Olympia College, Kuantan Celebrates Founders Day 2010 with “Go Green” Activity

To celebrate the Founder’s Day in a different way, the staff and students of Olympia College, Kuantan
campus made a trip to Sungai Lembing. Sungai Lembing is a tin mining town, 42 km northwest of
Kuantan in Pahang, Malaysia.

‘Lembing’ is a Bahasa Malaysia word for Spear, and "Sungai" means River. The local legend states that
the local Ruler saw a vision of a spear in the river nearby and thus named this town after his vision.

The staff of OC Kuantan - Mr Suresh and Ms Kamala had organized this trip with the assistance of Mr
Surya and Mr Eddy.

The group started their climb to Sungai Lembing Hill at 6.30 am and once they had reached the hill, they
made a declaration to create awareness and support the “Go Green” environment.

Thereafter, they visited the Sungai Lembing museum. The Pahang Sungai Lembing Museum was
established to remember the glorious days of Sungai Lembing town, as the richest producer of tin in the
country.
There are few hanging bridges at Sungai Lembing to connect the people from the other side of the river
to the main town. The students were very excited when they went for a walk on the hanging bridge.

Mr Sundar, the principal of OC Kuantan thanked the organizers and all staff and students who have made
this event a great success.

“We care for our Students, we care for One Malaysia and we care the World.” he added.

The Declaration to Create Awareness on “Go Green” Environment

 Educational institutions are responsible for teaching and training millions of people. Colleges are
at the hub of local and regional economies and our influence stretches far and wide. We therefore
have a critical role to play in protecting the environment and showing the way forward to all.
Today, we, staff and students of OLYMPIA COLLEGE KUANTAN will pledge to go green in
all areas of our business.

 Climate change is a concern for each of us. Solutions are within our grasp and are ready to be
implemented by individuals, communities, businesses and governments around the globe. Going
green is about making a demonstration and a declaration of our hope and concerns for the future
of our planet.

 We declare that we are going to do our best to go green in the future. It will mean reducing waste
in every way. Too much of what's convenient is also bad for the environment. We also declare
that our eco friendly actions are more than just a gesture. We will strive to walk instead of
driving, going easy on the gas when we are driving, changing out our light bulbs, using reusable
water bottles. Some other ways are to go green are to print less, use less plastics, recycle, plant a
tree, grow your own vegetables, print only if necessary, off the lights and water when not in use.
All this will makes a huge difference.

 We will be at the forefront to change people's behaviors and promote greater respect for the
environment wherever possible.
