I've been thinking of the safety of Malaysia's roads for the past days now. The accidents that I've seen on the way to Ipoh and back are still fresh on my mind. Malaysia has the best roads systems I've ever seen. No potholes like our Philippines roads but I guess many drivers are just reckless and over confident.
The other Saturday, on our way to Ipoh we witnessed two major accidents in the North-South Hi Way. We saw a dead body on the road. It was the rider from the motorbike. The other car was also smashed, I'm not sure if there were people in there. The 2nd accident was saw ( about an hour later) was a van and a car. We saw some bodies covered with clothes on the road too. And on the way back we saw a truck fell from the road and toppled over and a few minutes later another car fell too.
Then yesterday, we went to the Malaysian Indian Shop here and found out that one of the owner's friend from Malaysia died in an accident too. He just parked his car on the side, went out to check on something and 'bang!' a car hit him and he died on the spot.
Oh,..it's just so sad. Life and death is indeed unpredictable. Some people prepare for this 'end' by getting life insurance quotes but, there is more preparation needed than this for we are either preparing for eternal life or eternal death.
