when a life is lost

National Service trainee Haziq Jaafar died on 21 April 2006, allegedly being beaten by another in a not so friendly fellow in the tv room squabling over maybe the control of the tv remote buttons, a ciggie, 50 sen coin, name calling or some other reasons known only to those in the tv room. The next day the whole clan waited for his body at Kluang District Hospital. At some point a man walked up to the mother and said in the most inaudible voice, a trifle whisper told her, his name and that he is the Jurulatih Disiplin at the camp. And he said:

"Sabar banyak-banyaklah kak." then he walked away. Everybody just looked at him. Is that all he could offer? Obviously Haziq's family and relatives have good upbringing, else someone would have beaten the trainer to pulp.

The nerve of some people.
