Landslide Tragedy at Bukit Antarabangsa (Pt. 3)

TV9 on their morning talk show "Nasi Lemak Kopi-O" had 4 residents of BA as their guests yesterday (12th Dec) - one man and his wife plus two other women.

While I truly symphatise with their plight, I can't help but feel a bit irate especially by the man's 'whines'. Okay, so he's a victim and he has to look after 10 members of his family including his 90-year-old mother-in-law, his home is gone and he's admitted to feeling rather emotional over all this. But when he mentioned about them being entitled to only 50% discount of the hotel rate etc which he felt was not enough as he apparently needed 5 rooms to accomodate his family members. Oh, come on! For 11 family members (3 males and 8 females), three rooms should be probably be enough. Or maybe at most, four. Like someone commented the other day, 'The world doesn't revolve around you. Grow up.' Okay, maybe that's a bit harsh but it quite echoes my sentiment. There are other people facing unfortunate plights in this country - ie flood victims etc. Think about it.
