h a r s h !

this is my second post of the day.

it's just a passing thought that i felt needed to be captured.

as most (updated) people would know, ah hao has been given a death sentence for the death of huang na.

yes, she died an early death. and yes, she died a horrible death.

and now, he has been sentenced to death.

some may think that he got what he deserved. but please allow me to disagree, for i feel that the sentence passed on him is too harsh.

yes, he did cause the death of a little girl, whether intentionally or otherwise. but i suppose everyone forgot something else. something important.

he gave himself up to the police.

without him, her death would be a mystery. the police might never ever catch him. he was already in Malaysia, and could just have escaped to god-knows-where.

but he chose to turn himself in to the police, to accept judiciary punishment.

i say, give him some credit.

the sentence passed on him is a death sentence. he would have to be hanged. that would be the end of his life, and his parents, wife and kid would never see him again.

he turned himself in to the police, and yet not an ounce of leniency was shown to him.

which offender will turn themselves in to the police in the future, when they know that the law would not take their act of self-repentence into consideration?

i know i would never.

what for?

oso have to die what.

    i dun think he planned to kill her.. it was just an accident..

    like, come on. she's just a kid.

    wat's his motive for killing her, rite?

    aiya, watever the truth is, he did turn himself in.

    he was like already in malaysia lor.. malaysia leh! they could take 10years to find him lor!!!

    but in the end he oso turn himself him.. i'm sure he thought of the worst case scenario before he turned himself in..

    probably because he dun wanna run away from his wrong doings and also he thought tt by turning himself in he would get a lighter sentence..

    who noes rite.

    our law is so harsh.

    at most play hide and seek for the rest of my life, lor.
