Stop the blame game!

Anyone who lives in Bukit Antarabangsa or has/had any relatives who lived there is going to hate me for saying this. But I just HAVE to.

It is NOT always the local authorities who are SOLELY to be blamed. And it is not also the developers who are to blame. Ever heard of if there is DEMAND, there is SUPPLY?
Let us just say, I as a developer, I have this MEGA project at the hillside. I have luxury condo units and I have big ass swimming pools, and all that jazz. Now all these I made it rich and I have to flaunt my money Malaysians will FLOCK to these developments to buy it. So I make big bucks and I think gee, Malaysians LOVE this whole hillside luxury living concept. I think I ought to go look for another one.

So the Highland Towers taught the developers nothing. Even the buyers learnt nothing. You would think us Malaysians will think, we should BOYCOTT these developments. Let us NOT buy into the whole idea. The developers should stop it. And if we do not buy any units, the whole development will go bust and then eventually they will learn that there is no demand. But NO, Malaysians continue FLOCKING to these developments. Buying and buying and buying. So with demand going up, there ought to be supply right? If I were a developer and a businessman, I see the opportunity, I seize it!

So knee jerk reaction. Let us SUE the developers and the local authorities for allowing these developments. They are to blame. They caused the landslides from bad monitoring. They did not do the irrigation well enough. Now my mother/sister/brother/relative is dead and gone. But what have I done to stop these developments? I bought a unit there because it was BIG and Beautiful. I have money, I want a big house! What have I done to curb the demand? nothing. But why should I blame myself as well?Its easier to point a finger at someone else.

Am I being a mean bitch here? Yes I am. But I just think pushing the blame game has to stop. EVERYONE is to be blamed. It is like saying let us stop polluting the environment. Every damn advocate(or 98% of them) of "cleaner environment" campaign drives a car. Hybrid or not. It still emits pollutants right? Whether at 10% or 80%, it STILL Does.So you are STILL polluting the damn environment. Why dont you cycle everwhere? Why do you have air con units in your home? Why do you have electricity? Why dont you switch to solar power? All these contribute to environmental pollution.

So yes, I am being mean here, but I think I just have to say it.

After all, this is MY blog and I have every damn right to.
