Serasa Beach, a tourist attraction?





I was reading an article in our local newspaper not too long ago that Serasa beach with its pristine beach and serene surrounding is a tourist attraction. So at one weekend I brought my kids and wife to do our bit of KNK (Kenali Negara Ku, our tourism promo to encourage us explore our own backyard instead of going overseas).  When we were there, I was in for a bit of shock.  I wasn't sure if I would agree with the author of the article because what I saw was not exactly something that I would describe as pristine. There were all kinds rubbish strewn on both sides of the beaches and I had to say that the scene was appalling. With all the rubbish thrown all over the place, I couldn't believe that there were still kids and parents who would take a dip in the polluted water.  The question is who ought to be responsible in cleaning this up?
