The Sea of Kuantan have turned RED...not with the blood of those that have caused it to turn RED....but RED because the Barisan Nasional state Government have failed in its duty to the people of Pahang and failed in its duty to prevent the greed of men to ravage, pillage and plunder Pahang until it bleeds!
And among those who ravage, pillage and plunder the land is the Sultan of Pahang himself who is one of those who have profited and continues to profit hideously from the mining of legal and illegal Bauxite!
The RED sea of Kuantan cannot vote nor can it tells us it's pain and consternation at being pummelled to death by the odious mining of Bauxite that continues everyday to turn not only the Sea but also PAHANG into a Sea of RED....and because it cannot vote nor can it register its anger at what is being done to it, the BN state government under Adnan Yaakob can turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to all that is happening around them. HUBRIS for Adnan Yaakob and the Sultan is bliss. HUBRIS for them is the preferred option even as the Sea of Kuantan turns RED and this Adnan Yaakob treats those who care for Pahang with contempt!
If the Sea cannot talk then we all - the people of Pahang and us - must talk for the Sea. Talk for all the living creatures that are also dying because of the RED Sea...and talk for the people whose living are being deprived and affected by the HUBRIS of a state government more worried about the earnings of odious businessmen in league with politicians and Royalty who ravaged, pillage and plunder the state of Pahang for their own private gains while the people and the state of Pahang suffers the intolerable and possible terminal demise of it's flora, it's environment, it's rivers and now even its sea!
And soon, if not already happening, the people of Pahang too will start to die like the sea that is already dying, from the mining of Bauxite.
