Out of sight, out of mind<\/p>\n
It was really heartening to see in The Jakarta Post on Aug. 26
\nthat forest management, illegal logging and ecotourism were all
\ngetting a jolly good airing. It does seem at last that the
\ngovernment are on the right track.<\/p>\n
Sadly, not so the Bukit Sentul garbage collectors. Just a few
\nweeks ago I recollect reading several letters in the Post on this
\nprecise subject.<\/p>\n
As I gaze at the split black plastics bags, free of their
\ndustbins, spewing out their contents on the ground outside my
\nback window, I am comforted by the maid's remark earlier that in
\nfact I need not worry as that's the neighbors' garbage, she takes
\nours much further down the road out the bank and out of sight...<\/p>\n
The Bukit Sentul lake is a favorite location for the TV soap
\nstations. The crew spend much time munching take-aways. Now the
\nbanks are strewn with thousands of little white styrofoam boxes.
\nAll part of the scenery around here.<\/p>\n
Come on guys, who is going to be next to clean up their act?<\/p>\n
