A very jolly Happy Earth Day to you and your family! 
Earth Day is designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment. However, for me, Earth Day is Everyday. 
So, what is your plan to commemorate Earth Day?
Our department is organising EPD Hunt (a mini treasure hunt) for our staff during lunch time today. I’m super excited! All questions are based on the environment and our department. 
Three of us in the family were born in the year of the tiger. :p My Dad, my eldest sister and I. Apparently, those born in the year of the tiger have characteristics which include bravery (grrrr!), sensitivity (oucchh...) and confidence, and thought to be bold, powerful and adventurous. However, tigers are prone to be short-tempered and risk takers... Hmmm, yeah, honestly speaking, I'm sometimes like that.. :D But hey, hang on.. There's much more.. Tigers make good bosses and leaders, and are superb actors, writers, and publicists. :D yeehaa! ;) (haha prasan bah..)
Anywaysss....
On a more serious note, let's talk about real tigers out there. For your information (if you haven't already know), we don't have tigers in the wild in Sabah (but we have in the Lokawi Wildlife Park lah). Sarawak doesn't have tigers too. Tigers in Malaysia are mainly found in Kelantan, Terengganu, Perak and Pahang.
According to WWF-Malaysia, there are several threats faced by tigers. The main ones are hunting/poaching/illegal trade, habitat and prey loss and also conflict with humans. With all the threats and pressures from all sides, there is absolutely a serious and urgent need to protect these amazing creatures. Do you realise tigers are used in our national emblem? They symbolise strength and courage.
"Save our Tiger, Save our Heritage"
Earth Hour serves as a reminder that we have the power to change our lifestyles to be kinder and more friendly towards our Earth. It may just be 60 minutes tonight with our lights off and all, but it can make a jolly big difference for our Earth.
So, pretty please, do your part. We are all responsible to look after our Earth. We have a say! And we have the power to change things. Believe!
