Malaysia, despite its abundance of lakes, faces significant pollution in many of them. This might come as a surprise, but it highlights the need for a more mindful approach to maintaining public spaces.

In a recent video posted by @foundermisi (Faiz), a determined group of locals embarked on a mission to clean up and restore a public lake in Puncak Alam. The video shows the lake choked with plastic and other debris, prompting a group of Malaysians to take action and organize a cleanup.
Faiz highlighted that their mission is driven by a deep sense of responsibility and commitment to their community in Puncak Alam. He explained that the effort involves teams from both Founder Cafe and HQ Misi, totaling 40 dedicated individuals working together to make a positive change in their neighborhood.
These community service activities are scheduled weekly, and they ensure to provide meals for all participants before starting the cleanup. "We hold our community service events once a week. To show our appreciation, we provide meals for everyone before we begin. We must take responsibility for the state of our planet," Faiz mentioned.
Faiz also explained that the pollution in Puncak Alam Lake isn't from people littering directly into it. Instead, trash flows into the lake from the drains whenever it rains, leading to the recurring problem.

Harap tiada yang komen kami fokus macam-macam Misi.. Ini cuma tanggungjawab kami terhadap kawasan Puncak Alam, tempat kami duduk. . Dan semua dalam video ni adalah team Founder Cafe dan Team HQ Misi seramai 40 orang. Ni sebagai aktiviti khidmat masyarakat sebelum aktiviti bawa semua team meals entertainment seminggu sekali. . Food delivery berjalan seperti biasa dan sedang melalui peralihan ke fasa korporat. . Saya cuma nak sampaikan bahawa “kita kena bertanggungjawab ke atas apa yang terjadi di atas bumi ini” ❤️
