“I wonder, if things would have been different, if that victim was indeed a senior minister’s son, daughter, wife, son in law or mistress?
The real issue here is the prevalent culture of a lack of accountability, where there is the aiding, abetting, condoning, taking bribes to close one or both eyes that have resulted in lives being lost in all sectors!”
MALAYSIA’S & ASEAN/APEC LEAD CONSUMERIST- THIS IS REALLY EMBARRASSING MALAYSIA!
As I predicted last week to the local and international media observers – the alleged crane operator, presumably an Indonesian, who allegedly caused the death of a Malaysian 24 year old lass has fled the country!
There are allegations that his illegal presence and operation of a crane saw 24-year-old Chin Khoon Sing crushed to death, after a 500kg crane hook fell 20 floors and slammed into her Perodua Kelisa!
Without any sense of shame or embarrassment, we are asking Interpol for assistance!
Yes, as an attorney with decades of experience both national and international, I am aware of the Interpol’s Red Notice list – an alert notice against a person wanted by national jurisdictions for prosecution, or to serve a sentence based on an arrest warrant or court decision.
But this is stupid and silly and will have no impact on Indonesians!
These people are currently walking in and out of the country as are criminals and terrorists and more recently even South American thieves!
So much for bio metrics, fingerprinting, and multi million ringgit tax payers monies spent on hardware, when the areas most needed to address is the “software?”
Meanwhile, all Malaysia’s Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) can say is that they are in the midst of conducting a probe into the incident, and refused to divulge information on the action to be taken against the construction company and the contractor who supplied the crane.
Even, the construction company in the midst of this scandalous and heinous crime confirms that all work on the project has been suspended, pending investigations by the authorities.
What is pending?
Should there not be a charge against the directors of the construction company, those who had a duty of care to act within the requirements of o failed miserably causing the untimely and tragic death of a 24 year of Malaysian?
Or as is the norm, there will be a drama unfolding of a stop order, while certain high powered politicians and others walk the telephone lines, there are meetings at prestigious hotels over many rounds of drinks and food, with several rounds of massage at a well-known SPA, followed by bodily service to remove great stress from where the brains are for many these days in powerful positions in Malaysia – I mean – below their navel by young Indonesian, Vietnamese, West Asian, Chinese prostitutes, or Caucasians and a bag of monies change hands pushed under the table?
After all, who is 24-year-old Chin Khoon Sing, who lost her life so tragically?
I wonder, if things would have been different, if that victim was indeed a senior minister’s son, daughter, wife, son in law or mistress?
And since I am on this subject – I am still awaiting NIOSH Chairman, Lee Lam Thye to do the right thing and resign and send a message on accountability to others, the real culprits, who have no courage to do so despite being the real problem, aiding, abetting, condoning, taking bribes to close one or both eyes that have resulted in lives being lost in all sectors in Malaysia!
