a room with a view


Wouldn't you love to wake up every morning and have this view?

In recent years, there has been global criticism that Malaysia has no consideration for the greenery in it's pursuit of development. Yes, there is illegal logging and buildings growing faster than you can change dirty underwear. However, I would like to show that the green you see from this window isn't a forest reserve, it's in the centre of Kuala Lumpur. All natural. The building in the middle of all this green is Parliament. According to statistics, Malaysia is still 65%-70% green. That's a lot of trees.

Development is exactly that: we all suffer it. So, look to your own government before you point your finger in this direction. And, if you still think we are the 'jungle' between Thailand and Singapore, to a certain extent you're right.

hear hear...i brought zw for a breakfast picnic in that same clump of green yesterday and despite the 11am heat, under one of the gazillion old trees, it was cool, shady and perfectly peaceful.

that would be a billion dollar view in HK, it's nice and yes, I think Malaysia is pretty green, even the city centre isn't so bad.
