I was in Penang during the first week of July. Instead of the usual Kek Lok Si and Snake Temple which we gave them a miss, we had a jog to Muka Head lighthouse and other less visited attractions.

During our sightseeing in town, we inevitably came across huge roadside signboards bearing the slogan “Jagalah Kebersihan Pulau Kita“. Oh, we are on an island, the Pulau Mutiara, so we have to keep the island clean…

What about other places in Malaysia ? What kinda slogans should they use ?

For example, we have towns such as Sungai Petani and Bukit Mertajam. Should they put up “Jagalah Kebersihan Sungai Kita” and “Jagalah Kebersihan Bukit Kita” ?

What about Kota Bharu, Kuala Trengganu and Gua Musang ? “Jagalah Kebersihan Kota Kita”, “Jagalah Kebersihan Kuala Kita” and “Jagalah Kebersihan Gua Kita” ?

In Subang Jaya and Ampang Jaya [Subang = earrings and Ampang (empangan) = dam], could it be “Jagalah Kebersihan Subang Kita” and “Jagalah Kebersihan Ampang Kita” instead ?

As for Tanjung Malim and Teluk Intan, “Jagalah Kebersihan Tanjung Kita” and “Jagalah Kebersihan Teluk Kita” ?

In PM Pak Lah’s constituency, Kepala Batas, and the little town of Kaki Bukit near Thai border in Perlis, surely it would be “Jagalah Kebersihan Kepala Kita” and “Jagalah Kebersihan Kaki Kita”…

Federal Land Development Authority (Felda)’s first ever resettlement area was Lurah Bilut in Bentong, Pahang. Should we have “Jagalah Kebersihan Lurah Kita” ?

In Sarawak, sometimes rivers are named as Batang instead of Sungai, such as Batang Rejang, Batang Ai. There are also towns with the name Batang in peninsula, eventhough they might not mean rivers, for example Batang Berjuntai, Batang Benar and Batang Kali. Therefore, could we have “Jagalah Kebersihan Batang Kita” ?

Kepala and Kaki are parts of human body. As for Lurah and Batang, ermm… you know laa… :-D
