Earth Hour is a mere publicity stunt
I READ with amazement and irony the efforts of WWF Malaysia to latch on to the Earth Hour event and all the celebrities, media and corporations that have come up in support.
It is amazing that people are so easily taken in by a mere publicity stunt that fails at the very essence. Turning off our lights for one hour on one designated day of the year to save our planet surely is a PR event at best.
It shames the thousands of devoted people, government bodies, scientists and environmentalists that have for years been working on finding real solutions to address this global concern. Malaysians should see past this gimmick by international NGOs and start changing their lifestyles. Surely we can be more proactive and not be fed by an agenda of international bodies.
Why don’t we implement power conservation programmes, ride public transport on certain days in a month, car pool, etc?
It is also ironic that the organiser, WWF Malaysia, up until very recently, did not even have a climate change programme to begin with when all others (even local groups and individuals) have been persistent in their pleas for Malaysians to take action.
Remember, our leaders signed the Kyoto Protocol and there has been concerted movement towards reaching solutions. Please let us all be enlightened and move away from celebrations and gimmicks.

Mr. Anonymous,
It is a publicity stunt, but then again there are certain amount of people in this world join in to ensure this stunt pulls off.
You have different view and I have different view and perhaps other as well. So dont bother influencing other people whether its good or right. Let people choose.
Dear Marcus,
It may be a publicity stunt but in terms of creating awareness (which to me is the main aim for us to embrace it) about the plight of the environment.
I think this will go a long way to get people to start thinking of the environment and get excited about it.
It may not actually save anything or make an impact on the earth but the message it carries...
Anyway, that's our view.
