Guess where?

Guess where I was today?

At 'Save Sg Pusu' meeting with people we had planned to call and meet but the kerajaan negeri beat us to it (but it would make our job easier).

Our MP was there but something he said had upset penduduk setempat.I was surprised too mulut Dr Hassan Ali macam lepas juga...wough. Sometimes we have to think ahead before we speak.I'll send him an email on this.Nak mengingatkan sensitiviti rakyat jelata! :)

But during focus group discussion, byk juga kita bincangkan.Yang paling noisy, teka siapa? :)) Iyalah...I have to raise pasal sungai nak mati sebab uncontrolled development done (bukan uncontrolled...saja buat bodoh!). At one point, I terpaksa kata asala tanah gombak tu tanah pertanian..apsal bangunkan juga..dah la pencemaran alam sana sini..we should slow down dev.Pembangunan harta tanah bukan amsa depan.Pertanian is.Bangunkanlah pertanian..so we spoke on turning Sg Pusu into a weekend gateaway (buat la resort kat mana2 sungai..dulu kita ada Mimaland for rakyat KL/PJ to run away..since we have no hill resorts/beaches..Genting is very Jinjang...sapa nak pi tempat berjudi nak berehat?)

I hope there will be one perkampungan tradisi where I can learn buat bahulu, print batik, weave baskets...hahaha...we miss kampong life, huh? Kalau ada rakit, lagi best...

The contractors kept saying kita perlu pembangunan..kita perlu pembangunan...they meant THEY need perbangunan...the people are saying we need education...jobs...ITUlah pembangunan...bangunan BUKAN Pembangunan..sampai bila kita nak sedar?We need pembangunan that goes back to the people (generate income for them) bukan satu pihak je untung, yang lagi satu sepanjang hayat berutang nak bayar pinjaman perumahan.Haji Zainal (my remisier friend) kata all of us are bankcrupts sebab hutang byk..pinjaman rumah, cars, loans itu ini...

Sampai bila kita nak sedar kita jgn jadi consumers all the time.
