How long will they suffer?
Ahmad Kamal Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates
Since I saw the pictures on the TV, I am petrified and cannot even eat or sleep. Yes, I am talking of the horrific accident at Saver where a nine-story building collapsed literally like a pack of cards on hundreds of workers. Can anyone tell me how many more thousands of innocents and hapless poor people have to lose their lives before the human sharks' greed is satiated? Alas! no one , not even the jokers who go in smart attires to look smarter in front of TV cameras, has an answer. But isn't the cup of sins fast filling up to initiate an upheaval or these greedy sharks are complacent that these docile people will never protest and that they are only born to die like ants. Wrong! They will rise sooner than they apprehend and wipe them out into oblivion.Meanwhile, we are that nincompoop a nation to watch only and say a few Ah! And Ooh! And let it all pass like all other such events. Will no one ask the powers that be--why and how a building is approved and constructed up to 9 storeys which falls down proverbially like a pack of cards. Isn't there anyone who can ask Rajuk--what the hell are they here for other than fattening their ever increasing bellies? Let us all pray for the unfortunate victims and their families. That reminds me of the shameless nature of the BTV news where the newscaster was telling the nation in a serial order how many VIPs and BNP leaders have sent in their messages of condolence! Shame, shame on all of you.
