I believe that everyone knows the latest case of Nurul Nadirah Abdullah, 5, who was found killed at an oil palm plantation, near her house after days of missing. Her mother was blamed for the incident because she was the one who asked little Nadirah to go to the shop alone to get a pack of Maggie noodles. But is this really fair? She just lost her child. She is grieving for god sake. From my opinion, I dont think that the mother should be blamed for what happened. If she knew that this would happen, I believe that she would never let her daughter go alone.
"The atmosphere was one of deep grief at the family's home at the Seri Delima Flats in Bandar Seri Alam near here which was full of relatives, neighbours and members of the media."
If we were to find someone to blame, we could blame everyone including the police, securiy guards, the Prime Minister and the list goes on and on. We could blame ourselves. Just ask yourself, despite of all the blaming and the finger pointing, what have you done to make this world a better and safer place to live in? Can you make sure that this kind of incidents never happens again?
Despite of all the good values we see around us everyday and how beutiful they are, there is still bad people hiding in the dark waiting for the right time to strike. Its no longer a safe world to let our sons and daughters live in.
Perhaps this is our wake up call. Perhaps this is where e stop being ignorant and start caring. Perhaps this is a new beginning for us to start a new lifestyle where everybody looks after each other. No more bad guys, no more crime. But it will always be just a dream if we dont take the first step.
