Next week the semester starts again and I will be seeing my "beloved" students again. Aaki have to work today, so we came back from Ipoh yesterday night. As usual, I was driving at a pretty decent speed as I am using the one and only road to the Uni. Tight and dark. No street lamps. No reflector. No nothing.
I have been trailing behind a one ton lorry and a bus. As we are approaching nearer to the Uni, I saw the bus suddenly shift its course of drive from left to right. And suddenly go through a "bump". Up and down. At the fraction of moment, I saw the bus actually ran over a cow. An adult cow. Probably weighted about 200-300 kg. Being knock over by a car in front of the lorry. Successfully avoided by the lorry but not the bus and subsequently being ran over by it.
Even thought it is a cow. It is still a living thing. My heart turns sour while keep on driving back to the Uni. The vision of the cow being ran kept on repeating in my memory. Who is to blame in this case? I am not trying to point fingers to any party but I believe something can be done on this. NOT only to avoid running over a cow, but any other living creature. What if the cow just now is a human? The cow did not cross the road. It is just walking on the roadside. The car probably cannot see it properly and maneuver too close to the roadside and crash into it before ran over by the bus.
Well, you can look it at another angle for this. Just another unfortunate case. The cow did not bring any torch light or anything which can alert the incoming vehicles. No party should be blame on this.
Do the related party not know that it is a rural area which have no street lights?
Do the related party did not receive any accident report(s) on that particular area?
Do the statistic of accident(s) did not reported correctly or accurately?
Its a sad thing that we have so called in a country which is developing. No effort have been done just because that area is not a "beneficial" area to some party. What is the yearly plan do we have again? If you understand the plan I am trying to mention... Its a crap if there is no beneficial to any party.
I think I have wrote a lot of nonsense for today. Continue for Rina work.
