Dear all

Due to our inactions and reluctance to accept painful but necessary solutions now, we are destined to be cursed by our descendants in the years to come. It saddens me that our descendants would have so little to thank us for.

Here are the SEVEN deadly quirks of fate heading our way!

1.Temperatures rising to intolerable levels.

2.Scarcity of clean non-polluted water.

3.Seas without fish, rising and drowning out habitable land.

4.Man and animals competing for inadequate supply of food

5.Women in charge everywhere.

6.Men losing their ability to have erections at will.

7.No cold beer.

In regard to Klang River and all rivers in general there should be a river reserve of about 50-100 meters (with forest trees) on either side of the river from the source to the sea. But with the present mentality of the politicians in charge who are only capable of making decisions which offer short-term relief at the expense of future losses, this is a pipe dream.

Best regards

HSS

P.S. Please do indicate which of the above Seven deadly quirks you are more concerned with.
