Hey BM Forummers, as many of you all know that KAGUM has been actively saving our precious river and constantly doing River Clean Up (RCU) every month on selected rivers.
We have organized the Mini National River Clean Up on the 7th June 09 and wish to have MFN-ers to participate in this good cause. So far, there is a few company that are joining us for this and I hope MFN could cover one of the rivers as explained below.
Update on the Mini National:
We have 6 venues lined up so far:
- Penang (LKG/PMPP), lead= Lannun
- Sg Lembing (PAW), lead=Oakinn
- Sg Tua, above Batu Dam
- Sg Pinang (between ulu Yam and Gohtong Jaya): KakiPancing.Net (KPN)
- Ulu Langat at Kpg Manggis
- Sg Tekala, Semenyih
Petronas and TNB departments will be joining us at the KL/Selangor venues.
We are trying to get sponsors for food, T shirts and caps, for the event. Star will cover the event, and hopefully Berita Harian too. This will certainly hike up the awareness of the public on river conservation.
The Mal Surfcasting Club guys are considering doing a beach cleanup at the same time, but they have not confirmed yet.
KAGUM will sent reps for each site, and conduct a short briefing before the cleanup proper. We will also set up buntings (so people can easily locate the sites, and the sponsored items.
Say, it would be great if MFN can select a river venue for RCU on the day! It’s very easy to organise. I have already set up a simple River Clean Up Manual on PPoint format. What say you?
Some possible venues:
- Sg Bil, near Tanjung Malim/Slim River
- Ulu Bendul (Sban-KPilah road)
- Sg Lintang (beside Karak Hiway)
- Sg Gabai, Ulu Langat
- Sg Kancing, Templer Park
The last two venues are tricky for children, cos the anks are rather steep. If you chose one of the first two, then we’ll cover other states like Perak and NS, so more impressive as a “National” event lah!
So what say you? The KPN forum group oredi have theirs. The last time they did RCU, 50 people turned up!
Hope to get your opinions!
