Death No.1 - NS

I take no pleasure in pointing fingers. Only wonder what accountability will be assumed by the organisers of the NS - top down. Based at the Universiti Institut Teknologi Mara campus in Kota Samarahan, one wonders what this stint will do to the group of youths faced with such tragedy.

Surely I will be practical enough to accept the fact that accidents do happen. However, a sense of accountability must exists where consideration is given to the adequacy of safety procedures and the abilities of those in charge to minimize, if not prevent such a reoccurance. Once again to ask if indeed the ministry was indeed ready to implement this is in the first place. Will we even see accountability in the first place?

To the family of Awang Mohd Fazil, we can only share in your grief. I wonder what would be the result if one of the evaders "forced" into camp were to become a victim of such an accident. Where will the axe of blame fall on?
