Who to blame?

Recalling the fatal bus tragedy killing 20 innocent lives.
I dun normally write this kinda things but this news has certainly touched me.

Talk a little bit about how things are run over here is wrong and is considered sensitive.

But when tragedies like this happen, who do we look at?

Deffinitely the driver is not fit to drive. But the bus company could not care less and is more concerned about profiting. Who controls the bus companies in Malaysia?

What saddens me is that innocent lives of Malaysians lost because of a human error. U think about it; someones father, mother, brother, sister, wife, husband, child, friend etc. , lost because of a mistake by someone. Lives parished just like that. The passengers (now victims) who had plans to return home to loved ones and spend good times together, now shattered forever by carelessness. NOTHING anyone can do for the victims families as compensation for what has happened. Life is just priceless!

If indeed the bus had been inspected thoroughly in the right manner and abiding by the rules and policies of the local authorities, it would be clear it was human error.

Deffinitely the steps taken in the past to eliminate such catastrophies is not working. Let's get up and brain-storn how we can solve this before it becomes an even worse national tragedy in the near future, God forbid.


Human error = driver error = unfit = 13 summons and 2 arrest warranties!

Solution: Interlink each and every citizens personal information with records of goverment agencies in one database. For an IT savvy nation, it is not a problem. We talk so much about how good we are, well it's time to put our talents to good use. I mean we have high end identity cards. Why cant the data be linked and incorporated together. Come on... just a little more work. Why not outsourcing if it is too hard to create something like this? Atleast it will be of bennefit and of good use back to the government.

On a more spiritual note, I pray that the lives lost will rest in peace and will find eternal peace in God's kingdom.
Not forgetting the lives of the families impacted by this gruesome human massacre.
