Accused of stealing a handphone when she was innocent
She was nonetheless horrendously and ruthlessly 'uan ong'
By someone she so respected, but unjust & hastily indolent
And by the way, 'uan ong' means she was unjustly wronged
Now she has left us for a better world of no discrimination
Of sweet fragrant jasmine, soft sunshine, crystal clear sky
Leaving behind a mass of prejudice, evil and abomination
What is there for us to say, to regret-weep, but just goodbye

How do you know that she is innocent? Or was "uan-onged"?
ReplyDeleteWhatever the case, is it right to detain and confined the student in a locked room for 5 hours ( it seemed this happened in one of the reports ) ? With no proof, is it right for the teacher to come down hard on the student and accused her openly of stealing ? Is there even a SOP in schools to deal with such matters to resolve matters in a disciplined and fair manner ?
DeleteWhether she is innocent OR uan-onged, there is a proper due process for the investigation by the right authority.
ReplyDeleteThe involved teacher took the issue into her own hand. With her arrogance, she humiliated a 13yrs old in fronts of everybody, including her parents!
There r two issues here:
1) the quality of the educators that our schools have been forced to accept.
Many a time, the stories of racist/blurred/uninterested/political minded teachers r a plenty throughout bolihland.
Such state of low qualified teachers to educate/influence our youngsters could even exist INDICATING a very sick system. (Wakakakaka... KT would blames manmanlai/mamak for it!)
2) Like it or not, there is a hightened tendency for our down&trodden youngsters to take very drastic actions (rightly &/or wrongly) to express their infelt injustices & frustrations that levied on them.
What makes our youngsters (I exclude those otakrosaks of #undirosak) feel so helplessness upon facing an 'overwhelmed' challenge speaks TONS about our current debilitated society as a whole.
Both issues point back to the state of nationhood we r in at the moment.
Liken to Colombia, prior to Juan Manuel Santos' presidency, social chaos, despair, high suicidal rate, poor economic prospects etc etc were the norm.
The Colombians just couldn't see a way out for a country ravaged by 50yrs of sectarian infightings.
Now with the peace accords put in place by President Santos, there r hopes AGAIN - showing everywhere & in every Colombians. They can even help the once SA economic powerhouse of the now seriously doomed Venezuela!
Moral of this rant - visionary leadership by example! Game to take the path least travel to solve problems that deem sensitive for the good of the country.
When a country has hopes, the citizen has hopes. Many social ills WILL disappear & sometimes resolve by themselves, simply bcoz the citizen at large r happy.
So, DONT just mourning a death by yr superficial bleeding hearts.
