CURRENT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Malaysia is a country rich in natural resources source consists of a variety of species of flora and fauna, minerals, fertile land, clean drinking water and the oldest rain forest in the world. Environmental pollution gives much harm to society and the world at present. This is no doubt because there are a lot of cases covered including ozone depletion, acid rain events, the effects of green house and much more. Such cases should not be taken lightly by all levels of society from the individual up to the world level.

The first issue we want to point out is the case of air pollution caused by open burning of waste that occurs in the Kelang, Malacca. With insight like to make Malacca a developed state in 2010, the state government decided to dispose of the waste disposal centre in the state. However, looking at measures taken by the state government is treated as an unwise move because if this happens, it will affect the people who live close to the area is. If we are aware, these discarded objects containing dangerous if not managed properly. Thus, all parties should play an important role in the realization of the state government's intention to make Malacca as a cleaner.

The second issue is about the greed of the parties involved in the theft of sand on Wetlands Park in Dengkil, Selangor. This area is a refuge for hippos and crocodiles. In fact, this was also declared as a stopover on the birds that migrate from all places. If this place be treated like this, then the ecosystem in this area will increase popular destroyed and the natural beauty found in the Wetlands. The cause of this problem is due to the high demand of sand in the area is available it. There are types of silica sand which is really needed in our neighbouring country, Singapore. Singapore needs this type of sand to make micro chips.

Authorities should take a wise step in addressing this for ensure this place remains as before without any impairment. Party hotel operators and also crops must play an important role because if they put money dollars of damage to the ecosystem , then it will have a severe impact on all pihak.Malah.mereka will even blame on this happened .
