor setar for 2-3 weeks is enough to see the changes in landscape of the developed area.just give a ride around the city and u'll find it hot enough for u to shed tears if u dont wear sunglasses while driving..the heat is different..its like poking ur strained eyes..there are no trees to filter the hot sun..the sun ray is radiated straight right to the earth without being filtered.the environment is getting hotter day by day.the number of vehicles on roads is increasing day to day and that contributes to the global warming we are experiencing these days.

another main project that is going on in alor setar is the electrified double track project which is believed to be the main cause of the severe flood happening recently.this project causes the drainage system to be incapable of channeling a huge volume of water plus the drain is clogged with sand and other building materials which probably caused the water couldnt flow properly and eventually rises..well that is my personal thought about the project and i am not a professional to talk deeper about this..but thats what i think of since my housing estate has never been flooded as far as i can remember.

this is the price that we have to pay for ruining the mother earth for the sake of development.in my own personal opinion,it is better to preserve mother nature than to opt for development.we've gone through a lot of things and we survived even without the electrified train or what so ever kind of development.im not saying that we do not need development.yes we do need development to improvise our lifestyle and to be forward..but to some extend,it is better no development if it is taking its toll on us.why dont we think of green development that wont affect the mother earth?why chop off trees just to make way for development?why dont we think of another way to preserve the trees and at the same time the development is engaging?these kind of questions should be given a serious thought since the earth is getting sicker day by day..save MOTHER EARTH!
