Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage.

Environmental issues is a topic concerning all mankind. We often have to

jostle with many other concerns such as economic development, crime, race

relations, education and healthcare. The environment is often solely seen as a

future problem, and something the average person cannot do much about.

“ For a developing country to put environmental awareness as a priority, there

has to be a paradigm change,” says Dr Reza Azmi, founder and executive director

of Wild Asia. “ Profits cannot be the ultimate bottom line. Countries need to look long and hard at the natural resources around them and create policies to protect

and manage these resources, as well as enforce regulations to safeguard their

assets.”

“ The biggest hurdle facing environmentalists lies in convincing the public and

decision makers that, despite all our technology, we as a human race remain

crucially dependent on a well-functioning, robust natural environment,” says Dr

William Barron of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. “In short, it

is convincing people that environmental protection is not a luxury, but a

necessity.” The challenge is to make people realise that they are part of the

environment, not separate from it. It is getting increasingly difficult, as more and

more people live in urban areas and are increasingly detached from nature.

Environmentalists also need to present their message in an attractive manner in

order to better make themselves heard. Consequently, they are often perceived as

being anti-development or against progress or modernisation, especially in

developing countries, putting them in an opposing position in relation to

policymakers.

“ We‟ve taken the environment for granted for much too long, but we are

making good progress in changing the way we look at it and treat it”, says Satwant

Kaur, regional information officer with the United Nations Environment

Programme in Bangkok. “Throughout Asia, you just have to flip through a

newspaper, switch on a TV channel or look at billboards on the streets and there

are chances you‟ll come across environment - related messages several times a

day.”

Environmental awareness in Malaysia is relatively high compared to other

Southeast Asian countries, and definitely on par with Indonesia, Philippines and

Thailand. But awareness and doing something are separate. Awareness is a productof the efforts of the media and the government. Doing something requires action

by the public.

Dr Sundari Ramakrishna, acting conservation director of WWF-Malaysia,

points to examples of how communities address environmental issues such as river

and beach clean-up initiatives, their outspokenness against cruelty, poaching and

wildlife smuggling, their readiness to take personal action and encourage others to

minimise waste, as well as their support for energy and water saving efforts.

Simple actions can make a big difference, say environmental observers. “Stop

littering, bring reusable bags when shopping, reduce food wastage, practice car

pooling, recycle and reuse, conserve power, paper and water, and collect rain

water for use in gardening and washing,” urges DL Ho, chairman of the Waste

Management Association of Malaysia, adding that his organisation regularly

conducts seminars and conferences to promote green technology and practices, and

also provides competency training to upgrade the standard of waste management in

the country.

Habits are changing bit by bit, and change is a good thing, says Reza. But thequestion is how ready people are to make real changes to their lifestyles.

32. Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.

IN THE MIDST OF

HARDSHIP

by Latiff Mohidin

At dawn they returned home

their soaky clothes torn

and approached the stove

their limbs marked by scratches

their legs full of wounds

but on their brows

there was not a sign of despair

The whole day and night just passed

they had to brave the horrendous flood

in the water all the time

between bloated carcasses

and tiny chips of tree barks

desperately looking for their son‟s

albino buffalo that was never found

There were born amidst hardship

and grew up without a sigh or a complaint

now they are in the kitchen, making

jokes while rolling their cigarette leaves

HE HAD SUCH QUIET EYES

By Bibsy Soenharjo He had such quiet eyes

She did not realise

They were two pools of lies

Layered with thinnest ice

To her, those quiet eyes

Were breathing desolate sighs

Imploring her to be nice

And to render him paradise

If only she‟d been wise

And had listened to the adviceNever to compromise

With pleasure-seeking guys

She‟d be free from “the hows and whys”

Now here‟s a bit of advice

Be sure that nice really means niceThen you‟ll never be losing at dice

Though you may lose your heart once or twice
