One week after fake news of the death of former Philippine President Corazon Aquino was circulated via sms, the real thing kicked in on 1st August. She passed away after battling with colon cancer for more than a year. She carried the torch of democracy for the Filipinos and let's hope that this torch will lit forever in the hearts of not only the Filipinos but all pro-democracy people. May she rest in peace. Sad...And I learn today that someone I know, passed away yesterday. Although we are not friends but I know her son who was a figure skater years back. He was such a charming boy and has never failed to acknowledge me when we were at the ice rink. Losing your mum at such a young age is really heart breaking. Hope he and his sister would be strong. May his mum rest in peace. Sad...
A 10 year old girl from Perak died of A H1N1, making it the 5th in our country. And she didn't seek medical attention too late. It's the medical attention that she got were too late to save her! Is this her fault or her family's fault? Who are you to blame now? The medical officers who took her situation lightly or just push the responsibilities aside by saying, "Oh, we thought it was a just common flu and we did follow medical procedures, she didn't show any signs of .... and we did treat her accordingly....and..blah blah blah... Sigh...! My heart goes out to her family. Sad...
Why does our government has to act like big bullies? Why are they arresting peaceful demonstrators who are just trying to have their rights heard? Why are they acting like as though there was a riot going on? Why are they arresting children, detaining them in jail and denying them food? Why are they denying us of our rights as a citizen of a democratic country?
Why does it have to end this way? Or is this only the beginning? So sad...
