neighborhood are in progression! (ccording to the researchers# the factory believed
brought harm to the surrounding residents! Fith the establishment of the plant# it caused
the enviroment pollution and to list a few# chemical pollution# air pollution and noise
pollution! This will indirectly lead to the health of population would be threatened human
health! Therefore is not suitable plant construction in the settlements we built this.
Fith the establishment of the factory will be a cause of air around the housing we
will be contaminated! ( good Huality of fresh air is one of the necessary elements for our
health and comfortable life! *n other words# air pollution is affecting our human health!
The factory built will affect air pollution as a result of emission smoe e$4os and heavy
vehicles factory! ,olid particles and gas escapes into the air from factory will be a part of
the air contamination! 5ontaminated air is inhaled by the people resulting many diseases#
especially respiratory conseHuences of inhaling! 0espiratory system will absorb various
pollutants inhaled into the lungs! (ccording 0aIuna# 199& 6in /aridah bt Mohamad 200"7

on human organ systems of the two eyes and respiratory system! Thus# the plant should
not be built this housing area!

plant result from vehicles are one of the easiest enhance the heat and the heat and mae
the environment hot! 0esidents feel uncomfortable# hot and breathless! *n that case# we
are not able to enIoy the refresh air anymore!
,ound produced by construction machinery factory during operation will also be
the problem of population! Doud sounds produced by the factory will cause further noise
pollution detrimental to the health! (s a result of a lot of noise# people e$posed to the ris
of hearing loss# sleep disturbances# airless and aggressive the ne$t occurrence of
hypertension! (ccording to 0osen 6in Mulholland# 19817 states that noise can interfere
with the growth of children such as the sin becomes pale# dry mucous membranes#
intestinal cramps and idney damage!
The result of effluents from the plant also will result in chemical contamination
occurs! 5ontamination will occur when the plant residues or waste materials from
factories such as garbage# to$ic or poisonous substance in the surrounding area without
prior treatment! The ha4ardous waste will indirectly result in pollution of the surrounding
area! The garbage disposal will invite dangerous animals such as flies# cocroaches and
others! The animals will bring diseases to the people around! 0elease of chemical wastes
will result in contamination of ground water and the surrounding area!
*n conclusion# as if with the establishment of the factory has invited a variety of
pollutants# and then it should be canceled! *t is to avoid the threatened residents in terms
of health# comfort! Therefore# to avoid things that go wrong is better if the establishment
of the factory is not implemented! Malay proverb says that J*t is better to prevent than
cureJ!

wor of others# but acnowledged the wor as his owned wor! The issue of plagiarism is
an issue that increasingly difficult to contain because in many situations the students are
said not to have an intimate nowledge! (ccording to Director of 5orporate and
*nternational 0elations 9niversity of Malaya 69M7 (ssociate +rofessor Ehoo Teong 6in
the article <outh 20107 e$plained that the 9niversity has ,esyen '&# 5onstitution of the
9niversity of Malaya# which is any case of plagiarism# copying and cheating is a source
that can result in dismissal of students in universities!
(ccording to Director =eneral of .igher ;ducation# Datu Dr! 0adin 9mar 0adin
,ohadi 620097 in the <outh 2011 article states that the use of computers and the internet
to get information acHuired has led culture Kcut and pasteK! Thus# the development and
advancement of the internet is one of the weapons that facilitate these activities! That any
articles or articles appear as electronic te$t has facilitated activitiesJ cut and paste Kamong
students! The time allotted to complete a tas also resulted in limited criminal plagiarism!
( short time become a burden to the students in the responsibility for completing
assignments# and ultimately# the students will tae the easy way to do plagiarism to
complete the tas!

!o""#ni$ation
Therefore# the activity of plagiarism has brought many negative effects on all
parties! *t caused people to become la4y to thin! %y taing the easy way doing cut and
paste# an individual does not need to thin more widely and deeply on the tass given!
This limits the contributing of new ideas in the topic given!
(ny plagiarism activities will also lead to an idea of the original owner will be
victimi4ed! This is because# the rights of the original creation was manipulated by
individuals who have committed plagiarism! ,omeone rights to an idea that has been
taen over by others! This activity is also plagiarism will result in the loss of honesty and
diligence of the individual person involved! +lagarism is considered as interupt the
integrity of the peopleLs original wors and may carry over to not caring about other
things that belong to people as well!
+oor Huality of graduates is also the adverse effect will occur! =raduates who are
unable to competed in the arena of employment due to not have thought that at the level
of critical thining and creativity! 5onducted plagiarism will result in an e$cellent loo
only at the results have been obtained# but in actual fact they cannot thin at the reHuired
level! This is caused by a graduate does not now how to use their own common sense to
solve a problem and contribute new ideas are used to imitate due to other peopleJs wor!
Thus will be born graduates who only have e$cellence in 5=+( but it is not able
to mae something wor! Thus# the volume plagiarism is need attention by all parties in
order to avoid that it does not spread from day to day! Do not let it be capable of termite
damage to the country Iust because of youth become the mainstay of the country cannot
afford to stand on its own to compete in the international arena!
