mother earth

what is happening to our world nowadays?earthquake,flood,drought,tsunami...
in fact the small town of segamat is in the news for the wrong reason:flood.flood in this magnitude has never happened before(as in 80 years before accordin to those who live to a ripe old age).after a few days of rain,normali,the river aka sungai segamat always always *before* reached the new bridge n old bridge before receedin *but it does not happen now*
for a few days,segamat is in a crisis or emergency situation with military or army dispatching help n helicopter goin about *rescuing people*.though it never reach to any serious condition,food*a lot of shops r closed or sold out of food* n water*mineral water* are quite hard to come by especiali in some parts where water n electricity r cut off.
segamat reali looks like hit by tsunami,for a few days the town looks like ghost town.
this time we really need to watch the pace of our development.catastrophe or natural disasters serve as a wake up call.is this flood really trying to tell us something?it is kind of weird that this flood happened after the new shoplots are built by the river bank?could it be?
i read in newspaper somewhere that the government has given out warning that there will be flood but i didn't recalled reading it in newspaper or watching it in news *maybe i m not tat detailed in reading one article after another or watched or listen attentively at the news as i prefer tv shows compared to news which sometimes i skipped altogether bcos there are jus not enough things to attract my attention,did i reali miss it?*
global warming,deforestation,landslide,etc etc we read it,we discuss it,we write about it,we do projects on it,did we reali do anything to prevent it?did politicians strive to make our development environment friendly?did activists protest again n again to protect the earth?in the 80's,did the hippies do more than us?flower power,anyone?
it's time we pay attention.we hav to contribute our bit back.small stuff do count alot when u accumulate it together*sikit-sikit lama lama jadi bukit*.not in major scale but just by paying attention on how we can help is enough. i do not try to be an expert or something bcos i m not,i do not pretend to be a know-it-all as humans also hav limited abilities,i have my flaws n faults also.we can't point fingers at anyone or any reasons deemed acceptable either,maybe these natural disasters r caused by other reasons,something we do not know or maybe it's jus plain 'the grand almighty' doin.it's beyond our control or is it in our control?so much questions,so much revelations...
