I took some friends from Germany who were on holiday here to visit the famous mossy forest that is located at Bukit Brinchang, Cameron Highlands.
We were all shocked and disappointed that the first thing that we saw was a pile of rubbish that has been lying there, and judging from the smell, for quite some time.
All parties, the authorities and the visitors themselves, must play a bigger role to protect the very place that has become an attraction to tourists, both local and foreign.
The reality is, it is the rubbish that they will have memories of and not the beautiful mossy forest that they drove all they way from Kuala Lumpur to see. Word of mouth advertising is the best way to sell tourism products, but it can also have a reverse effect.
OMAR ARIFF,
Kuala Lumpur.
