NIGHT MARKET = RUBBISH

Yesterday, I went to the night market to buy food. Unfortunately, there is between those who do not practice good hygiene and environmental quality in these places. I feel disappointed with the actions done by some dealers. I was expecting from cooperation from the municipalities involved to monitor cleanliness in the night market. Municipalities need to take legal action for the night market traders who do not follow instructions.

Here, I got some pictures of the rubbish from the market last night. So, I hoped all dealers and municipalities take sensitive and aware in these problems.

what happen to USM???

11 March 2010 at 9.00am, there was a 6th Forum on "Crime and Policing in Malaysia" at Dewan Budaya, USM. This forum was organized and sponsored by Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation (Penang) and School of Social Science. There was a lot of people attending this forum. However, as the one who attending this forum, I was really dissapointed when I see a lot of rubbish in front of Dewan Kuliah Z which is very near with Dewan Budaya. I think people who came from outside USM will be talk about it because the rubbish is near the parking lot. I'm so sad to see this situation..

What will happen to USM if this situation continue to exist??

USM and rubbish

This is the current situation that happen in USM, Penang. The picture was taken at the some popular place at USM that usually used by students.

Rubbish at the top of the USM Minden Field..

At the roadside in USM..

Rubbish in the toilet..

At bus stop beside Eureka.. 
There were a lot of rubbish there..

This is the foyer of School of Social Science.. 
Some irresponsible students were littering in this area..

It is very embarrassing to have such a bad attitude of USM students. We hope we can give some awareness among USM students for not littering. It is not good for environment and it is not good for APEX University name like USM.

'FINE' CITY = FINE CITY?

DO YOU KNOW?

In Singapore, littering face a fine of up to S$1000 just for first-time offenders alone. For repeat offenders-it's a fine up to S$2000

and...

a Corrective Work Order.

That is, they are penalised to spend a few hours cleaning up public space (e.g:picking up litter in a park) and they are made to wear bright yellow jacket!

Gasp!!!

They even have the local media to cover the public spectacle!

(Although that is not done always but it sure gives one a scare)

Do we have to go to such measures here in Malaysia to really get the people to keep the place clean?

What's your say on this?
