Pantai Batu Buruk - Sikap dan Tabiat Pengunjung

Pantai Batu Buruk adalah antara pantai yang popular di Kuala Terengganu. Saban waktu, ianya menjadi lokasi kunjungan tak kiralah oleh penduduk Kuala Terengganu sendiri ataupun pelawat dari luar.

Antara yang ada di Pantai Batu Buruk adalah aktiviti bermain layang-layang, menaiki kereta kuda, menikmati keropok lekor, ikan celup tepung, sate ikan dan lain-lain makanan ringan, ataupun paling kurang, bersantai menikmati angin dari Laut Cina Selatan.

Apa yang ingin diketengahkan adalah sifat tidak bertanggunjawab pengunjung ke pantai ini yang menbuang sampah merata-rata. Di setiap lokasi sepanjang pantai ini, baik dari kawasan berhampiran Hotel Primula, sehinggalah ke lokasi berhampiran Batu Buruk Beach Resort, kelihatan sampah-sampah terutama beg plastik, cawan plastik, pembungkus makanan yang ditinggalkan setelah mereka makan di bangku-bangku atau di mana saja di sepanjang pantai ini.

Apa yang lagi dikesalkan adalah jarak antara tempat mereka makan dan tong sampah yang disediakan oleh pihak berkuasa tempatan amatlah dekat, namun entah mengapa, terlalu sukar untuk mereka bangun dan buang sampah ke dalam tong yang disediakan.

Lihat di dalam gambar, tong biru adalah tong sampah yang disediakan. 

Keadaan menjadi lebih teruk setiap kali bulan Ramadhan dimana terdapat bazaar iftar dibuka di kawasan parking hadapan Kompleks Akuatik. Pengunjung membeli juadah di bazaar dan seterusnya berbuka puasa di bangku-bangku yang disediakan. Selepas selesai berbuka, mereka terus bergerak dari situ dan membiarkan sisa-sisa makanan, pembungkus dan sebagainya ditinggalkan di atas bangku-bangku tersebut tanpa rasa bersalah. Inikah mentaliti yang perlu kita agungkan ? Sampai bila kita akan seperti ini ?

Seliparku Hanyut

Buat kesekian kalinya
Seliparku hanyut lagi
kerna kelalaianku
untuk meletakkannya
ditempat yang lebih selamat

Seliparku hanyut
kerna air naik lagi
lalu mereka berkata
rumahmu di tanah tinggi
masakan banjir

coba kau lihat
rumahku di tanah tinggi
namun......
setiap kali hujan lebat
longkangku melimpah
lalu membawa seliparku pergi

seliparku hanyut
kerna air naik lagi
lalu mereka berkata
pasti longkangmu tersumbat
justeru rumahmu banjir

coba kau lihat
longkangku tidak tersumbat
namun.....
airnya tetap melimpah
lalu membawa seliparku pergi

lalu, bagaimana seliparmu boleh hanyut
andai rumah mu di tanah tinggi
andai longkangmu tidak tersumbat


lihat di tepi jalan sana
longkangku tidak tersumbat
rumahku di tanah tinggi
namun pihak berkuasa
membina longkang melawan graviti

akhirnya mereka faham
kerja tuhan menurunkan hujan
tapi kebodohan manusia membanjirkan rumahku......

aku pasrah
dilain kali
seliparku pasti hanyut lagi.....

Why should I change when it is everybody's responsibility

When talk about change, we always think that everybody need to change in one shot. So then the impact of change will be obviously visible. But, that will only be in a dream. Changing everybody should start with a change in our mind first. Change process is not easy, often that we have to face barriers from those who are not ready to change or to adapt changes. Sometimes they are too comfortable with present condition and they perceive that changes will make their situation become more difficult.

So, change has to be started from one mind. That is why the agent of change is greatly required especially at the beginning. Who or what should be the agent of change ? Will elaborate more about this later.......

Change, I Must Change and The World Will Change With Me

Change had been interpreted as a shift or transformation from one situation or state towards another situation or state. Dictionary.com defines change as an act or instance of making or becoming different either in location, situation or even behavior.

Often when we talk about change we stress on the requirement for others to change but along this process, we also often forget that we need to be the agent of change. The phrases "change, I must change and the world will change with me" emphasizes every single person in an organization to become the agent of change. Mahatma Ghandi in one of his speech mentioned about being the agent of change by saying "Be the change you want to see in the world".

So, let us start the journey of change with ourself as the agent of change.

Housing Issue in Pulau Indah

Banks, developers accused of cheating

PORT KLANG: About 1,400 buyers of apartments planned for five sites on Pulau Indah are asking the authorities to investigate allegations that bank personnel and the developers are colluding to deceive them.

The buyers made part payments in 1999 for apartments at Bahtera, Yamin Tower, Indah Heights, Yamin Heights and Mutiara Heights costing RM45,000 to RM120,000 which were supposed to be completed in 2003.

While none of the apartments had been completed, many of the buyers had received letters from banks asking them to pay what they still owed for the units or risk being declared a bankrupt.

Chairman of the committee of Indah Heights, Yamin Heights and Mutiara Heights buyers Wan Zamzahidi Wan Zahid said that some of the banks appeared to have issued the full amount of loans to the developers even though the projects had not been completed.

He was especially concerned because the developers did not seem to have obtained approval to change the status of the project sites from agricultural to residential land.

"A file search showed that the developers had not obtained permission from the Klang Municipal Council to build on the land," he told reporters here.

Chairman of the committee for the Bahtera apartment buyers Anuar Ibrahim said the banks had given loans in full to the developers without them meeting the stipulated conditions.

He said that he had lodged reports with the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and the Selangor government.
