Ara Damansara Community Lake Park

My earlier post on Stagnations and Siltations and the photos within were mild compared to what the lake looks like now. I can't even call it a lake as the latest spate of heavy daily rainfall has turned the lake into a mud-flat.

White-breasted Waterhens can be seen traipsing across the flat in search of the daily bread. They must be pretty hardy to tolerate the deterioration of what used to be a beautiful lake.

Just take a look for yourself.

Blocked Drains

After the Ara Damansara residents' meeting with the local authorities on August 23 2008, I was pleased to receive a letter acknowledging my complaints about the blocked drains.

But I'm sorry to say that the buck seems to have stopped there while more and more comedic reports appear in the press about the mosquito problem on dengue and chikungunya spread.
Dengue serious in Manjung, Perak: Health Minister

Also recently the article which really made me laugh...
Public urged to be proactive

And we should all sit up and pay attention to what the Health Minister has to say...
Ministry to step up efforts against dengue, chikungunya

Meanwhile my blood is being sucked dry by this vermin and I have to drench guests visiting my home in "MozAway".
