Tenaga Nasional Berhad planning to sue the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) for organising the Earth Hour

A spoof about Tenaga Nasional Berhad planning to sue the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) for organising the Earth Hour campaign posted on a website has riled some people who are unaware that it was a fictitious news report.

The entry, posted on nose4news.wordpress.com, which contains fictional news articles, claimed TNB would be suing WWF for organising the worldwide campaign that was costing the national power provider “millions in unrealised revenue.”

However, there were some who appeared to be taken in by the article based on the unflattering comments they left about the national power provider.

The article was also posted on the social media Facebook, drawing more negative comments about TNB from people who were unaware about the nature of the website that first carried the article.

The article was posted on Thursday but was removed from the site Saturday afternoon.

Petronas Twin Tower in support for earth hour 2010

It was lights-off by 8.30pm at the Petronas Twin Towers Saturday night as the 2010 Earth Hour was observed for an hour.

All non-essential lights at Suria KLCC, including the retail centre’s facade, were turned off for a full 60 minutes. Many retailers and eateries were seen joining in the global conservation effort and patrons were seen dining by candlelight.

By 7.45pm, the compound of Suria KLCC was filled with thousands of people, all eagerly waiting for the lights of the twin towers to be switched off, section by section.

The crowd started to cheer as the lights were switched off starting from the upper section of the towers.

A group of six college students stood out in the crowd as they lit up tea-light candles, arranged in the shape of the figure “60”, symbolizing the Earth Day hour-long lights-off.
