Actually they got to wear the life jacket one...Originally posted by poon cho tang:accidents happen...but then safety precautions hv to be taken -
It may be slightly easier to accept if all safety precautions had been taken, but in this case, it will always be regretable bec. they chose not to wear the life jackets, despite it being a big river unfamiliar to them.Originally posted by poon cho tang:accidents happen...but then safety precautions hv to be taken
They will always wonder about the "what if" they had worn it, maybe not all 5 will perish. Tsk..tsk... sad lah...and can they bear the guilt? -
i guess tragedies hv to happen b4 ppl will take heedOriginally posted by sbst275:Actually they got to wear the life jacket one... -
agree, they were too focussed on winning...at the end of the day..it does not matter at allOriginally posted by Wanda:It may be slightly easier to accept if all safety precautions had been taken, but in this case, it will always be regretable bec. they chose not to wear the life jackets, despite it being a big river unfamiliar to them.

I thot I saw photos of other teams whereby most members wore the life jackets and only a few din wear....so it was an individual choice, but for the Sg team, it seemed to be a group choice...who what made it so? Peer pressure? The pressure to win at all cost?
So you see, ....there will be some guilt involved one...if there is conscience. -

It's a painful lesson and they'd better remember it.
I wonder if there were other casualities in previous years' races ? -
Hmm...can we extrapolate and say...Originally posted by poon cho tang:agree, they were too focussed on winning...at the end of the day..it does not matter at all
Ppl are too focused on making money (forget other things), and at the end of the day...it does not matter at all.
Why does it not matter at all?

at the end of the day, hope they dun play the blame game after the investigationOriginally posted by Wanda:It's a painful lesson and they'd better remember it.

Very likely because over here in SG, water is calm

I won't blame the parents if they need to blame the group for not wearing the jackets....coz heck, they lost their kid you know, all their hopes for the future all lost... just like that! There's one kid who was an only son...Originally posted by poon cho tang:at the end of the day, hope they dun play the blame game after the investigation -

You think so? Don't think feel whatever u have now is not enough, and so must have more to prepare for the future, e.g high cost of healthcare...retirement , etc.?Originally posted by poon cho tang:as long as u r thankful with whatever u hv now, who cares -
of cos i will be reserving a portion of dat for health n etc...but i dun compare with the tom dick n harries beside meOriginally posted by Wanda:You think so?

Not say compare lah...but how do you know how much is enough? I think some gabramen bodies, or some financial advisors say we need to have $1mil for retirement, did you know that?Originally posted by poon cho tang:of cos i will be reserving a portion of dat for health n etc...but i dun compare with the tom dick n harries beside me
