Total disregard for cleanliness!

On the way home from breakfast this morning, while waiting at the traffic lights somewhere near Kolej Bandar Utama (KBU), I noticed something rather disturbing about the side of the road:

Not so clear in the picture? Here's another shot taken looking out my window to the right:

See the ugly truth now? Sadly, this is probably a common sight all over the country. It seems that people are irresponsibly throwing empty drink cartons, bottles, wrappers out their window with little regard for the environment. Puzzling that there is no clean-up crew going around clearing up this mess (or maybe there is, but the frequency of clean-up is too low).

Laws for littering in Malaysia appear to be virtually non-existent, or maybe they exist, but it's the enforcement that needs to kick into action. I know that in Singapore, it's a well known fact that littering can and is punishable by law, with a hefty fine slapped on to those who defiantly drop even a sweep wrapper onto the ground. Sadly, not here....

Obviously, the ones throwing the stuff out of the cars are adults (physically, though their mentality does not justify that title). Seeing grown-ups throw stuff out the window, who is to be blamed when children start to emulate them and eventually grow up into irresponsible litterbugs themselves?
