I was inside the 52 seater plane to Sibu. A small plane, there is no first class or business class. It's all the same class. Usually when I hit the plane, I will fall asleep and wake up when I reach the destination. The other passengers are streaming in. The airline crew is leading them to their seats.
For a short flight, I like to be on the window seat. The aisle seat was taken by a Chinese man who was chatting on the mobile phone. I could figure out that he was speaking to his office about some business deal. He stood up to let me in while still talking on his phone. I placed my computer bag under the front seat. I wondered if this small plane provided you with some magazine or a newspaper. The man next to me is still on his phone. A female air crew stopped by and politely requested the man to stop talking. “Ok” he said as he tilts his head a little but he is still on his phone. Another female air crew passed by and tells the man to switch off his phone. Just then the man finished. The captain's voice is now on the PA system. “Toooo...” the man’s phone rang. He answered and started to talk again. I felt a little irritated now.

The first lady aircrew stopped by and requested again for the man to shut off his phone. The man turned to her "Heh, talk awhile won't die lah, plane also hasn’t fly" and is still talking. The female aircrew was taken aback. I suddenly turned to him, "What is wrong with you? This lady is doing her job." I raised my voice. I could see he was taken aback and quickly shut off his phone. The female aircrew smiled. She said "thank you" and walked away.
The plane is now flying over the Borneo jungle. I read in this morning's newspaper that a new species of cat was found in the jungle. As I looked out of the window, I could see a vast primary forest. Could the new found cat be just down there?
Then I saw a curved river. What shocked me was the color of the river. It is brown and muddy. I was expecting to see a blue or clear river not brown and muddy. ....how come it is like that? Where did the source of
pollution come from? 
Hmmmm I took a few aerial photos from the 
plane. After I landed, a car took me to the hotel. Behind my hotel there is a river. I was even more shocked to see the pollution. You can see the above photos I have taken. A few boys were fishing from the muddy polluted river. I don't think they are going to find any fish.
I felt sad for the environment, and for the new found cat. With this pollution the species of new found cat may be extinct soon. Mankind needs to live on the earth. We may be the only species that kills the earth too.
This brought me to recall the time that I had a chance meeting with the famous Japanese wrestler, Inoki san, whose mission is to protect the environment. We had lunch together. If we have more people like him, we will have more people saving this earth.

When I returned to the hotel, I met the two female aircrew checking in the hotel too. "You want to go for a drink later?" one asked.
"I love to, but I have to give a talk tonight". I sighed.
