Bukit Antarabangsa Landslide

I just came to know that Shaiful Khas Shahrudin, one of the four victims of the destructive landslide in Bukit Antarabangsa is a younger brother of the girlfriend’s good friend. I may not know her directly, but I hope wherever she is she can remain strong and cope well with the terrible loss. Let us just spare a minute to recite Al-Fatihah for the victims, may they find peace in the afterlife.

Raf lives nearby the landslide site, he is safe and his house is unaffected except for the electricity cut-off. He even joked about needing a helicopter to get out of the area, and how restless he felt not being able to go to work. An auntie’s sister-in-law was also in the area, mom told me her family is fine. Didy’s house was even closer, in fact her family was trapped for a few hours but thank God they are safe. Another friend, Haziq, lives not far from Didy’s. I have not heard of his fate. I pray that his whole family is okay and he can come through this whole episode unscathed.

Let us hope that this is the last time we heard about a tragedy of this magnitude, and that the powers that be can find ways to help put a full stop to it. Let us also pray for the surviving victims to remain calm and patient in coming to terms with this unwanted catastrophe.
