What a mad world we live in


Little Saiful Syazani passed away 2 days after he was beaten by his own teacher (Ustaz) in a religious school. I do not wish to narrate the story here because it will only make me sad again. I'm writing this because somehow I can't accept the fact that this cruel action happens in this world. I got too emotional reading this that I teared up when reading the news. Yesterday I cried again for nearly one hour. It felt so personal. I had to call up 3 friends just to calm myself. It saddens me to see this boy had to go in such a cruel way. I was imagining what he was going through, his fear, and worse, the pain he was feeling. I was asking God please let his suffering at that time be just a moment. I feel like I wanna go back in time, save him and take him away from all the madness. How can people be such animals. The boy lost his mother when he was 3, and he was cared by his aunt. His life was short and very hard, but I know God loves you more, and I know you're in heaven now.

The guy who did this, a so called "religious teacher", I hope you know that God is fair and no matter how much you regret your action, you will have to pay for it. You accused the boy of stealing rm7. You accused him! You know what, confession 1, I stole some money too when I was maybe 9 or 10. I saw all my classmates had lots of pocket money and I only brought like rm1.50 to school. But I only took like extra rm5 from my mum's. But it was only for just a while, we were kids. That's why they are called kids, they can't think like we can. Plus I turned out well now. rm5 or rm7 isn't gonna make you a criminal. Killing someone who can't even fight back for his life, is More than a crime! You don't deserve to life, I hope the judge will prosecute you fairly. I wish you to die.

Little Saiful Syazani, I'm so sorry you had to go through such pain. I can never see any kid or animal gets abused. I have a little brother and even though I don't know you, I feel like you're a part of my family. I wish I could do something to stop this but I can't. And so I pray for you. Hoping you are happy now. Because I know even as I'm crying writing this, God is taking care of you.
