Just 1 Hour

As the saying goes, "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away". How true it is, i don't really know as apple does not contain all the essential nutrients we need. But I definitely know that an hour of lights-off for tomorrow would be propelling the better good for our mother earth.

This activity is actually previously originated from Australia. Australia,for many many years ago, has already been known as the biggest victim of climate change. If you are a follower of environmental issues, you should be aware that the biggest leak of direct UV light, unfortunately falls on Australia. With that, the rate of cancer sufferers in Australia has been increased by leaps and bounds since numerous years ago.

Sydney was the first place ever to implement such significant event, it is the forefather of 60 Earth Hour. After getting virtual standing ovation internationally, many other countries follow the good deed, as an act to fight climate change.

Recently,the number of rainy days in Malaysia is somehow unpredictable. Ever since before Chinese New Year, heavy downpour has been seen all over the places in this country. Sudden flood happened throughout certain regions. Apart from that, a big chunk of ice reported has been melted not long ago, no thanks to ignorant human beings.

We might have one hundred thousand reasons not to turn off the light, but we do not one one hundred thousand earths to sustain the negative aftermath; we have only one reason to do the deed tomorrow, that is,

to save our one and only earth.


There are many activities in town which would be carried out as a response to this grand event. For avid shoppers, Suria KLCC will reward the first 100 shoppers brewed coffees. But well, the complex will turn off unnecessary lights, including decorative facade lights.

The magnificent lion of Sunway Pyramid will also take a good rest to not shine upon the town, in addition to that, students from Sunway University College will belt out the song "We Are The World" as a reminder to the whole nation.

One of the private universities, UCSI, will hold a live band performance during the moments, and hosting a free dodge ball game, in which it relates in climate change prevention somehow.

Mid Valley, being one of the biggest hang-out area in town, is going to turn off all non-essential lights, including the lights which are usually seen around the hotel areas.

Medias such as certain TV channels, radio stations, will all response to the mother earth in accord. They will, too turn off the lights, and be Good Samaritans to the nature.
