A giant replica of an Aedes mosquito at the Ministry of Health booth. The Aedes mosquito could be breeding in stagnant water in your clog drains. Its our duty to destroy it as no aedes means no dengue.
A day to recognize, to love and to care for our drains in our houses? Yup, that’s absolutely right!
Initially I thought it was a joke or some typo error in the invitation card but make no mistake it was the drains they were serious about when I attended the My Drains Day carnival held at Taman Tasik Bandaran in Kelana Jaya last Sunday March 1, 2009.
The project is aimed at creating significant environmental awareness and knowledge of drain pollution and the river basin concept, its harmful effects on health and environment and encouraging the people to manage their resource responsibility.

All drains lead to lakes and rivers and so anything that we throw into the drains will end up in our rivers and lakes without any treatment or filtered for pollutions and which are our source of drinking water.
The project was an initiative of Global Environment Centre (GEC) and has the support of Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ) and is sponsored by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI).
GEC is a non-profit non-government organization (NGO) registered in Malaysia in 1998 to work on environmental issues of global importance.
Effects of drain pollution can be harmful. Drain pollution affects health and harms the environment. For example, clog drains can be breeding ground for mosquito which can pose health risk and creates unpleasant odours to humans.
Our drain is meant for rainwater only. Anything, other than pure rainwater, is a potential contaminant that degrades water quality.
Now do you care for your drain?
