Passers-by who just didn’t care

AT about 9pm on Aug 6, at the Sprint Highway u-turn underpass near the Damasara Jaya Secondary School a driver knocked into the back of my son’s car. My son got down to check.

He was immediately set upon and knocked unconscious. His car and everything else was taken and he was left lying on the road unconscious.

He was at the mercy of oncoming cars rolling over him and yet nobody stopped to assist him until eventually a good Samaritan by the name of Darren Lee came to his aid.

I just dread to imagine what would have happened if an unwary driver should have just gone over him.

Shame on all those who drove by and seeing my son on the road, so helpless, didn’t offer assistance.

What if one of your loved ones was in such a situation and nobody stopped to help?

Woe betide our nation if these people are in the majority.

And to those heartless car-jackers “nak curi, curi-lah. Mengapa hentam orang teruk-teruk ? U tak ada hatikah? U tak ada keluarga-kah?” (“If you want to steal, steal. But why do you have to beat him so brutally? Have you no heart? Have you no family”.)

To all drivers, if you are knocked from the rear by another car, especially at night on lonely roads and you are alone, drive straight to the police station.

Don’t worry about repairs to your car, worry about your safety, period!

Drive safe folks. VINCENT YAP Petaling Jaya
