Barely two months ago 4 secondary school boys were drowned in the sea off
Pantai Dalit, Tuaran.(
View my earlier post) Another 3 more lives were lost on the second day of the Hari Raya Aidilfitri
at exactly the same spot again. Two 11-year old girls and a 10-year old boy from
3 separate families were drwoned while swimming in the sea on a family trip to
Pantai Dalit.
Why did not the local authority take action to warn the public about this
dangerous spot? Prominent signboards should have being erected at the said beach
by now. They should also provide some markers in the treacherous water to
indicate where the hazards are, similar to those markers placed by the Marine
Department to warn vessels about shallow sandbanks submerged in the water. Why
are the cold hearts of these officers untouched by the tragedies and do some
thing to prevent a recurrence promtly?
