LANDSLIDES

Hi guys….

Landslide?? Yes. This is the title for my entry. I’m sure all of you will be scared when hear about landslide. Me too . On 6th December of last year, we was shocked by tragic news about landslide that was happen at Bukit Antarabangsa, Hulu Klang. During that disaster , 14 house was flattened by landslide and if I’m not mistaken , 5 victims were died in that tragedy. It was very terrible and heart breaking. .

When I heard about that news, what come across to my mind was to call my girlfriend. And to ask about her and her family. It because she live at Taman Bukit Utama, at Bukit Antarabangsa. I’m so scared if anything happen to her and family. I really love them so much. . Thank god, she answered the phone and I was so relieved when hear her voice and she tell me that whole family were safe except Izara, her lovely Persian cat. She was so sad because all family members loved Izara so much. Izara was treated like a family members not just as a cat. Besides that, they also lost their house because of the landslides. Their house was totally damaged and cannot be save. During that time, they and other victim were asked to move to the school nearby as protection place for temporary. My girlfriend and family was choose to move to her grandmother’s house not far from that place. Now her father already bought new house for them at Damansara Utama.

About the landslide, reports by geologist have shown that the reason of why it is happen was because of the water movement in the land that due to the heavy rain for long time. Besides that, land structure at hills was not suitable to build a house. Its become a habits for rich people to build up house at hills because of the great scenery there, but they forget what was the main reason they build up a house. It’s for safety and protection to us and family. I really hope this tragedy will make all of us aware about dangerous around us that sometime we not think off. There are many other places that have beautiful scenery and at the same time were safe to live. Take action before its too late. I think that’s all for my entry this time..

Bye guys. See next entry.
