Free photography course

Wetland Day 060210

I have been taking photos way back in the 80's but I have only attended once a free seminar organised by Canon.The last one was more than five years ago and I have already forgot what it was all about.However,whenever I meet my photography savvy  friends,I do ask them to explain and to show me to do take better photos.In fact,I am ashamed that I have yet to master all the buttons and features inside in my Canon 400D after having it for more than two years!

This morning,insyaAllah I will attend a second free photography session organised by Perbadanan Putra Jaya in conjunction with the Wetland Day at Pusat Wetland.I hope to pick up a few tips so that I can take better photos of Malaysian wetlands.

Here are a few  of them while I was on my cycling trip:

Water pollution

Just look at the colour of our river water and you immediately know that most are being polluted on the daily basis.Below is a news about two of the culprits got apprehended and fined by the court.What happened to the rest?

Our local authorities are the ones who approved the construction and operation of factories.They should be more environmentally conscious and take action  aggressively by closing the factory for non -compliance.Sadly,I noticed a few are so weak that they can't even maintain their drains and cut their grass behind their own offices.

BATU PAHAT: Two oil palm companies were fined a total of RM25,000 by a Sessions Court here for pollution by discharging waste matter into the river above the allowed limit.

The PPNJ oil palm factory in Batu 17, Mukim Kahang committed the offence on Feb 19, 2008 by releasing waste that contained biological oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids.

The factory was fined RM15,000 or six months’ jail for the offence.

In the same court, a Felda-owned oil palm factory in Kahang Timur was also charged with releasing waste that contained BOD on Oct 14, 2008.

Sessions Court judge Mohamad Haldar Abd Aziz fined the factory RM10,000 or six months’ jail for the offence.

Both factories were charged under Section 16 (1) of the Environment Quality Act 1974 and Section 16 (2) of the same Act.

Deputy public prosecutor Noor Mohd Emran Amir prosecuted the case, while both factories were not represented.
