Topic: Broga


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  GAIA
In an Open Letter signed by over 230 NGOs and individuals from 39 countries, Dr. Mahathir was exhorted not to close his eyes to the many scientific studies linking incineration to ill health and environmental destruction and pay attention to what the Rakyat (the local term for "people") are saying.
Residents of Broga and adjacent communities and public interest groups have asked the government to cancel the project, citing critical public health, environmental, socio-economic and financial risks.
Affected residents are disappointed and distressed with the blatant refusal of the authorities to discuss and dialogue with the Broga/Semenyih No Incinerator Protem Committee (www.no-incinerators.com), which represents community members from 25 housing estates and several villages in Broga and surrounding areas.

 Jurgis Baltrusaitis' Book Reviews - Bronius Vaskelis
Broga, an engineer by profession, is, no doubt, endowed with an unerring esthetic sense and a thorough knowledge of both the Russian and the Lithuanian language.
Nonetheless, even in a translation as outstanding as is Broga's, the ultimate poetic substance of Baltrušaitis' poetry remains untranslatable: some of the intricate imagery, the symbolic connotations and the exuberance of several of Baltrušaitis' poems are lost.
This is partly due to the fact that Broga focused his attention on preserving the rhythm, rhyme, and meter of the original.
