Bring Back My Safe World




I weep for our kids today as I have been for little Nurin Jazlin who died in the hands of a maniac. A beast. Maybe more.
Her death was senseless.
And the beast is still out there.

There used to be a time when kids could walk around their neighbourhood without fear of being abducted. Without fear.
Today, the fear is tangible.

Therefore, I weep.

Lord, bring back my safe world.

Everywhere you hop, there are entries of the heinous beasty act on the poor little girl. In your simple words, you summarise the same sadness and regret i feel inside.

I still can't bring myself to write about Nurin.

Ibu,
Isn't just so heart-wrenching?
My tears have dried up. But I cannot forget.

Take care.

And I weep with you sister...

I weep for my children
I fear their safety
I long for the old chilhood
Where children roam freely

Its a sad sad sad day for us all...

Elviza,

How can I forget that little ashen face of a broken child?
How can I forget that innocent face of death?
How can I forgive this world for the torture and pain she had faced?

She had to die for us to learn that out there is no longer the same territory we knew.
where birds no longer sing a happy tune,
where children's laughter paint the playground in hues of colour


Elviza, something is really wrong with our world....
