Nationalist? Whatever you call them~

Yeah, I know I'm really outdated, knowing the big big news only when they had become histories~

I feel sad about this accident, Singapore Zoo is a great place, though I do not personally enjoy staying at that country. I can remember holding the big yellow snake, Ah Ming the ape (Monkey? Gorilla?), the Parrots, eww~ hate birds..., the Elephat ride, etc.

Went online and read blogs, news, watched the super blur video... Then I came across to this...
http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_302977.html
This should be a reliable source of news since its their national media... Then, I saw this comment which really upset me~

"Undoubtedly, the white tigers are innocent and must be allowed to stay!! By all accounts, these big cats were minding their own business.Neither should the zoo be held liable for the unfortunate incident. This was an act of a lone man who seemed to be mentally disturbed and behaving badly and madly. No one of a sound mind would do what he did and expect to live!! What is on his mind to provoke these BIG CATS beggars believe."

I wonder if he will post the same comment if the victim (or rather, the mauled man) is someone close to him/her or, from his/her same group. Well, I am saying this when I am assuming that he is a Sporean Chinese. He/she can be in any race or have any nationality, who knows, he can be a Malaysian, even a Sarawakean.

But I'm just wondering. Why would someone say this about a dead man. He is already dead, you do not know him, he can be the best person, committing his first mistake in life~ Who knows~ Whoever he is, even if you do not want to be sad for him, I personally think that giving such comment is just not a really good thing to do...

Well~ maybe...
He/she thinks that a dead's reputation is more important than the national zoo's business
He/she thinks that the population of human beings is much more than the White tigers, so the animal should have better benefit that bad sayings are suitable to be used just to protect the tigers from being sent off...

There are lots of IFs, MAYBEs, WHAT IFs... let's be friendly to whoever or whatever~ At least, let's not be rude.
