We need to clean up our act at tourist spots
Tuesday July 14, 2009
I was in Cameron Highlands recently and the weather was refreshingly nice - cool and breezy. There were many foreigners there, which goes to show that Cameron Highlands still manages to draw the tourists inspite of the rapid developments that go on at the resort.
However, what upsets me is the rubbish that people throw on the streets and into the rivers.
Take a trip to Parit Falls, for instance, and the stench of the rubbish in the water hits you immediately.
Why doesn’t Majlis Perbandaran Cameron Highlands clean it up instead of allowing it to float on the water for days. I was there for four days and by the time I left, it was still there.
Then, there are the dirty toilets.
Even at Mardi’s agriculture park, maintenance of public toilets is below par altough entrance fee is charged.
Malaysia has numerous beautiful destinations. However, we fail in maintaing these areas nor do we keep them clean.
