The Poor Water Quality Report

this marina is ungradeable yet as per NEA

National Environmental Agency's (NEA) recent revelation of the poor state of seawaters surrounding our beaches finally put to rest my long suspicion and hesitation in bringing my family for beach outings.

I am also amazed that people may spend hours of their life catching things from Singapore rivers ala "big longkangs" and bring them home to EAT. (Don't believe? Go to Tekka Market and see for yourself.)

Of course, our longkangs here are relatively cleaner output than some other parts of the world. In today's paper, you can see the picture of a man, half submerged in the water, clearing hundreds of DEAD fishes poisoned by chemical discharge.

P/S - Eating seafood in Melaka? Excuse me, where do you get your seafood from? Oh.. we catch them from the biggest longkang in the world (strait of malacca)!!! :)
