Did you know that the largest incinerator in Asia is planned to be built in Broga, 40km from Kuala Lumpu? And it lies in a water catchment area that supplies drinking water to 1.5 million people in the Klang Valley including Bangsar, Petaling Jaya, parts of Shah Alam and Puchong.
The latest update: The Broga incinerator site has been moved down the slope and now it lies right smack on Alice's mother's land. Coincidence? We don't think so. For those who have not watched the doco Alice Lives Here, Alice Lee is one of the feisty residents of Broga who has taken the government to court over the controversial incinerator. For this, she and the peaceful folks of Broga have been threatened by SB's and a wakil rakyat, "nanti saya hentam baru tahu!".
We need to let the authorities know how we feel, because it affects not only Alice and Broga, but us, in that we will be drinking water where the incinerator will be sitting on. This is the time for us to give feedback to the Department of Environment and I suggest that we CC to Pak Lah, Ong Ka Ting (his ministry is implementing the project), Health Ministry and newspaper editors (e-mail addresses are below). There are two versions, Malay and English.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
