Comments on: Human Behaviour is Hardest To Change http://www.limsipin.com/?p=28 Community site for Malaysians Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:15:04 +0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: andyyong http://www.limsipin.com/?p=28&cpage=1#comment-60 andyyong Fri, 02 May 2008 17:07:26 +0000 http://www.limsipin.com/?p=28#comment-60 Indeed it is the mindset, mentality and attitude of the people. But how do we go about in educating them? The government and NGOs have not really foster this environmentally issue aggresively. I believe although it's difficult to change the current generation, it will be sensible to start with education from the school and the family. It really irks me whenever I see kids littering and even spitting. Such uncivilised nature will eventually destroy the country. Look at Australia, people of all backgrounds have inculcated the habit of separating their recycleables. Ask around the people of our society, how many of them knew the difference of the 3 colours? Perhaps it is time for someone to promote this habit by describing or showing pictures of the repercussion of not being environmentally friendly such as pollution to the river leads to the water we drink. As you mentioned not only there are insufficient awareness such as the 3 colours bin being easily accessible but also 'not bother' attitude of the garbage collector, so our efforts will be down the drain. Further to that there are groups of people who actually concern particularly with plastic and paper waste not because they are being civilised or care for the earth but of monetary value. Waste papers and plastics are controlled items whereby one is disallow to export. It is this commodity that makes it lucrative by smuggling those waste to neighbouring countries which are highly in demand for good value. So do not be deceived by those companies. How did they manage to smuggle? That you have to check with the customs as I am inclined to believe that hundreds of containers are smuggled monthly. So you see our people are not educated plus lack of awareness and facility of the same. Those who do it are for the wrong motive, a result of the corrupt officers. So who to be blamed?

It does start with our own attitude, but knowing is sometimes not enough, we should go the extra mile. For example, if you have sorted the rubbish already (kudoes to you), you should already know that there is no local council in Malaysia that cares whether you sorted your recyclables. I do not think the people handling your trash are trained to know. The already sorted rubbish could easily have been driven to a recycling center, which I think is a pretty commonplace thing in most major cities nowadays. You are right.

When we say we want to change, are we saying it b'cos everyone else is talking about it or are we really convinced to the core. Changes in behaviour starts from the heart.

車被拖走，黃泉安火大 (parking also dun know how to park stupid)
2008年4月30日
　

（吉隆坡29日訊）新任議員三把火？民主行動黨日落洞區國會議員黃泉安今日炮轟國會的泊車管理欠缺規劃，導致他停泊在國會內的國產車威拉被拖走。

他表示，針對此事，他要內政部長拿督斯里賽哈密及內政部負責，因為國會在首日會議上剛通過一項議案，指示全國警察總長確保國會在和諧、和平以及有秩序的環境下召開會議。

「可是，才不到24小時的時間，這個指示卻完全被忽略，導致國會的泊車管理簡直糟透了。」

他今日在國會走廊召開記者會時指出，今天所有的國會議員出席國會，為了聆聽國家元首的開幕御詞。可是出席之后，車子卻被拖走，對國會議員造成重大的不便。

他說，他今天駕著向妻子借來的國產威拉前來國會，發現給予國會議員的泊車位都已滿座，他向值勤的交警詢問哪個是E區的泊車位，可是沒一個人告訴他，E區的位置在哪裡。

他指出，他原想把車子停放在國會走廊，卻被拒絕，因為車位需要留給那些比國產威拉車還名貴的汽車，這其實是一個雙重標準。

他表示，最后在無法尋找泊車位的情況下，他只好把車子泊在國會範圍之外的地方。

「正因為這樣的情況，我的車子在不知情下被拖走，我還刻意將國會議員泊車單，放在車鏡后， 以通告執法單位。」

他說，當他離開國會來到車子停的位置時，駭然發現車子已不見，接著他到國會警亭詢問，查詢之下，才查出車子確實已被拖走。

他也指出，他的車子沒有國會議員的標誌，也不是名貴汽車，而他一直想把車子泊在國會範圍內，但是不獲允許，可是卻允許大使館的汽車泊放在此。
