Temperature Rising!

This is the year of the ferocious tiger. You can say that too, about the weather in our country! We are experiencing a heatwave. A sweltering heatwave! We can tame the tiger, but can we 'tame' the weather? Can we use divine help?

I'm afraid nothing much can be done about the weather. We just have to weather that out. Do not blatantly waste water. Water is precious and it's the life-saver. Use water wisely when you need to and save it when you have to! Let's save the water for 'a raining day'!

Can we blame the trainees who flared up at the National Service(NS) camp at the White Resort Camp in Penang? Their temperatures rose because they were not getting 'decent treatment' for almost two weeks now! I'm sure most of them would feel the heat by then! The authorities concerned must act and turn down the heat immediately!

The food at the camp was also mentioned. There must not be any excuses and the Camp commandant, Mej Rahidin Jalil claimed that it was all due to the current hot spell! He failed to understand that these two 'hot items' have generated a lot of heat for the parents of the trainees. He was trying to take the heat out of the situation by 'pouring out' flimsy excuses one after another!

Shall we all join in prayers and look to Heaven for a sign?
