Question
2
I know a funny little man,
As quiet as a mouse,
Who does the mischief that is done,
ln everybody's house!
There's no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
By Mr.Nobody 1
This he who always fears our books,
Who leaves the door ajar,
He pulls the buttons from our shirts,
And scatters pins afar,
That squeaking door will always squeak,
For, pritheeo don't you see,
We leave the oiling to be done,
Bv. Mr.Nobodv 2
He puts damp wood upon the fire,
That kettles cannot boil;
His are the feet that bring in mud,
And all the carpets soil.
The papers always are mislaid,
Who had them last but he?
There's no one tosses them about
But Mr.Nobody
The fingers marks upon the door,
By none of us are made,
We never leave the blinds unclosed,
To let the curtiains fade;
The ink we never spill; the boots,
That lying round you see,
Are not our boots
-
they all belong
To Mr.Nobodv

Dear Sis'
PROTEST AGAINST CB.Ehtr{TCIRIUM
I reprrsrnt the rasidenis of Kampung Melana and
'it"ould
like to coil'ey our plotest against thr crsrnatorium
that is located barely l0 mrtres from a rou of houses in Kampung Melana. Thr crenraioriurn is operated
by yor-ln tor.n council.
Thirty years ago, about 500 houses rvere built in Kampung Melana for cirjl sfl.l'ants. Most of us used up all
our savings to buy our farnily homes. Ten year:s after rnoving in, r*'e rvrre hore'ified to lrarn that the space
originally gasetted as a grcrn lung was to he drteloped into a crematorium.
We leave repeatedly cornplainrd about siting thr crernatorium so nrar to homes. Our complaints hal'e all
faHen on deaf ears. We are left to battle with the pcllntion emanating frorn the crematoriurn, nhich recent
studies conducted abroad Frat'e indicated lead to cancerand severe respiratory diseases.
My Xetter today is to seek your reply on the follon'ing points:
r
}Iarr any studirs been done locally on the harrnful effecls of the gasrs rekasrd frorn crrrnations?
If no, can such a study be cornn:issioned soon?
r
What are thr guidclines adopted rvhen zoning ilreas for crernatoriums? Specificall3l are crematoriurns
allorved to opnate rvithin a rrsidential arra?
.
When a creinatoriurn ol other facility is built, ttrere should be sufficient parking areas designated for
the facility: Sadly this is not the case and we have to put up ll.ith haphazard parking whrn a crematicn
is being conducrd. What are your plans to ovrrcome this problem?
r
Sorne cerernonirs are held at ail houns of the day and night. The noise frorn such crrqrnrnier krepe us
arr,ake , Hon'do you prapose to deal u'ith this?
Our quality of life has suffered all these
)'f,ars.
In fact, there are ten residents u'ho are suffedng frorn
various tvpes of cancrs. The
ry.restion
uppsrmost on ow minds is whether this high rats of cancer is
dirrctly renated to the pollution from the c:'ematorium? When rvill the crematorium be relosated lo a wrore
suitable location?
