Doaku Doamu

Noon news on TV3 reported that the evacuation of all Malaysians will take about 5 days, and the proses was very slow as the unrest in Egypt is getting worse, thus would slow down the whole thing.
Umi also read the newspapers, reporting the parents' worries and hopes, especially to those students who are staying in remote areas, apartments, houses as many run out of food. umi just cannot imagine why the Malaysian government always becomes the last hero when it comes to facing emergencies. there are so many red tapes, many plans, many excuses given, whereas the situation worsens. what i can conclude is, the ministers will definitely take prompt action if their own children are there, stranded in the land of chaos. surely they will not spare a second, coining the name of the operation. but now, after more than a week, then only their decided to make the move, slow move and now surely slower than before.

One more thing, they are facing mostly the Malays who are very patient and proper, always believe that the government will act fast.just imagine if other ethnics are involved...the plane will touch down even before the traffic controller realizes. i am not prejudice, but i learn from past tragedies that befell Malaysia.

My frustration level is up to the ceiling now...and i am pretty sure other 11,000 parents feel the same way. My heart really goes to female students who are left unattended in houses that are prone to break-ins and robbery and even physical acts. i try not to fall on my limbs, my knees, my everything coz i trust my son and his friends will be patient and safe. however, i cannot help but feel helpless and worried until i see him in person.

What tickle me to dry laugh is why we have to wait and wait until the situation turns for the worse, then only we try all our best to overcome the problem. imagine if the evacuation starts last week, surely by now, there will only be a few hundreds students left and not thousands....why we never wake up from our silly sleep and take a swift action whenever emergencies arise.

some people might say that i am emotional, but whoever is in my shoes will surely understand how i feel. i never question the move, but what i dont like is why so late.........so slow.....so heartbreaking......
