Kerosakan

Kerosakan is a Malay word that translates to "damage" or "destruction" in English. It is a broad term used to describe a state of being harmed, broken, or rendered unusable. This can apply to physical objects, infrastructure, natural environments, or even abstract concepts.

In the context of physical objects, kerosakan might refer to a broken appliance, a damaged vehicle, or a crumbling building. Infrastructure damage, or kerosakan infrastruktur, could encompass roads, bridges, or power lines that have been rendered non-functional due to wear and tear, accidents, or natural disasters. The environment can also experience kerosakan, such as deforestation, pollution, or soil erosion. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe damage to reputation, relationships, or financial stability.

The causes of kerosakan are varied and can include natural phenomena like earthquakes, floods, and storms, as well as human actions such as negligence, accidents, or deliberate acts of vandalism. The extent of kerosakan can range from minor cosmetic flaws to complete structural failure. Understanding the nature and cause of kerosakan is often the first step in assessing the necessary repairs or mitigation efforts.
