Be cautious.

News items on page 2 (Home section) of today's Borneo Post :

  • Suspected latex robbery gang leader remanded

  • Three in family die in crash

  • SMK Agama Miri struck by second fire incident

  • Come home Liza, hubby appeals

  • Two friends killed when bike rammed from behind

  • Break-in : RM100,000 in cash and valuables gone

  • Road accidents claims three lives

  • Newborn found abandoned at rubbish dump

  • Sarawak soldier killed in road crash

  • Indonesian siblings killed in road accident in Klang

  • and "a picture of a car in a ditch"


Probably by now you get what I'm trying to say. We are bombarded with news piece that is pertinent to death. It's as if the whole page was written by the Grim Reaper himself. But I believe he could have done better at writing. However, the message is set.

People's lives are claimed daily. If they are not lost, they are abandoned.

But the road has taken many lives. Innocent, guilty, Sarawakian, Indonesian,  a soldier or Hannah Montana, it doesn't matter. All that we know is the victims are those who are not aware that they are going to leave this world early. May their souls not appear on the road in the middle of the night playing Poker with the other lost souls to claim more lives.

Drive carefully people. You have three mirrors in your car. Use them wisely. You have an indicator to well.. indicate. |:. Use it. It's saddening to see such devastating news furnishing the papers.
