A well-built and effective drainage system is very important in ensuring the effective and uninterrupted flow of water. This is because based on a good drainage system, excess water from residential areas, industry and cultivation land can flow easily. As a result, it can help prevent from negatively impacts such floods and contamination of water sources that can cause damage to homes and properties of community. Therefore, I raise this issue in my writing because I hope the government is aware, sensitive and able to take immediate action on the drainage system, especially in rural areas. Based on my experience growing up and still living in rural areas, I can say that there have been many changes in my residential area. It is without a doubt an excellent idea to build and develop quickly expanding residential and industrial zones, in addition to the growing human population in Malaysia. Therefore, more infrastructure needs to be developed to ensure that basic human needs are alway...

Food waste is a major issue in Malaysia. Currently, human population in Malaysia is 34 billion which could be a factor driven in the increasing number of food waste in Malaysia. Newspapers have reported that Malaysia has wasted 16,688 tons of food per day, which could feed about 2.2 million people, up to three-times a day. In my opinion, this issue is very worrying because at a time when the country is trying to achieve zero hunger, but on the contrary, there is a continuous disposal of food waste in large quantities by the Malaysian community in a day. This also clearly shows that as Muslims we do not follow the correct Islamic lifestyle as commanded by Allah in His book not to waste because that is the practice of the devil. إِنَّ ٱلْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوٓا۟ إِخْوَٰنَ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۖ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ لِرَبِّهِۦ كَفُورًۭا ٢٧ Surely the wasteful are ˹like˺ brothers to the devils. And the Devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord. (17:27) Undoubtedly, at home, my family and I also experi...

                  "The Earth" is one of Allah's most magnificent creations, intended for humankind and His followers to see, comprehend, and reinforce their belief in His power, as well as to keep them on the straight path that leads to the only God. The world is a home that Allah made for His creatures to dwell on. Put simply, the earth serves as a place of residence and interaction for individuals of all racial backgrounds, nationalities, and religious beliefs. Simultaneously, Allah has made its contents, which include land-dwelling creatures like plants and animals, not as accessories but rather as a necessary resource that humanity can utilise to ensure their continued existence. Allah has said in His Word :   وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِينَ   ٣٨ مَا خَلَقْنَـٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٩ We did not create the heavens and the earth and everyth...
