Actions and Responsibility

Finally, I'm able to post here again....been busy try to catch up with my own studies...haha...

For the past few days, 3 news caught my attention.
1. The lost of Yasmin Ahmad
2. Case of Teoh Beng Hock
3. Barrack Obama's apology


I will not discuss anything about the truth and facts of each cases, neither am I going condemn or post something inappropriate. Instead, I'm going to comment about the reaction of people around about the cases.

First of all, I would like to send my condolences to the family of Yasmin Ahmad. She was a wonderful and inspiring person. Lively as she was, she had contributed much in the movie industry as well as many of the popular advertisements under the name of Petronas. When I thought I could get my opportunity to meet her face to face, it faded. Well, I guess it ain't my luck huh... But truly, she is a real treasure of Malaysia and I'm proud if her as a Malaysian.

I remember, past few days, when I came across my friend's facebook status regarding on the sad news of Yasmin Ahmad, someone actually commented that my friend is ignorant on the case of Teoh Beng Hock, which in turn leads my second topic, case of Teoh Beng Hock. I will not mention the name who commented the status, but I would like to highlight the importance of responsibility towards the action that one is going take.

Have you ever wonder or thinking twice of the consequences that would bound to happen for the action you are about to make?

The particular person who commented on my friend status says that how we are ignoring the fact of the case of Teoh is totally reluctant and has no guts nor the bravery to stand up for the cause. Sadly to say, many people has the same kind of mindset for such a sensitive issue. I'm not pro-government nor am I anti-government, but in my opinion, IF one can be responsible for what-ever that had happened including plunging the country into chaos, I don't see what is wrong with doing so provided its on the correct cause.

This has seems to be a major problem in the world. For many to think, they will just do what they think is right without taking into the account of what might happen next, and when things happen after quite sometime then the responsibility is pushed away, neglecting the responsibility. This is the reason of the happenings in many third world country and also to the countries which were in chaos, causing death to many. The last thing that we ever need is another May 13th incident to be happening.

As for example, my third point, Barrack Obama apology towards the police after what he has done, even for a person with such power like him. It is not because of guilt, it is not because that he was forced to, but its because of the responsibility for the thing he has cause due to the action that took.

In short, if what you've started, even it has happened for quite sometime since your last action, has become the spark of tragedies and incidents, please do be responsible for it. If not you are just a normal human who just follows instincts which might cause the life of many.

Cheers^^
