Malaysians are still an ignorance bunch of people!

When the world lights off on Sat at 8pm local time, the same could not be seen here. Most of the skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur are still brightly lit. And most of the people on the streets has no clue as to what was happening around the world at that hour. Not much campaign was carried out to highlight the event except on Facebook and some radio stations. More surprisingly, not a word was mentioned in the news or newspaper. But they do report the aftermath  the day after which I find it a bit ridiculous. Kudos to Fly FM for doing their part. I heard the DJ spin his music in a dim-lit studio and messages regarding Earth Hour was convey to the listener throughout the one hour session.

I’m proud to say that I did observed the event. The lights in my room was turned off exactly at 8pm and I even turned off my PC which was put on running almost 24/7. As I stay in the darkness of my room while the rest of the house was brightly lit (couldn’t convinced my parents to join in), a lot of thinking was done. I mean what else can you do in the dark? I actually like the feelings of being left alone. It was quiet and everything seemed so calm. Maybe I should do it more often now that I’m too stressed.

Nevertheless Earth Hour should be observed EVERYDAY, not just on that day alone. We as human should do our part in preserving whatever that’s left for our sake and for the sake of our next generation. Let us stop the mother earth from crying again…

LIGHTS OFF, people!
