I pray pray

Looking at our Earth's current situation always sadden me. The dying corals, the ever depleting marine creatures in the sea, the pollution, over harvesting, etc, etc...

Tioman is where I dive most. There used to be lots of inquisitive batfish but now it's not the same anymore...

It's a snowball that cannot be stopped... whatever we do... In my opinion "The Day After Tomorrow" will come, sooner or later, regardless how desperately scientists all around the world try to prevent it. Another ice age will come, it's not the first anyway.

Malaysia government, has a funny policy about conservation… A certain area in Tioman was gazetted as protected “Marine Park”. But now they want to build a marina, not on anywhere else in Tioman but on this Marine Park. How ironic is that?

They declared an area as protected park, yet they now want to build something on it which will inevitably cause pollution, thus destroying the protected area… It’s like, I give you an apple, and I snatch the apple from your hand and step on it and crush it. There, pick up the pieces if you can.

All we can do is to dive there more before the sites are eventually ruined by the construction, and pray:

“Dear God, Buddha, Allah, please don’t let them continue with the project.. Please let them realize what they are trying to do is wrong.. Please let them have other things to do, other things to occupy their “mind” so that they forget about this project… please…”
