A year ago I wrote about the Monsoon Cup, and how I was cheated of RM 6 because some st*pid old man refused to pay a single cent when he found out his enitre family could watch the opening ceremony without paying anything.
Anyway, Monsoon Cup is here again! A lot had happened since a year ago. For one, Pulau Duyung, the place where the Cup was hosted, and will be hosted again this year, has turned from a sleepy-hollow-almost-dead-but-popular-for-it’s-boat-building-industry town into a Datuk-Michelle-Yeoh-wants-to-build-a-holiday-villa-here town and more recently a Jackie-Chan-wants-to-film-a-movie-here town. Not bad, huh? *smiles*
If only Datuk Michelle Yeoh and Jackie Chan could convince our st*pid leaders that legalizing the sale of turtle eggs is only going to push the species into the brink of extinction FASTER. Hmmph..
If you think this post might benefit other bloggers:
What’s monsoon cup anyway? Is it something like the world cup?
pelf: “The Monsoon Cup is part of World Match Racing Tour international sailing circuit, and the Tour’s first Asian venue.” Read more about it here.
Yeah..IF only both of them can convince.. and If they have the time to visit our country…. (IF….). How i wish i can go…there.. (hee..hee).
pelf: Yea..
as you said, they are st*pid. you shouldnt be expecting too much from them. environmental and marine conservation are too complicated for them.
pelf: Yea, you are so darn right
Turtle survival is probably the last thing on many people’s mind - sad but true.
Hope you’ll get to catch some action in Pulau Duyung this time around …
pelf: Not sure if I would go again this year though
Government? Well turtles and terrapins can’t vote-so there you have it why no one in the government gonna take care of them.
pelf: True also ha..
Nevermind. If Datuk Michelle Yeoh and Jackie Chan could not help to convince, don’t worry. Pelfy Chen would do it. You know what? I’ve already pasted the car sticker you gave me the other day “SAVE OUR TURTLES” at my car’s backscreen. See? Not all great people can do good things, only good people can do great things. Haa!! Haa!!
pelf: WOW..
