Question 2

I know a funny little man, As quiet as a mouse,

Who does the mischief that is done, ln everybody's house! There's no one ever sees his face, And yet we all agree That every plate we break was cracked

By

Mr.Nobody

He puts damp wood upon the fire, That kettles cannot boil; His are the feet that bring in mud, And all the carpets soil. The papers always are mislaid, Who had them last but he? There's no one tosses them about

But Mr.Nobody
The fingers marks upon the door,

This he who always fears our books, Who leaves the door ajar, pulls He the buttons from our shirts, And scatters pins afar, That squeaking door will always squeak, For, pritheeo don't you see, We leave the oiling to be done, 2 Bv. Mr.Nobodv

By none of us are made,

We never leave the blinds unclosed, To let the curtiains fade; The ink we never spill; the boots, That lying round you see, not our boots - they all belong Are

To Mr.Nobodv

Read the letter below and answer the question thntfollows. Dear Sis' PROTEST AGAINST CB.Ehtr{TCIRIUM

I reprrsrnt the rasidenis of Kampung Melana and 'it"ould like to coil'ey our plotest against thr crsrnatorium that is located barely l0 mrtres from a rou of houses in Kampung Melana. Thr crenraioriurn is operated by yor-ln tor.n council. Thirty years ago, about 500 houses rvere built in Kampung Melana for cirjl sfl.l'ants. Most of us used up all our savings to buy our farnily homes. Ten year:s after rnoving in, r*'e rvrre hore'ified to lrarn that the space originally gasetted as a grcrn lung was to he drteloped into a crematorium. We leave repeatedly cornplainrd about siting thr crernatorium so nrar to homes. Our complaints hal'e all faHen on deaf ears. We are left to battle with the pcllntion emanating frorn the crematoriurn, nhich recent studies conducted abroad Frat'e indicated lead to cancerand severe respiratory diseases.
My Xetter today is to seek your reply on the follon'ing points: r }Iarr any studirs been done locally on the harrnful effecls of the gasrs rekasrd frorn crrrnations?

.
r

If no, can such a study be cornn:issioned soon? What are thr guidclines adopted rvhen zoning ilreas for crernatoriums? Specificall3l are crematoriurns allorved to opnate rvithin a rrsidential arra? When a creinatoriurn ol other facility is built, ttrere should be sufficient parking areas designated for the facility: Sadly this is not the case and we have to put up ll.ith haphazard parking whrn a crematicn is being conducrd. What are your plans to ovrrcome this problem? Sorne cerernonirs are held at ail houns of the day and night. The noise frorn such crrqrnrnier krepe us arr,ake , Hon'do you prapose to deal u'ith this?

Our quality of life has suffered all these )'f,ars. In fact, there are ten residents u'ho are suffedng frorn various tvpes of cancrs. The ry.restion uppsrmost on ow minds is whether this high rats of cancer is dirrctly renated to the pollution from the c:'ematorium? When rvill the crematorium be relosated lo a wrore suitable location?
