Well..every morning I send my kids to school and I usually took the shortest and yet the least busy route to their school. I timed all the possible routes and found one which is the fastest time to reach their schools. But...I had to passed through one kampong road..What I experienced every morning, makes me wonder ..Do these people care about their kids' life?
- 3 small children about 8 to 10 yo crossing a busy road, carrying heavy bags, without any adult supervising them. I've seen the cars had to break hard to avoid them..God forbid..if something should happened ...
- A father riding motorbike with 4 children-(one in front and 3 at the back)..only the father is wearing a helmet...Wonder where are their bags??
- A boy in school uniform, about 9yo, riding his bicycle on a narrow road (usually Kampong road is quite narrow)..without any light. Every time there's a water puddle, he would just swerve the bike to avoid it..mind you, there are a lot of water puddles on this road...you can imagine the car behind him had to slow down to a crawl to avoid hitting him..
To all parents out there..children are god's gifts to us...Love and care for them..Think of their safety above anything else..

Hello Ibu, I guess there's always irresponsible parents out there, either too busy to care or worry, or that 'the kids are old enough'.
Bila kena problems, then its too late.
Yes, disini pun ada juga, but rarely as most times young kids escorted by a mother or older sibling.
As well there's a law here, leave any kids home alone below 12, you get a very heavy fine!
Riding bicycle must have helmets, kids too.
The cops here don't take prisoners, ha ha.
You have a pleasant weekend. And keep a song in your heart.
Lee.
Thanks Uncle Lee for visiting. It is sad to know that we still took things for granted until we lost it..especially our own flesh and blood..
Thanks for such a lot of refreshing ideas. Love reading your blog..Keep writing and keep smilling..
My boys just starting bicycling and we insist on them wearing bicycle helmets. They are an oddity at their schools and on the road ... no other kids use the helmet!
Good for you and your kids..let them be the odd ones as long as we have done what's best to protect them..
Salam puan,
Glad to know that you still writing. Like me, pension for a while. I'm back to sea. Finding the real me and my passion.
There's a saying:
You only get one career,
Protect it,
Nurture it,
Invest in it.
Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan.
