The Gombak river was seen to be littered, ironically with a large warning that said ‘act before it’s too late.’ Because Malaysia is a tropical country, flash flooding is a common occurrence. The government, according to the majority of netizens, is to fault for constructing inadequate infrastructure that cannot handle the amount of water received.
However, as responsible citizens, we must learn to care for our environment. Change won’t happen overnight, especially if we’re part of the problem. People, according to netizens, would act surprised when flash floods occur as a result of this.
Many people were perplexed as to how trash ended up in the river. Littering is one of Malaysia’s most important challenges, and it is affecting everyone through flash floods. Many people believe it is because of rubbish in the sewers and streets, which finally ends up in the river.
