Caution !
The trend of the palm oil export is decreasing slowly for many
countries between 2002 and 2003. By comparing the palm oil export
in both years we can detect that many countries experience a slight
decline in the palm oil export except China. The export to India
decrease from 15% in 2002 to 14% in 2003. However, the trend
is different with China that only shows an insignificant increase of palm
oil export from 17% in 2002 to 20% in 2003.
Overall, we can conclude that Malaysias palm oil export to China
is the highest in both 2002 and 2003.

From the data of the bar graph, we can see the highest number
of river that can be classified as clean is in 2005 of 500 rivers and
the lowest is in 2003 of 200 rivers. The highest number of river
classified as polluted is 250 rivers in 2001 and the lowest is 100
rivers in 2005.
The trend of the river water quality that classified as clean is
increasing gradually from 250 rivers in 2001 to 500 rivers in 2005.
The trend of river water quality classified as polluted is decreasing
steadily from 250 rivers in 2001 to 100 rivers in 2005. By comparing
the quality of clean rivers each year, we can detect that the numbers
of clean river remain the highest compared to polluted rivers. This is
because of the steps taken to ensure the good quality of the rivers.
Overall, we can conclude that with proper steps taken to maintain
the good quality of the river, we can have cleaner environment. The
number of polluted river can be reduced each year.

Juvenile delinquents.
The number of juvenile delinquents is increasing each year. Most of the cases involved are vandalism on public buildings
and utilities. The next serious crime involves gang fights, bullying and petty theft followed by immoral activities.
The root cause is of course the home. Almost all the cases involve students whose parents are busy working or that they do
not monitor their childrens activities. They do not spend enough time on their children and they do not know what their young
ones are up to once they leave home.
Some parents are too lenient with their children. They often pamper them by giving them too much pocket money.
Sometimes they are not aware of where their children go at night, a time when they should be at home doing or revising their
schoolwork.
If parents do not check on their children movement, later on the children will end up mixing with bad company. Through
bad influence, they may indulge in drug-taking or involve in fights among rival groups. Even schools and police may find it is
difficult to deal with these spoilt juveniles.
Those already involve in these activities should be given proper counselling by their school counsellors. Instead of giving
them corporal punishment or suspension from school, they should be asked to do some community services like taking part in a
gotong royong programme. The juvenile delinquents can be curbed if all parties take a drastic steps before it becomes a
social disease.
