Bukit Antarabangsa landslide… someone must pay the price
I just came back from my Eid Adha holiday. Last Friday night, I was actually at Ukay Perdana having teh tarik with some of my friends. I left the mamak restaurant at about 10:30pm only to learn there was a big landslide the following day but I was not able to log on to the net to blog about it.
My belated condolescence to the deceased family of Bukit Antarabangsa landslide victims and I hope those who survived will be patient and thankful to the Almighty for having escaped such a tragedy.
Bukit Antarabangsa tragedy could have been avoided if not because of indifference attitudes of relevant Malaysian authorities and greed of Malaysia property developers who see money more valuable than the lives of Malaysian property buyers.
They should have learnt enough from the Highland Tower tragedy way back in 1993 but unfortunately… the ‘hangat-hangat tahi ayam’ attitude of Malaysia Government agencies and its enforcement officers had caused another catastrophe… in the same area where the Highland Tower had collapsed.
Despite the government directive to stop high hill property development projects, local authorities kept approving new projects in the area so when you look at what happened last Saturday in Bukit Antarabangsa, it is clearly the result of negligence by some government agencies…. someone must pay the price for this grave ignorance and failure to carry out government directive.
But the question remains, would the present BN Government at the federal level and the PR Government at the state level had enough gut to bring those responsible for this catastrophe to book? Let’s us wait and see while other developers are having field day on other parts of high hills making their millions or billions.
Malaysia Boleh?
