A World Shattered

A World Shattered http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2017/11/15/penang-to-pay-funeral-expenses-of-mca-mans-family-members/ Here in Bolehland, this has to be the saddest news to date... The occurrence of a fiery tragedy, to leave a solitary victim in its wake... Such a tragedy makes the famous Tragedy of Macbeth a mere blip on the emotional scale.... Imagine the emptiness that floods one's soul when all family members are suddenly struck dead.... This poor man, a political Youth leader , was working the night shift as usual.... When he received a call that his terraced house was burning down ..... He would have been panic stricken as he hastened to his family at home... Only to find the burning ruins of his castle in which his beloved wife and children called home ..... Only the Almighty can explain, why death to his family members were so ordained.... Only his God can provide the relief he must need to withstand this devastating defeat... We cannot hope to feel the insufferable pain and loss this young leader suffers... Or share in his grief while standing firm and upright as a man after this cruel act from heavens.... For Lim Swee Bok from Penang, may he have the solace and blessings in the God he trusts..... In this test of faith and belief when his world on earth collapsed, only God he can he trust.....
