SWAT TEAM IN ACTION !

SWAT TEAM IN ACTION !  This special SWAT members was seen at our riverbanks today at around 10.00 am, cutting the overgrown weed. Special Weed Action Team @ SWAT comprises of at least 18 strong man of Bangladeshi and Indian nationalities swarmed into action cutting the overgrown weeds as part of the monthly periodic maintenance system of our river contracted from MBSA.


TWO KILOMETERS LENGTH LEFT & RIGHT. They are cutting at least two kilometres of length distance of weed using metal blades not the thick  yellow nylon wires. 

UNTIL THE EDGE OF THE RIVER : This is quite a tricky situation. You may slipped and fall into the one feet deep river, you might accidentally decapitate a snake head or monitor lizard. If you are lucky, you might stumble onto a dead body. Anything is possible to find things floating from this 60 km Damansara river. 

VISIBLE ATTIRE : The contract are worth RM20k per month covering a distance of more than two kilometres of river bank, rubbish must be collected and weed cut must be removed. Very thin margin as you need quite an army of SWAT members for this mission.  As mentioned by one of the supervisor Kamarul @ Bangla spokesman's. They seems to understand very well on how contracts are awarded by the local counsel.  

SAFETY IS A MUST. Cutting these weeds can be adventurour and dangerous. Safety boots is a must as you will definately stumbled on some snakes guaranteed to be the residence of this river bank.
