     The Sibu Central Market is beautiful, magnificent and commanding in every way.  However, there are just too many fluorescent lights to feel it right.  The awareness of energy conservation of the lights installation contractor is near to nil.  What a shame! 

     The Sibu Central Market is but a market for business transactions.  The items for sale are big enough to see and even for detailed examination in the broad daylight.  People don’t come here for reading.  Therefore, we don’t need so many dazzling and glaring strong lights. 

     The fluorescent lights along the driveway are useless because the sunlight there is many times brighter than the artificial lights.  I only see the greed and ignorance of the light installation contractor here especially and the negligence of the authority concerned to oversee the work.

     The Sibu Central Market is but a market for business transactions not a centre for reading the printed words.  Hence, strong lighting is definitely not required at all.  Besides, fluorescent lights are also not necessary at all at the places where there is enough sunlight.

     Good gracious!  The stallholders or tax payers are just helpless to many types of taxes to pay.  They are just ignorant as helpless that the taxes they paid are often so wasted through the unnecessary fluorescent lights and electricity currents as well as poor management.  Moreover, they are unaware that they have the ‘artificial light bask’.  I wonder whether they believe that too much ‘artificial light bask’ can cause ‘cataract’ and affect an individual ‘biological clock’ in the long run.

     The artificial light is very useful at night and for dark places.  Alamat, how we abuse the artificial light during the daytime.  Wake up to the law of nature.  We have sunlight during the day, so say ‘No!’ to the artificial light.  Make use of the sunlight wherever and whenever we can. 

     Think over it:  How many artificial lights does the Sibu Central Market need  and how bright should the Sibu Central Market be during the daytime?  How many artificial lights does the Sibu Central Market need  and how bright should the Sibu Central Market be at night?

     Remember the proverb:  Waste not! Want not!; Want not! Waste not!
