Just so sad...

Im sure we all know about the 17yr old blogger who was charged with in court under the Sedition Act for making racist remarks on his blog.
Here's part of the report...

"The defence lawyer said the main reason why Gan had such feelings of ill will towards the Malay community is because of the death of his younger brother when he was only seven years old. His month-old brother had breathing difficulties and needed to be taken to the hospital in a cab, but a Malay couple refused to let them go first despite his mother's pleas. By the time the family got to the hospital, his brother was already dead. His mother was subsequently diagnosed with post-natal depression."

I mean isn't it just sad to see these sort of things happening? Maybe the couple who refused to let the Gan family board the taxi had something urgent to attend to as well but we are talking about a MONTH OLD BABY here, few things can be more important than the life of an infant.
Unfortuantely Baby Gan lost his life and 10 years later his elder brother will most probably be convicted of making racist remarks. How shitty can things get for the Gan family? I mean the kid is taking his "O" Levels in November, how in hell do you expect him to concentrate on taking what might be the most important exam of his life? What about Mrs. Gan? Anyone spared a thought for her? I'm not saying that the boy should not be punished for his actions but surely there must be a better way to handle this.

Damn it's a sad world...
