Insensitive Malaysians

I was driving to work yesterday when I heard the brief news on Hot FM.... Ibubapa Jazlin boleh didakwa... My initial thoughts ...."What the F#$%?".

My god, they have just buried their child, after a month of searching and hope.... such statement should not have been made. People make mistakes, which parent that have not suddenly lose their child in a shopping complex??? Sometimes just a second of being non vigilant the child is lost into the crowd...

It is not a time to finger point at the easiest target, i.e the parents. It's a time to look at our social context and what we really teach the children... In the past there were not as many psychos lurking around, and knowing Wangsa Maju, the area is family orientated... The only mistakes the parents may have done is trusting their neighbourhood to much, and letting their guards down.

First and foremost, I think that investigation of what happened and identification and eventual arrest of the culprit should be the utmost importance. This is to prevent other innocent children from becoming victims.... Not just this particular fiend, but all those sex fiend that has been terrorizing our society.

Second, we need to educate parents to be more vigilant. Our parenting skills are usually hand-downs i.e we care for our children as our parents care for us. Some neighbourhoods in the past were so safe that children ran around playing with no worries at all. Now, the present parents have to be like the Westerners "Do not talk to strangers"; "Do not follow others"; "Only mommy will pick you up from school"...

Lastly, we have to re-instill the good neighbours attitude in our society. This is especially in the towns where people are so used to 'not minding other people business'. If a child gets pulled in to a car...and things looked suspicious people should be a busy body and just poke their nose in... if it's nothing, it's nothing. But if it is something serious or criminal then you may have actually helped the situation...but who knows.

I am so sad for the demise of the child but I am also so angry at the insensitive satement made. Bloody hell, if you have nothing constructive to say "SHUT UP"...

Another group of people I am pissed throughout the recent events are the STUPID INSENSITIVE so called journalists of a leading TV station... after the discovery of the body and the DNA results a lady 'journalist' interviewed the deceased sister who was sobbing away..."Who do you think is the dead body"....."I don't know"...."Then you mean it is not your sister??"..."No...."... " Then if it's not your sister, where is your sister??"... Arrghhh... stupid fart, a person (and mind you this is a child) is trying to cope with the news of a dead family member and you try and sensationalise that they do not admit it's their sibling.... People need time to accept...

Just wait, raya is coming soon... same stupid journalist will be out prowling looking for families that have lost their member during the Raya Rush Home.... Same standard line of questioning..year after year....." Jadi apa perasaan Puan tentang Hari Raya tahun ini..."... Uh duh??? that is surely a RM 1 000 000 question.... and then the cameraman would zoom in on the sobbing faces... Vultures!!!!
