Oh, hey October.

Thursday, 14 October 2010
Okay we're in the middle of October now, approaching November. Before we know it, it'll be the end of a rather eventful? uneventful? 2010. Hello, 2011 then.

But before any of that, I suddenly remembered reading somewhere that that Teoh Beng Hock would have gotten married this month had it not been for his tragic death.
I found that rather sad, especially for his wife. (She did "marry" him after he died, with his sister as a proxy) But still, it's not the same as it would have been to have gone through a proper wedding ceremony with him alive, and the honeymoon and all that.
Sadly, his case doesn't seem to be settling any time soon. Most people feel that it will probably Never be settled; seeing how "efficient and excellent" our police investigation and justice system is.

Really, the whole thing has been a circus. With clown prosecutors and such.
But yes, I don't think justice will be served any time soon. It is a long fight that requires so much patience and endurance. It really is too much.
But this is our country, and we know how it is. It may be big news and will appear in the newspapers and cause a big hoo-hah but then it will disappear the next. It's like hoping that people will forget about it and the whole thing can just be swept under the carpet.
That's just what our local media does. Similarly with all other "big" cases. (Remember Altantuya Shaariibuu?)

So yes. This whole post ended up longer than I expected.
What I just wanted to say is that, this month was meant to be a joyous one for Teoh Beng Hock, his wife and their families.
I really hope that justice is served for them.
