I can never understand the media in Spore, nor can I understand the minds of the people. Does anyone really give a shit about gay law unless one is gay? It's not like gays in Singapore are going around raping other guys on the streets.
Something small like this and everything has to be dramatised until it's like some soap opera. Such childishness. Why not spend more time contemplating about the penalty for drunk driving and the usage of hp while driving?
It is out in the Newpaper today that the stupid guy who caused the death of the sales agent while test driving would only be behind bars for 7 months. Is that how much a person's life in Singapore is worth? It really is ridiculous and my hearts goes out to the victim's family who is only left with emptiness and hurt.
Such a result for a case simply makes a mockery out of the juridical system of Singapore. It's blatant injustice to the victim. It's also clear that the stupid guy's not a least bit remorseful about causing the death of the young lady since he could even go online to enquire about high- performance cars not long after her death when the case was still under investigation. Shouldn't the judge and jury take that into account as well?
Another batch of devils on the road are the handphone users who are driving while calling/smsing on their phones. I've personally seen a few before and one is already one too many! I've always told D that for these people, if they want to die, they should go ahead (they have my blessings) and not bring others with them. No one has the right to rob another of his/her life regardless of whether it's deliberate or accidental. We've personally encountered such irresponsible drivers before, which is why I feel so strongly towards such (in)humans. Yet, there's isn't any way to capture their acts on camera or something. So long as the traffic police isn't around the corner, these people simply go scot free each time and never learn their lesson.
Just stating my views about such people. Some of you might feel that I shouldn't judge. However, I would like to remind you that it's easy to be indifferent and speak like a saint when you do not know anyone who's a victim (meaning injured or death..). But I'm sure empathy is something that anyone, rich or poor, can easily afford. One doesn't have to personally know a victim (touch wood..) in order to feel injustice has been done. True, you may say there's nothing one can do anyway but I feel that many people have been so desensitized that everything is just a report on the newspaper and everything is just a statistic to them. It's really sad you know?
Got to have my beauty sleep now. Hope I dream of holidaying :DLabels: Crime, Injustice, Reckless drivers
