Once upon a time, there was a man blessed with good fortune from a goose that laid golden eggs. The goose laid eggs daily, but the man was greedy. He wanted more eggs, quickly, to get rich faster. Thinking he could get all the gold the goose had to give, he killed the poor creature, only to find nothing on cutting it open.
That simple Aesop’s Fable, “The Goose That Laid Golden Eggs”, carries much truth for us today. The fat goose that was once Malaysia, so savagely stripped and plucked of her abundant wealth in recent years, is now in a pitifully scrawny state. The ruthless rape and plundering of our environment, driven by a hunger to make a quick buck, has taken us to a perilous point.
