Oh my.. SO MUCH OF RUBBISH… MALAYSIANS!!! what is wrong with you???
MORE?? sigh
By 12.30pm the group of 17 was really exhausted due to the amount of rubbish that was there. No choice, but we just have to stop there although there’s still more.
Lunch has arrived and we all cleaned our hands then had our lunch by the river. Well it’s time for us to enjoy the nature after a morning of hardwork.

The noble effort from the employees deserves a big round of applause. One of the employee is a few months pregnant mother and she is also there to do her bit for Mother Nature. Another employee is still recovering from a surgery not too long ago also did not miss the opportunity to give back to Mother Nature.
In the end of the day, we manage to ditch out 55 bags of rubbish. 2 signages were installed at the location together with 4 bins contributed by MEPS.

We would like to take the opportunity to say a big THANK YOU!!! to MEPS Management and Staff for their noble effort.
With the help from the Selangor Forestry department the rubbish were transport out with some trucks. They will also arrange some workers to collect the rubbish from the bins periodically.
We hope that more corporate will be able to contribute their CSR to our cause like MEPS did by helping us to clean up the waterfalls or funding Waterfall Survivors for the noble cause. We must educate these people. WE MUST HELP SAVE OUR MOTHER NATURE and SAVE OUR WATERFALLS!!!
