Landslide

A not so shocking event happened again - landslide. This is the 3rd time life-grabbing landslide occurred this year, as far as I can remember. And this is the 2nd time Bukit Antarabangsa is facing severe landslide. Not to forget the horrifying Highland Tower incident, very close to Bukit Antarabangsa.

So now Bukit Antarabangsa and the surrounding area have been classified as the "dangerous belt", for real this time. Oh, so it's only seriously declared as the "danger zone" after the 3rd bloody time something severe like this happened.

The Highland Tower tragedy that killed 40 odd innocent lives weren't enough to make this place the "danger zone"? Landslides after landslides for the past few years still weren't enough for the government to take action?

I've just found out that this area was being labelled as one of the hazardous area near town by researchers, years ago may I add. But it was ignored, no actions were taken, development still carried on like nobody's business.

Highways, condominiums, bungalows etc. Nothing can slow down, moreover stop these life-threatening development around Bukit Antarabangsa. Nobody cared about the "researches". Not the developer, nor the government.

Happy now? You've got your landslide. Congratulations, ignorant whoever-in-charge. It's too late to cry over spilt milk. You should have stopped any form of concrete from plunging into the soil 15 years ago, not today.

Now I've learnt, actions will only be taken after something really really bad happened for countless times. Good lesson.

p.s. I pray for the safety of the landslide victims and deepest condolences to the innocent life who was sacrificed because the government don't love enough to stop development.
