Penang Fire

It has been like long long time since i written yet another blog.

i was just finish reading a news about Penang tragedy which had taken a life of a 3 years old young girl.

It was very sad for me at the very least. The girl was being burned to death by a fire breakout in her grandparents house. During the fire, her grandfather was working, only her grandmother was around, her grandmother had tried her best to save both her and her elder 5 years old brother, but unfortunately, she was just able to save her brother. She was going to went back in for her but the fire was spreading too fast and the girl was been burnt during her peaceful sleep.

Her parents were working in another state, hence leaving their children to their grandparents.
This nevertheless cause a mental breakdown among the girl's family. Her grandfather nearly fainted upon realizing his granddaughter's death. Her grandmother was blaming herself for not able to save her. Her mother was crying and can't accept the fact that her daughter is dead. Her father was sad but taken the truth by saying 'if god wants her back, i can only accept the decision made.' Her brother was asking 'where is his sister?' when he wakes up in hospital although he realized that his sister is already dead.

This is yet another tragedy after the Taiping bus accident at the North-South Highway which took 20 lifes.

Although Malaysia is a natural-disaster free country, but careless, selfishness and irresponsibility can be our greatest 'disaster' ever.

Let's have a minute silence and pray for the dead so that they will pass on to the light.
