Terrible Tragedy....

Hi Folks,


A nice weekend and suddenly all of us just shocked to face the same music; yes another landslide event and this time 16 lives mostly children were gone.

No doubt landslide is a natural phenomena, but one always wonder what could be biggest factor that caused it to happen? Of course some say blame it on the rain and weather, but realizing it is us humans yes we are responsible because population is growing and more land needs to be developed for new township and etc.

Ironically; this is not the first time such landslide tragedy occurred in Malaysia. Enough of politics, ping-pong, and gridlock; we are all accountable. Everybody from the highest leadership to the normal 'john' on the road share that responsibility. Perhaps we must be tougher in ensuring that any development at the hillside or slope must take into consideration the geology and safety aspect before any approval can take place.

The weather is erratic at times; well thanks to man! The point is we can't always react to the same tune over again and requesting investigation and etc etc. With this sort of tune still linger on, not surprised that there will be more landslide to come and sadly more innoncent lives will be lost. Better act now than never. No more talk, get that action please.
