"However, there is little karma in the fact that the actual perpetrators have jetted off scott free, investing all those millions raised by logging into foreign properties, while the people who have taken the punishment are the poor, who gained nothing from the destruction of Malaysia’s forests.
This logging took place under their watch as senior leaders over the past many decades. It is only now that the trees have gone that they are willing to talk about ‘stopping’ the problem.
They
have been warned and told by environmentalists and scientists and
native protestors for decades about the consequences of their greedy
rape of nature’s buffers and the answer has always been the same.
“You did it, so why shouldn’t we?”
By ‘you’, they meant some long dead bunch of long forgotten Europeans from centuries ago."

The amount of political scam that brought about these tragic losses was being discussed by the various koffee and teh tarik drinkers leading from the Royal Family of Pahang to the Federal government and its cronies. No one is willing to name names or point fingers which is typical of the Kopitiam analysts, but suffice to say that the Government has its fingers in every bad moves that had led to the major disaster we are now just beginning to witness; the rainy season has just begun. However the blaming game aside, how do we as a nation goes about mitigating the whole mess that we are in as it does affect the whole country in one way or another. Help is finding its way in one way or another to the affected areas but because of the road closures in some major routes to the East Coast, getting the needed goods there is still a problem. Most efforts that utilized four wheel drivs were able to find their way through and has reached a few areas but barely touch the surface of the amount of help needed.
What can one do as an individual who for years have been trying to trying to bring some form of awareness towards the preservation of the environment/ It is sad and worse it is a helpless cause when you look at it like there is no end to human lack of intelligence and greed. These two human illnesses is closely followed by the third, that of human hatred and violence; of which the Malaysian News is fully loaded with all kinds of accusations of politicians and the high ranking police officials being involved with the crime syndicate in the country. These are the headlines we read in just about every Media the last few weeks and it involves to highest of government agencies and officials. Where will it all lead us to as country?

So I ask myself, what can i do? Where do i even begin to find ways to get myself over to where help is really needed and dismiss all these crap that is being played in the background of the whole scenario of a disaster still in the process of recovering. Here is country that has always been one ot he first to make efforts towards aiding other nations in their times of need and yet here we are unable to do much when shit hits our on yard. I will try to make my move and hopefully find my way to Kelantan and perhaps help a family or two to clean up their homes. Insha'Allah.
