December last year, a devastating flood hit the east coast of Malaysia. Its was said to be one of the most catastrophic floods in Malaysian history. Many lost their home, belongings, everything as their homes were destroyed by the vicious waters that evaded their village. In their desperate attempts to head to higher grounds, to save themselves from the flood, they left behind all their belongings. According to the victims there, it happened in the blink of an eye. The water level rose so quickly that if they did not immediately leave, they would be swept away by the merciless waves. 

     In order to aid the flood victims during the aftermath of the flood, those who are kind-hearted offered their help by generously giving donations like money, clothes or food but some, just seize the opportunity to get rid of their unwanted, ruined belongings like torn clothes and expired food. Their actions are obviously inappropriate and immoral. Knowing that some of us who did this at the time of hardship is demotivating not only to me but also to the victims to the flood. Therefore, we should not add salt to wounds.

     I hope that the victims would recover from this tragedy soon. My prayers and thoughts are with them.
