Last Thursday, we embarked on a meaningful road trip to Morib Beach for a clean-up event with the dedicated students and teachers from King Henry VIII, Cyberjaya. At first glance, Morib Beach seemed relatively clean, but a closer inspection revealed an alley of trash hidden between the rocks just over the wave barrier.
Despite observing the fasting month of Ramadan, our resilient volunteers didn’t hesitate to tackle the challenging task of removing deeply embedded fishing nets and other debris from the crevices. Their hard work and determination paid off, resulting in the collection of a significant 104.3 kilograms of trash. Impressively, 45.35 kilograms of this total were recyclable materials, highlighting the importance of sorting and proper disposal during clean-up efforts.

These young volunteers not only contributed to the cleanliness of Morib Beach but also set an example for others to follow. Their efforts emphasize the importance of beach clean-ups in maintaining the beauty and health of our coastal areas.
Gratitude and Encouragement
To the students and teachers of King Henry VIII, Cyberjaya, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your commitment and hard work, especially during Ramadan, are truly commendable. We wish you all the best in your upcoming exams and look forward to seeing you at future clean-up events.
Join Us in Making a Difference
Beach clean-ups are vital in addressing the growing problem of marine pollution. Each piece of trash removed from our beaches prevents potential harm to marine life and contributes to a cleaner, healthier environment. We encourage everyone to participate in local clean-up efforts and support initiatives that promote environmental sustainability.
Together, we can make a significant impact. Let’s continue to work towards cleaner beaches and a greener planet.
