Tragic Accidents Shouldn't Have Happened
To lose your loved ones is one of the worst predicaments that one should face or the worst even because it is really not a situation you want to be in as it's not something you can get it over easily. Though death is inevitable and that you just have to learn to accept that it can happen to anyone everyone, I just think it should not have happened sooner and that suddenly, he or she leaves you for eternity.
While others were busy ushering in the New Year, recent tragic accidents in Malaysia where a double decker bus overturned and a boat capsized killing many people on board, remind us that life is precious and in the midst of taking a break from our busy lifestyles, unexpected things may happen.
It's sad how we actually put our lives on the line if the tour agencies are mainly interested in making as much profits as they can during the year end holidays when many tourists will visit for a break. Our safety is then compromised when they tried to squeeze as many people as they can on board. While I'm not condemning Malaysia after these two incidents, the fact that I have been there and been scared of my life traveling long distance on their rather dark highways and narrow winding roads, I much rather not visit the country often despite their things being cheaper after currency exchange. I've mentioned before in my previous post that it will do them good with less political drama and more into building their nation in terms of their country's infrastructure which include the roads as well. With acres and acres of land used to grow plantations such as palm trees and rubber trees, I don't think they have to worry much about making money because they have the raw materials that can bring in the dough.. I would say they should do something about the road conditions such as building more lamp posts and have traffic lights that actually work.
I don't think the majority of their people really care if their politician is closeted or not with the accusations and this on going battle to clear his name. They are more interested in what the governments can do to help them in their social welfare. It's the same for any other countries including US where the people are more concerned about the government doing things that will help them such as providing more health care benefits and to provide more housing so that the homeless have a roof over their heads rather than just sleeping on the streets.
It's not easy to care for the nation, I know, especially if it is a big one where you can't expect that everyone will stand to benefit. But at least you have to start somewhere, you know. I'm sure many unfortunate accidents can be reduced if they can do something about road safety and also to impose regulations on the tourism business. They don't want to drive tourists away, do they?
As for now, my heart goes out the families who have lost their family members in these tragic accidents. Stay strong and united. The pain of losing them will always be there but the pain will subside as you know they are in good hands.
