TNB VS WWF

As the title of the post suggests, it is a fight between Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), your friendly neighbourhood energy supplier against the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF), not the World Wrestling Federation. That one if you don't vote for WWF to win you love Malaysia too much. Good thing for TNB that this is not a fight of brawn agaisnt brawn but a legal fight. TNB is suing WWf for organizing Earth Hour.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, you heard me right. TNB wants to SUE WWF for trying to conserve energy and promote coonservasion awareness. The world is clearly coming to an end when altruistic intentions become a pain in someone elses ass. So why is TNB suing WWF? Because TNB president and CEO Dato’ Sri Che Khalib Mohd Noh won't get his fat year end bonus salary this year as he thought he would. Mr Che here says that TNB is losing money in that one hour when lights are swtiched off and that is a waste of energy.
This just shows you how much we care about the conservation of our planet. I mean, you can't turn off the power plants for just one hour? You could send the tech guys a memo to turn them off like A YEAR IN ADVANCE! Last years total net income was RM107.91 mil. Who says TNB isn't making money. You're not making money when you can use your fingers to count your profit.
The TNB CEO says to be pround of our lights. As a Malaysian, I am proud of our lights. I'd be more proud if I knew that every year, I can help mother earth to help keep producing electricity in the future because I had given her the only 1 hour break that she'll ever get in a year. Can someone educate this man on the conservation of the planet please?
The CEO calls the Earth Hour a 'cultural invasion, a concerted assault by extreme liberal forces aimed to destabilise poorer nations’. Hmm..sounds like he's expecting a take over of somekind. I don't know about you guys but to show the whole world that we care about the environment and conservation of the planets resources by switching off for just an hour doesn't seem so bad. What kind of image do you think countries will have on Malaysia when the case goes public, which it most probably will. It's not rocket science people.
"Let’s unite as 1Malaysia, and tell these green terrorists that we will not go dark! We will not switch off! Let’s tell them that we love our lights!" Mm.. Malaysia boleh.
