The senseless killing of a year 1 student of UniTAR by 2 heartless robbers
jolted the whole Malaysian nation up. A smart, deligent boy lost his life just
because of a hand phone and some cash, (being a student I don't think he would
have a lot with him). While we all were disturbed by the long list of unsolved
rape-cum-murder cases, and the snatching handbags injuries (some were fatal)
were almost daily news, but this one really shakes everyone. We finally realize
it is no longer safe to allow our children to walk Malayisan streets without
adult companions. And again, a year 1 uni boy is almost an adult already, right?
Yet this tragedy tells us that it is still not safe for a person at that age to
go out alone nowadays. Will somebody do some thing to make it safe for our
children to walk on the streets again, please? Not long ago, the Senior Minister
of Singapore Mr Lee Kuan Yew criticised that Malaysia is not a safe place to
live in. We were so furious at his remarks, saying unkind words towards him,
even calling him names. But if he were to repeat his words are we still so
indignant about it all? Aren't what he said proven true, now?
