Malaysian Leaders Comments on tragedy

One pupil drowned and two others are feared missing after a newly-built suspension bridge collapsed into the Kampar River as pupils participating in a 1Malaysia camp were walking across at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kuala Dipang near Kampar last night.
Is this the first incident that has taken lives? This is one of the many that the “rakyat” have to live with for many years and to be precise it’s been 6 years. Well I am not talking about Najib’s 1 Malaysia or his National Service but a program mooted by his guru Mahathir when he was the then prime minister, he was adamant that this programme be carried out to foster "national unity and mutual understanding" among young Malaysians, and all the caution by the general public, civil society and experts against the hasty implementation merely fell on deaf ear. This is nothing new about him, when did he ever listen to the people?Tragically there were 18 young souls who perished in various national service camps since the programme was launched in December 2003.

Let’s hear to some of the so called leader comments about this tragedy!
Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announced that a team will be formed by the ministry to probe the accident. He said the team will be headed by the Education Ministry director-general Ali Muddin Md Dom. He further mentioned that "What has occurred should not have happened and we want a full investigation into what happened and those responsible to be held accountable," he said. What else is new with this BN Leaders? Either they sweep everything under the carpet or form team to investigate with no outcome!
The backdoor Menteri Besar Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir visited the scene of the accident last night and ordered an immediate investigation.

"The suspension bridge was newly built. We want to know if it was built to specifications as it collapsed after a metal pillar got ripped off the ground," he said. He wants to inspect now after the incident? What was he doing

If this were to happen in any other country including Bostwania it would have been axed but not in Malaysia, as Malaysia Boleh! To rub salt into the wound, Najib Abdul Razak as defence minister argued the number of deaths during NS was "a small percentage" compared to the 339,186 trainees who had "benefited" from the programme by May 2008.This is the leaders mindset, they want your children to be sacrificed to ensure their programs are successful. Only in Malaysia a leader could get away with such statement!
