Water


I think tomorrow the water pressure will be low. I shall not be affected because my landlord drill for the underground water for those who use the pipe water from the water company will face some disruption. I hope this would be a lesson for the restaurant especially.

The water hydrant just next to the restaurant but the staff seemed to be blind. The water gushed out and ran into the monsoon drain. I did not how long it has burst. At least, there is a minutes run judging from the water that almost flooded the half of the road.

Many of Asians people attitudes are like that 'none of my business'. Just give a call to the Fire Bridgate, and that can save the precious water.

This careless attitudes should be corrected but it is seemed not in the school curiculum.Even if it is the parents would not care about it when they see this scene.

Many years ago, the reports in Malaysia saying among the hundreds of rivers in the country only 9 were clean for consumption. What is the situation now, I don't know.

Many posters were erected to tell the people to care for the rivers but the majority were not taken to see and feel when there is not water supply.

What is the best job for the people to feel is for them to go without water for days and this would be the best lesson.

Decades ago, i wanted to study for the Management of Rivers in Canada but i was lacked of fund and the dream and hopes were dashed. Besides, i also wanted to study the Geography majoring in Rivers Management in NUS, Sinagpore but also due to fund issue. That is life, isn't it ?

If you are into the environment protection, let us work together for a better living world.
