What you think about Earth Hour ? Tweet

AdrianCJY.com is one of the participating organization in the 60 Earth Hour. They emailed us and acknowledged our actions . I received the mail this morning. Anyway, I was kinda disappointed to learn that, Tenaga Nasional Malaysia (TNB) was trying to file a sue to Earth Hour for causing tremendous lost over power supply. Lost in the sense of profit lost.

KUALA LUMPUR — Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Malaysia’s premier energy provider today announced that they were taking legal action against the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) for organising the Earth Hour, a global movement that makes a stand against climate change by turning off all non-essential lights and electrical equipment for an hour every year.

In a Press conference, TNB president and CEO Dato’ Sri Che Khalib Mohd Noh said that the annual worldwide symbolic gesture, which this year would be observed this Saturday at 8.30pm, is nothing more than an ‘arrogant and thoughtless viral movement’ aimed to hurt power companies such as TNB.

CHE KHALIB: These people are inconsiderate. “Obviously these green-minded fellows think they’re really cute, organising such an irresponsible campaign,” said Che Khalib angrily.

“They say ‘turn off your lights for an hour’ and people do. I bet that really makes them feel all powerful.

“What these western colonialists fail to grasp is how such drastic action affects the poor companies like us. One hour of unused electricity means an hour of wastage for TNB. Did you know that last year’s Earth Hour costed us millions in unrealised revenue?” asked Che Khalib, seething.

“How do you think that affected our production? We couldn’t exactly turn off our power plants just because a large number of Malaysians turn off their lights at the same time. So imagine all that wasted energy.

“This year, we expect even more people to fall for this global con-job,” added Che Khalib. “So there’ll be more lights turned off. KL alone would be engulfed in darkness. Yes, sure, it may seem fun to some, running around in complete darkness. But that also means TNB would get less money. Tell me, what am I supposed to say to the kids of this electrical technician when we can’t give bonus this year?” asked Che Khalib, as he pointed to a TNB staff manning the lights for the Press conference.

He added, “In light of such inconsiderate actions by these tree huggers, TNB has no choice but to take legal action against the Earth Hour organisers, WWF. We’ll wait for our accountants to come back with the loss figure after this year’s Earth Hour, and we plan to sue them for that same amount. We may even add a hundred million ringgit or so, to teach them a lesson.”

Che Khalib also reminded Malaysians to ignore the Earth Hour, calling it a ‘cultural invasion, a concerted assault by extreme liberal forces aimed to destabilise poorer nations’.

“We are Malaysians, and we should be proud of our lights. Every night we should go out and see the beautiful sparkling lights in our city skylines. Don’t be ashamed of the lights,” said Che Khalib, as he unveiled a set of pictures showing the Petronas Twin Towers and the surrounding buildings consequently going dark during last year’s Earth Hour.

“See this? See how ugly, gloomy and dark the last picture is? God knows how many people tripped over things and hurt themselves in the complete darkness, not to mention the number of bad people going around doing naughty things, knowing the authorities could not see them.

“Let’s reverse the order of these pictures this year, and fight for the rights to our lights,” continued Che Khalib. “Let’s unite as 1Malaysia, and tell these green terrorists that we will not go dark! We will not switch off! Let’s tell them that we love our lights!
“POWERRR… EXTREME!” he screamed, as powerful clusters of foglamps flooded the conference room with ultra-bright and hot light, temporarily blinding everyone present, and signalling the end of the Press conference.

I do not have any idea whether the above article is true, but if is is true, or if someone was trying to write and talk on behalf Che Khalib without his consent, he should watch out. Don’t try to provoke unnecessarily. God knows how many people trip over things but God knows too how much effort we try to help the mother nature. It can always be a wiser choice for TNB to lower down the electricity generating within that one hour. Come on! You guys are not sounding out when the government started to promote this on the TV and other mass media, but complain after the incident. It’s not because of what the western people thing, we are all children of Earth, so just try to make something out before it is too late. Don’t you think of the next generation?

It is just insane of going against something that is beneficial to all of us. So people of 1Malaysia, I would say we stand up for ourselves to do better actions for our future and put unimportant things aside. it’s just one hour one year. What others did, if it is a right move, we should follow its foot steps and try to improve and implement it. I believe that’s what make our country being 1Malaysia, being united for a better nation – RAKYAT DIDAHULUKAN, PENCAPAIAN DIUTAMAKAN. The nation will only prosper and improve if and only if the mother earth still exist.
