Not Another One!

I think Malaysians are very thick-skulled; you have one accident that caused a huge public outcry (mainly because it was highlighted in the media), a lot of fussing, browbeating and pledges from authorities, and then subsequently delegated to the back of their minds, and finally forgotten. And the accidents continue on. So what was all the fuss about anyway?


So here we are with yet another highly-publicised incident to stir the nation into a frenzy - except that this time it happened not on our highway, but the waterway. Now we hear of the same old music, but of a slightly different tune - ferry licence expired, inadequate life jackets, a different captain was piloting the boat, etc. And yet again we have the authorities making their usual comments. After all the drama, I just wonder how much Malaysians actually learn from these incidents. Not much I gather.

So we've got one on the road and one on the high seas. You know what this means? Another mishap is in the air...literally. And I certainly pray that does not happen.
