Hit and Run!

I was happily digging into dinner with Bunny and few of our paintball friends last night at Chanyai Villa when "BANG!" the loud sound came from the dark road which is facing the coffee shop where we are having our food.  I thought it was some car rammed on the tree or divider, or a bike or something.  It took us few seconds of silence, looking at the road, trying to find the driver or anything that caused the loud bang when one of my friend said, "Eh, orang kena langgar!!!" (Eh, someone got hit by a car!!).  

Without delay, Bunny with 2 of our friends rushed to the road.  One of them is already trying to control the traffic as cars started to move slowly (as you know, some busybodies drove slow, wanted to see what's going on).  I took my mobile phone and dialed 112 (yes, it is for the mobile phone users in which it will still connects you to the nearest emergency numbers other than 999.)

Anyway, the kepoh-crowd is growing, me and my other friends watched from a distance. My call was transfered to the nearest hospital and I explained the situation as such...and hope for the best to the victim.  Bunny and the other guys returned after the patrol police arrive and took over.  There's another man talking to the policeman and according to the guys, he is one of the witness when it happened.  The car plate number was fallen off.  

Ambulance arrived, but we saw the man (believing to be a chinese, around his 50's) had already been covered in newspaper.  He was killed in this hit and run incident.  

The cheerful mood turn into solemn a bit for us.  We finished our food and decided to head somewhere for coffee.  As Bunny drove his car, we headed towards Kopi Ping, one of our joints where we normally had our soda lime and coffee, I sat in silence and had lots of things in my mind.  

"Isn't it sad for someone to go like that...without any family and friends to say goodbye?"

To whomever that hit the poor guy to his death and thinks he can run away with it, I hope you'll get caught soon.  I wish that you know that you had taken away someone's father/brother/son/friend because of your reckless driving.

- My friend told me that the victim was fondly known as 'Akai'.  He is usually seen around Likas Sports Complex area and will always helped out in anyway he could if there's any event around there.  He is a little bit 'special' but to those who knew him well...he is truly a special person in their hearts.  RIP Uncle Akai...I hope the person who did this will be punished as what he/she deserved.

Give love just for one day...

Sometimes, you don't have to take them home because of whatever difficulties that you are in.  But if you can just give them love just one day....only one day...because they are God's creation too, and they deserved to be loved...and to feel love...it's more than enough.  Not just to humans, but to animals too.

Note: Photo of me taken by a friend feeding one of the strays.  How I wish I can bring all of them home...
