Kampar doomed???
2 tragedy happened in Kampar in a space of a week. The first was the suspension bridge in Kuala Dipang collapsed causing 3 pupils to drown while few days later, 3 UTAR students was swept away by strong current during their waterfall outing.
While I didnt really pay attention to the first tragedy, but the second tragedy really caught my eye as it involved my UTAR colleague as well. The trio, James Khor Wan Kai, 20; Yew Shy Gin, 19 and Yew Ghim Chnieh, 20 drown in the incident. It is really a tragic news and never expect such tragedy to happen though. As i remembered, that day was stormy and cloudy and their decision to continue with their plan take their life. The body of three of them were found in separate time as the last one was spotted at around 12am. Here is the news from the star news publication.

Three Utar students drown at waterfall, a fourth rescued
By IVAN LOH and CHAN LI LEEN
KAMPAR: A second tragedy has struck here, hardly a week after the Kuala Dipang bridge collapse took three young lives.
Three Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman undergraduates drowned after they were swept away by strong current at the Batu Berangkai waterfalls yesterday.
The dead have been identified as James Khor Wan Kai, 20; Yew Shy Gin, 19 and Yew Ghim Chnieh, 20.
A fourth student was rescued by a villager.
The four had gone to the picnic spot for a swim at about 5pm.
Three of them had gone into the water and the fourth student was about to follow them when a sudden gush of water caused him to tumble in.
A Kampar villager, who saw this, rushed over and pulled out the fourth student.
Perak executive councillor Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon, who related the story to newsmen, said the survivor — 22-year-old second-year accountancy student — declined to speak to the press and did not want to be named.
He suffered cuts and bruises.
At about 9.40pm, nearby villagers found Khor’s body while Yew’s body was found at 11.10pm, one kilometre from where they went into the water.
Their bodies have been sent to the Kampar Hospital.
Businessman Syed Farudi Syed Samsuddin, who saw the three students being swept away by the strong current, said their hands and legs were bobbing in the water.
Syed Farudi, 41, from Mambang Diawan, said he could see that they were struggling.
“There was nothing I could do,” he said.
It happened so fast, he said, adding that it had been raining heavily before the incident occurred.
The Batu Berangkai picnic spot is 15km from where three pupils drowned after a suspension bridge collapsed over Sungai Kampar last Monday.
From what i can learn here is that we must appreciate our life and decision making is important in our life. When we encounter incident like this, where the weather was cloudy and stormy, we of course will not take the risk by going to such place, waterfall or any other place which poses danger. We must love our life because we all can die one time only. And that moment can cause a lot of people to upset and so on. We must think of our beloved one and don't make them sad. Therefore, safety always comes first in no matter what we do.
I would like to express my condolences to the family of trio James Khor Wan Kai, 20; Yew Shy Gin, 19 and Yew Ghim Chnieh, 20 and may you rest in peace. For the lucky survivor, hopefully you are tough enough to face this tragedy and go on with your life. You should treasure your life and love the people who is around you. I hope that Kampar will not have another incident which causes death in near future or everyone will thought Kampar is doomed!
