Remembering my late Brother

Dear my late brother,
Even though you are long gone, by faith I know you up there with the Someone. I know you're born wild, life wild and gone wild. But brother is a brother. May the past is past and future is future. I may or may not come to pray for your eternal life will not become an issue tomorrow. Please forgive me for sin that I has done. Let it be...let it be... I also hope that with my "hope" today you will hear it by "there". Rest In Peace!.

Road first, others second.

This evening (25 Aug 2009) me and my friends witness an accident in front of our eyes on our way to Santai Restaurant. Because of misinformation that the restaurant is in Seksyen 9 so we have to go to the Seksyen 11 roundabout and turn back before we can go to Santai Restaurant.

The traffic was busy that time because it is peak hour (around 5:00 - 6:00 like that) where everybody going back after working and everybody want to go to Pasar Ramadan to buy food or go to home to "berbuka puasa" with their loves one.

At the junction to the roundabout I think I saw an accident because a 3 - 4 motorist already at the roadside and throwing something broken to the roadside. Then, when we're turn back at the roundabout, we saw a motorist using scooter holding a hand phone on the left side like talking through the phone. I'm impressed and smile after looking at the motorist because answering a call is more important than focus on the busy road. Then suddenly we saw the motorist fall down after trying avoiding another motorist that headed to PKNS. Just imagine using one hand to avoid from crash but it is too late and it happens. The motorist just lying down and not make any movement. My friend who is driving the car scared after looking the motorist does not make any movement.

We just go ahead and not stop to see the motorist because we don't want to make the traffic become worst. So we just headed to Santai Restaurant. I still can't forget the sound when the accident happened until now. My friend who is from Stadium Melawati also sees the accident. They said a lot of blood already on the road and the policeman who is on duty handling the traffic also help the victim. We don't know how badly the accident is. But what lesson that we can get from that day is "Focus on the road while driving and not at the phone". This is because it is not for our own safety but also for other road uses.

Miracle: Woman cheated death

Car smashed, but woman survives

GEORGE TOWN: A 28-year-old factory worker cheated death when the car she was driving was rammed from behind by a rubbish lorry on the Bayan Lepas coastal highway here yesterday afternoon.

The victim, Goh Siew Lin, had stopped at the traffic light when the accident occurred.

The accident also resulted in a pile-up involving two cars and a lorry.

Goh was pinned to her seat for 35 minutes before firemen managed to get her out.


Bayan Baru Fire and Rescue Department chief Abd Rahim Ismail said they received a distress call at 2.02pm and arrived at the scene six minutes later.

He said nine firemen took about 35 minutes to get the victim out of the mangled wreck.

"She was taken to the Pantai Mutiara Hospital for treatment," he said.

Southwest district Traffic Department head Chief Inspector Mohd Zin Mat Ali said the woman sustained serious injuries when she was pinned to her seat following the knock from behind by the rubbish lorry, driven by a 44-year-old man.

He said police had taken a statement from the lorry driver and based on initial investigations, the rubbish lorry driver had failed to control his vehicle, causing it to ram into Goh's car.

"We are taking the rubbish lorry for a technical inspection to ascertain the cause of the accident," he said, adding that all those involved in the pile-up had lodged police reports.

Zin urged those with information on the accident to call the Southwest district police headquarters at 04-8662222.
