You have been a encampment leader. If we were truly concerned about a reserve /well-being of your people, what should we do ? There have been actually lot of things which we could do bearing in mind, of course, which your time as well as resources have been likely to be limited. How do we prioritize ?
One great approach to prioritize your efforts is to examine what have been a biggest threats to your people. Determine what causes a biggest threats or risks to your people as well as concentration your courtesy upon it. It is similar to this. Lets say 3 ogres have been approaching your village. The ugly but small Ogre A is able of murdering 1000 people per hour. Ogre B is able of murdering 100 people per hour. The enormous but cute Ogre C is able of murdering usually 10 people per hour. Given which all of us have singular resources, it is flattering viewable which we should concentration upon bringing down Ogre A since which approach we could save a most series of people.
Unfortunately, this is where most leaders mostly fail. Why ? Because most of us have a bent to concentration upon appearing to protect their people from voluptuous threats (i.e. threats which attract media attention, threats which sound scary) even though these threats have been mostly really minor compared to alternative paltry causes which kill most some-more people.
What do we meant by paltry threats ? Road trade accidents. Road accidents kill a lot of people in Malaysia. Lots. But because dont we find politicians or NGOs with placards standing by a roadside demanding improvements in highway safety. Why have been there no facebook campaigns to reduce highway accidents ? Why dont a MCA, PAS, PKR, etc put significant vigour upon a supervision to urge highway reserve ? Why dont these people crash upon a door of a JPJ or Road Safety Department ? Very easy answer! . It is not sexy.
Now, let's look at Kuantan. It is loyal which a Lynas plant po! ses a ce rtain amount of risk to a surrounding population. However if we live in Gebeng, Kuantan, a chances of we failing due to a highway accident is many, many, many, many, many, most times aloft than we failing of cancer due to a Lynas plant. The chances of we failing of food poisoning or mildew due to poor sanitation, choking upon food, have been approach aloft than removing any form of cancer from Lynas or alternative industrial comforts in Gebeng.
Folks, we need to protect a peoples health as well as urge their well-being. The most appropriate approach to do it is to concentration a efforts upon a ugly Ogre A, not a voluptuous Ogre C. Even a simple paltry thing similar to campaigning to urge highway reserve will produce a thousand times some-more benefits than campaigning to stop Lynas. If all a people who have been campainging opposite Lynas have put in a same bid into urge a reserve of a roads, we could have saved a thousand times some-more lives. But then, highway reserve is not really sexy. sigh.

1. we think most people have been going to hate me for posting this article.
2. Let me also validate by observant thatI have no interest whatsoever in Lynas. we have not worked for them neither do we intend to work for them.
3. Before we go rambling about voluntary as well as contingent risks, a lot of a risks upon a highway have been also involuntary. When we have been walking, when we have been strike by someone else, etc.
