Every time I fly back to Sepang International Airport, provided the sky is clear, I never fail to admire the many beautiful green lakes of fresh water that are scattered all over the mined over areas around Kuala Lumpur. I am very sure that if proper research is done by our Universities and Research Institutions, this hitherto non productive water bodies can produce many food items such as fresh water fish, prowns and other equatic animals that can not only feed our people but also exported to bring in much needed foreign exchange.
Since state governments are in control of these natural resources, I would urge that the new leadership in those Barisan Rakyat controlled states show their prowess at increasing national productivity by thinking hard at making this resources, besides others, more productive. After all, the Barisan Nasional led state governments had not done much over the last 50 years to turn this valuable assets into "gold". If they can do it, it will indeed be an eye opener.
