FORGET AND FORGIVE AND YOU HAVE THIS...

When the wrath of God comes, nobody will be safe

Everything is not rosy for everyone sooner or later He will test us in ways unforeseeable to us but we have been forewarned and thus we should have been prepared for any eventualities. Condolence to the landslide victims at Bukit Antarabangsa and hopefully they will strong to face this calamity. Many have given reasons for the calamity but none have really point out that such horrible incident may be a 'punishment' for what they have done. Punishment? Well, for start their act of 'raping' the environment for their grandiose living. Hillsides may offer picturesque view unchallenged by others but they seem to forget that the environment has its unique ways of revenge unscrupulous people.

Furthermore, there may be unhealthy activities going on there but many turn to look the other way since they do not want to offend their wealthy and powerful neighbours. For the sake of argument, the residents have known for years that their neighbourhood is an environmental time bomb since the area is actually a water catchment site. Water means the land there is not as strong as other places as it is prone to movement. They should think of the facts which are glaring at them when they first decide to reside there and now it is too late as life have been lost in the process.

As always when there are horrible incidents like such many will offer their opinions and views and not less are pointing fingers which actually point towards themselves. This will go on for a time and gradually when the dust settle down then everyone will forget and worse of all forgive the culprits. Malaysians are well-known for such 'angelic' but foolish trait though they have lost their loved ones but it is alright to hug and kiss afterwards. Such forgiving and forgetful society we have here and who say that we are not united?

Now, everyone want to offer helping hands to those wealthy people in Bukit Antarabangsa with names like Bukit Mewah as the name for their opulent and luxurious residence. It is good indeed but they are the cream of the cream of the society do they really need monetary assistance? I really doubt it. My two cents - don't get duped since they are wealthier than those who are chipping in.

Calamity is the perfect glass wherein we truly see and know ourselves - William Davenant
