The Poor Girl..

Just looking for something that we can discuss together for those who read this post. 2 days ago I'v read about a girl who was raped by her stepfather in Kelantan. To some of you, rape cases may sound just like any other ordinary crime done by people who lost their level of consciousness and was provoked by devil to do such thing. But this case was somewhat touching. Although I do not know who that girl was, I still feel it was a very heartless crime done by her step father. The incident was like this (based on reports done by Utusan Malaysia 11 August 2009):

The poor lady was persuaded by her step father to go out with him by telling that he will bring her to town. Unfortunately she realised that her step father was heading to other place instead of going to the town, she was brought to the rubber estate, and was immediately being raped by her step father. Not being able to escape, as her step father's animal instinct has taken control, she shout as loud as possible and fortunately some of the villagers nearby heard the shout for help. Panicked as he realised that the villagers are on the way to stop him, he was taking drastic action by splashing acid towards her daughter. Not just that, she was also stabbed. Next? Scared that he will be punished, the step father drank the acid and was pronounced dead when the villagers arrive.

So, the damn father is dead. The daughter? I just can't say. She is now bearing a severe injury due to the acid and wounds. According to the newspaper report, she was immediately brought to HRPZ II. By the time i was reading the article, it doesn't feel too bad, but still I have sympathy for her.

Yesterday, after Sue Yi was back from her posting, she told me something really shocking. "Jie, you know just now there was a rape case in the ward I'm in. She was a very young lady. Pity her." Suddenly i remembered something: " Hey, if I'm not mistaken , I've read about a case just like what you've mentioned, it is the same girl!!" Yes, it's true, it is the same girl moved to our hospital, in Intensive Care Unit. According to Sue Yi, just by looking at her will make you feel so sad and depressed. She was tied to the bed (this maybe due to avoid her from getting out of control), flipping through her folder, with 40% burn injury on her body and eyes and most probably some of the acid also enters her digestive system. Her face was wrapped with bandages, so can't even see her real features. Imagine how this lady will continue her life in the future..

Honestly if it was me, I don't think I can regain back my strength and continue like normal people do. She is so young, there's so much more beautiful things ahead waiting for her to discover. And because of his eager needs for satisfaction, the hope and faith is no longer there. Just imagine being in her shoes has already make me feel sad, what more the person herself. How can a human being turn into a beast and destroying his children's life. He was free forever since he is no longer here, but what about his daughter? His wife and family? Will they be able to handle the society's bad perception? Only time can determine how their next phase of life will be..

I really do not know how to comment on this one... Mainly because I know too well (and I guess that you too) that we are all living in a fallen world - especially in this era when humanity and bestiality is only divided by a vague blurry line; and there is nothing much I can do regarding to this matter...

I only can pray for her and for everybody else, and that is the most I can afford to do.

I am saddened; it is so depressing to be so helpless...
