Accident

I was just informed that Gigi's boyfriend, Michael was involved in a tragic car accident last Saturday midnight at Melaka. He was drunk and he drove so fast until he knocked into a motorcycle and another car. The motorcyclist and his passenger was dead. Michael's best friend who was sitting at the front passenger seat did not have his safety belt tied, and he is dead too. The driver of another car is slightly injured. Michael is badly injured, laying unconsciously in the hospital for two days before he woke up on Monday and realised the tragic death he has caused.

So, Michael is responsible for the death of three person, including his own very best friend. The two dead were two 20-year old boys who have just get their STPM result. They both scored straight A's in the exam and they were waiting for the offer letter from universities. He is now very regret with what he had done. But, it is useless to regret about anything now.

Gigi herself is a law student. She consult her lecturers about this case. Michael is for sure will be sentenced for at least two years' imprisonment, and at the most will be ten years. If he is charged under another act, the minimum imprisonment can be up to six years. That is only based on the charge from the government. If the death's families press charge against him, he will be sentenced even heavier, not to mention about the compensation for the damages and sacrifices of lives.

Actually I don't really know him well. I only met him once while he sent me and my friends home after our last visit to Cameron. He is that kind of guy who is from a rich family, does not do well studies and does not take his own career seriously. He just fired his boss in KL, that's why he is so free to hang around in his hometown now. He has a car to use in KL and he loves speeding. This time he has really got himself into deep troubles.

I feel sorry for the two innocent young lives. They did so well in their studies. They had so many plans and dreams for their bright future. But now they have lost their precious lives and everything vanished, because of a drunk driver. As for Michael, I really don't pity him at all. He brought this to himself. He is remorseful for causing three deaths. He is going to blame himself forever for causing the death of his best friend. This is going to be the greatest punishment for his entire life. But how can he compensate the deaths? Punishment or any sentence or even is his death will not be able to ease the pain of the suffered families...
