our souls are exceedingly sorrowful

After the car accident i had last weekend, some friends who knew about it came to me to give me a word of comfort. I am so glad to have them in my life. One of my friend, Kit How talked a lot to me. About his experiences, in dealing with malays as well. Well, we have the same point of view and opinions. Both of us feel so disappointed in the way the malays in Malaysia live and treat other nations of different skin colours. He told me the accident that took his younger brother life away.

His brother was 18 years old when he passed away. Such a young and bright teenager. I would just called his brother A here. A was riding on his bike to tuition class that very day, when he met with the deadly accident. A was stopping at the traffic light and waiting for the traffic light to turn green. After a few moments, the light finally turned green. A slowly accelerated on his bike and moved on. Suddenly, a car from the opposite road who was supposed to stop take a sharp turn and banged into A and knocked him down. A was hurriedly sent to the nearest hospital. A was still conscious when he was charged into the hospital. He told his family that he obeyed the traffic rule and only started to move when it was his turn. He told his family that he didn't cut the red light while on the other hand, the driver said A cut the red light. But somehow, there were no witnesses to prove who was right. So, the police procrastinted on investigating this case.

A was badly injured where he broke one of his leg and his face was badly hurt yet he could not feel the pain. The doctor at the government hospital, which was a malay said that A was ok and it was not a suitable time for him to undergo a surgery. So, A, his family and the doctor waited til it was the right time. A and his family somehow believed in what the doctor said. After a couple of days, A had difficulty in breathing and was complaining the pain he had on his chest. After some tests on A, the doctor said A was ok and decided to put in a tube to help A in his breathing. When the process of inserting the tube in A, A was injected with pain reliever (I dont know what's the term for ubat bius) and he was left to sleep for the whole process and never wake up again. A was dead.

A was then being dissected to find the cause of his death. It was the lipid from the broken foot that flowed into the blood stream and caused blockage in the heart and directly caused the difficulty in breathing. The doctor apologised to A's family for his death. Later on, A's family when to some expert in private hospital to asked whether it is able to detect the flow of lipid into the blood stream and the answer was yes. A's family went back to the hospital and demanded further explaination on why the doctor couldn't detected the flow of lipid into the blood stream. A's death was because of the careless mistake done by the doctor. A young bright teenager died like that because of some simple mistakes done by some so-called experienced MALAY doctor.

A's family suffer from his death. They still cry whenever they think of A. Even a guy like my coursemate would cry over his brother's death. Can you imagine how the doctor's work has caused a big effect upon the deceased's family?

I really doubt the credibilty and ability of the doctors in the government hospital to judge a patient's conditions. I feel so sorry for A.

By the way, the driver who knocked A was a malay driver and he was set to be free because the police couldn't find anything evidence or witnesses that can prove that the driver was guilty. Another culprit is set free into the society to take another innocent's life.

It's time for the government to has better judgement before they recruit someone to work in the important departments such as the hospital and police station.
