VSC death-last year-Update
-
This is just a follow up on the incident where a VSC died in a freak accident in Nov last year. For those who are concerned. The VSC, Ben Hur who died was my friend's very very close relative. Mr Ben Hur was a very good, responsible man who loved his wife and son alot. The day after the accident, my friend called me and told me what had happened. At night we rushed to the funeral.The little boy was unable to express his sadness so he kept silent(later we found out he did not want his mum to be worried but he cried every night into his pillow)How is a boy able to take the pain of losing person he love so much..Every weekend they would do sports together. Anyway,back to the funeral. The mother was uncontrollable. I mean, imagine the man who stuck through thick n thin for 20years, juz gone.And having 2 see him die in front of you.

The scene of the burial is something i will never ever forget. AS reported, there were alot of police etc attending. When Mr Ben's coffin was about to be put in the dug hole, his wife (they only allow her 2 watch from a distance as they knew she would be incontollable..She was allowed 2 watch the ceremony from a van while some policewoman held her). She was screaming;''Why u leave me and baby(the son) and go 1st?Why??''
At that point of time i guessed my perception of life changed. I felt stupid for crying for breakups, getting sad when cannot get what i desire etc.What was all that compared 2 what i was witnessing?
Now, my friend tells me every night before the child sleep, he will have a conversation with his daddy 1st. A happy picture has been torn apart. Hope everyone is safe and well. Cherish life -
Yea.. This kind of things really does invoke some soul-searching into us eh? Actually there a lot more worse happenings in the world out there.
Have you ever read newspapers or magazines, or watch tv and see the pictures of those kids in poorer countries, filled with war, poverty, diseases and natural disasters? Ever thought that what if one of the kids was you? Those people who were stricken with diseases and disabilities? Abnormalities? Rapes? Murder? Tortured?
And here, some of us stress over exams stress over this stress over that. Whine like a b!tch when daddy or mommy does not get you the latest fashion wear or accessories.
While we are sleeping in our comfortable beds and airconditioned rooms, the kids in the "other world" are lying on twigs and branches oblivious of the flies snacking on their decomposing limbs. Leaving our meals unfinished, when the other kids devoured hungrily on rotting fruits and carcasses or even sometimes nothing to eat at all.
We should all be thankful for the life we have, and when we come across problems or adversities in our life, thinking that life sucks, think twice because as compared to a certain some people out there, your life is so much more beautiful..

A man who was killed in action doing what he love. And fore most, he did it to keep his fellow citizens safe. It is officers like him that help make Singapore a peaceful place like what it is now.
A man who deserves a salute. -
His wife was a VSC 1st. When courting her, he so often went to the headquarters to wait a few hours 4 her knock off. Her colleagues saw him so often they ask him join. Guess he grew to love the job
