Rest in Peace, UTARians...

While we're having a wonderful moment, other people may suffering from something terrible.
While we're in Genting, 3 UTARians from Kampar were drowned in Kampar waterfall.
That's my campus...
Before that, somebody from my campus AGAIN died in KL due to H1N1 or heart attack??
I don't know... Nobody talk about it anymore.
And now... 3 more drowned and died. 2 from Kedah and 1 from Penang.
Nothing much we can do. If it's the God's wish, we can just follow and pray hard.
That's life... Easy come and easy go...
Appreciate of what and who you have now. Don't regret only after it's gone...
Here's the news if you missed it...

3 M'sian students drown

KAMPAR - A SECOND tragedy has struck here, hardly a week after the Kuala Dipang bridge collapse took three young lives.

Three Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman undergraduates - James Khor Wan Kai, 20; Yew Shy Gin, 19 and Yew Ghim Chnieh, 20 - drowned after they were swept away by strong current at the Batu Berangkai waterfalls on Sunday. A fourth student was rescued by a villager.

The four had gone to the picnic spot for a swim at about 5pm. Three of them had gone into the water and the fourth student was about to follow them when a sudden gush of water caused him to tumble in.

A Kampar villager, who saw this, rushed over and pulled out the fourth student. Businessman Syed Farudi Syed Samsuddin, 41, who saw the three students being swept away by the strong current, said their hands and legs were bobbing in the water.

'There was nothing I could do as it happened so fast," he said.

The Batu Berangkai picnic spot is 15km from where three pupils drowned after a suspension bridge collapsed over Sungai Kampar last Monday. -- THE STAR

Dangerous current: Fire and rescue personnel watching out for the three Utar students downstream from the Batu Berangkai waterfalls on Sunday night.

At the Kampar mortuary yesterday, relatives of the three came early to claim their bodies for funeral rites at their respective hometowns.

Wan Kai’s father Ewe Kok said his only child was a jovial and active person.

“He was a very filial son,” said the 51-year-old.

“He made it a point to keep in touch with us by calling us constantly.

“We last met two weeks ago when he returned home to George Town for the semester break,” he said.

A Utar lecturer described second-year Chinese Studies student Shy Gin as an active, hardworking and well-mannered girl.

p/s: Don't be too sad, AnnLi jie. I'm sure James and his friends gonna rest in peace...
