This accident happened to have huge assload of coverage due to the fact that it was caused by a ferrari, driven by a PRC man which resulted in deaths of innocent lives. Make it the death of a hardworking solebreadwinner who was a taxi driver whose children are still schooling. What I see: It is a rash act of a human being which caused death to another person. Sounds like any other news that happen everyday. But why is this one sensationalised so much? My question: There are so many calls for donations and help from MPs and what nots from the public for the family of the taxi driver. What about the many others whose plights are not known? I know these people personally. What makes these people I know less deserving of public donations? There are thousands such sob stories in this country. Were they rendered help like that? Must they get heavily dramatised and publicised to get such assistance? Whats worse, there are people who actually misused the money donated for their own use, for example, making a new house in their home country. :s What Im trying to say is shit happens and accidents is one of them. In most instances, sole breadwinners are involved. While this is an exceptionally sad moment for us, it is definitely the only incident that has happened here. I like the generousity of the public here, but I hope all future needy and not just publicised ones will get equal help, if not more, from them.
