Some years ago a few professors at LESTARI talked and discussed about the Bangi School of Thoughts. Some of the ideas thrown into the air for discussion then include:-
1. Could LESTARI and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia spearhead a school of thought especially in sustainable development in Malaysia
2. Could LESTARI and UKM change how the citizens of UKM and Bandar Baru Bangi think and act on the environment and sustianbale development. At that time littering is a common sight in BBBangi and in fact it still is. How the citizens of Bangi solve the water crisis by using water sparingly in the weekends.... even the energy crisis by switching off their lights for just an hour a week.
3. Could the learned citizens of BBBangi and the staffs of UKM work together to create a more conducive atmosphere for learning and healthy living in the precint
4. Is BBBangi a university new town? After all the new township is sand-witched between UKM and UPM and FMI and other institutions
5. Have the citizens of BBangi attended the professors Syarahan Perdana? or any other public lectures constantly organised by UKM and her faculties and institutes
6. Has the rate of crimes, burglary, thefts, other social problems decrease? Many stories were told of car thefts, house-breakings, handbag snatching and even petty car accidents
Some food for thoughts!

I think that BBB is definitely a university new town as most of its dwellers are students and lecturers alike..But, their mindset is somehow quite far from what citizens of a university town should have. Quite sad, but I believe that UKM and LESTARI can do much more to help with the situation as these people are ignorant because they are not properly educated in a sense that they are not aware about the real situation with the environment.
Don't you think so?
Some food for your thoughts...
