What has the world become?

Just read a post from Kenny Sia and he was commenting on the few deaths reported happening lately. Firstly, there was 'La Idler' Sondra, a blogger from Singapore who passed away due to a rare blood disorder. But this was not the main news. It's was Van Tuong Nguyen's execution and Khairul Anuar Salim's death that has upset many.

It made me realise, our life is so fragile and we may just lose it anytime. In the first case, to me it's just fate. But the other 2 was something completely avoidable. It ended up with 2 people losing their life due to someone else's actions, one for helping his brother clearing a debt but unfortunately chose the wrong path in doing so and the other merely because he wasn't having enough money at that time to pay for his admission deposits. Here's the link to Kenny Sia's post. It also leads to Jeff Ooi's comments.

What has the world gone into? What has Malaysia gone into? How can we claim ourselves civilized when such things are happening?

  • when my friend was involved in an accident, they got the injured guy to the hospital and the hospital wanted 10 k deposit b4 they started operating. So no choice but to transfer to a gov hospital. Good thing the guy didnt die

  • hhhmmm....
    Gone were the days where a surgery cost below 1k. Now even for minor surgeries it'll cost thousands. This is daylight robbery. Maybe we should consider running a hospital rather doin IT

    hahaha... then we can hav a policy of being the cheapest with the best service
