The Ferrari Accident. the entire cyberworld-ohkay sg's at least.. has been abuzz with the recent fatal accident in bugis/rochor area. so the story's that a Ferrari driven by a PRC collided into a cab, resulting in the death of a cabbie, his japanese passenger and the driver of the Ferrari. Everyone's slamming the PRC driver, with the few defending the PRC on grounds that this entire incident was blown out of proportion given the income gap, nationalities and backgrounds of those involved, negatively labelled by the society as heartless etc. (Yes, for looking at the entire incident from another point of view, evaluating it much less on the actions of the driver of the Ferrari than the reaction of society to this unfortunate event). -thank god no one reads this space or i gna be the next one being slammed & referred to as "The 20-y/o who recently graduated from TP blahblahblah"- Anyway, what i wanted to say is.. why are all of us taking such extreme sides when it's a tragedy? the japanese passenger's and the taxi driver's families are grieving over the loss of their loved ones. and this is the same for Ma Chi's family & friends. While it's true that he shouldnt have drinkdrive/sped, hasnt he paid for his mistake as well? We all make mistakes, and he paid with his life too. isnt this a hefty price to pay? yes, his act of folly cost the lives of innocent, unsuspecting people who were simply getting on with their daily lives. but think again, we label him the villain right away, ignoring his family's grief in our rush to condemn the PRC population. Are we being righteous, empathetic citizens or are we merely pouncing on this opportunity to air our pent-up frustrations against foreign immigrants?' Look, TP probably wouldnt use this incident in their campaigns to promote road safety. why? simply because what's involved is a ferrari- a car which most people are unable t afford, much less relate to in realizing the importance of road-friendliness. but doesnt this qualify as an example of the dire consequences of irresponsible driving? let's just stop the blame pushing and act of "standing up to defend the weak" when all we really want is a stage to air our grievances/ unhappiness. -.- |
