Brunei Helicopter Crash

This shocking news prompted me to update this blog after a long hiatus.  I was shocked so as the nation.  We didnt get this kind of news very often but it was such a tragedy when it happened yesterday.

12 young cadet officers were killed when the helicopter they were in crashed at Ulu Belait yesterday.  2 were seriously wounded and admitted at the hospital.  It was such a sad moment for the families since today is the first day of the fasting month of Ramadhan.  I am guessing those who deceased couldnt wait to get home to be with families on this holy month.  Imagine how the families feel when they came home in a casket.  So very devastating.  My prayers going out to those who parished.  Hope they are now in a much better place.  Al-Fatihah.

At the same time I am so proud to be the subject of His Majesty who is definitely a caring monach, he was there at the base camp and at the hospital witnessing the arrival of the bodies and visiting the survivors. 

This news was also captured in BBC and CNN as well.
