US Katrina
Hmm.. so for a start.. my singlish is better than English.. so in any case u all , readers do not understand.. haha.. either to correct me.. or try ur best to get another friend to “encode” the sentences..
With the recent “happening” in USA... Specifically to the Hurricane Katrina incident..
What actually wonders me a lot is the relief preparation in terms of pre and post of Katrina.
Before Katrina came, there had been a lot of reports from the weather stations indicating that the coming hurricane is going to hit the US and is the worst of all hurricanes that were recorded in US histories..
Been going on with all these reports, warnings going on for a week or so.. And in the end.. There wasn’t a single thing that was done, eg: evacuation….
Look... That’s the problem …. Despite all the reports and warnings, the US govt did not do anything concrete to relief / cut down / mitigate the people over the (then wanna-hit) area.
What were they thinking? Thinking that it is not going to have a STRONG impact? Therefore they didn’t do much of the thing..
I seriously dun understand how people at the top level are thinking…
They rather to spend more money on “rescuing” the aftermath rather than before it happen..
They have the damn lots of resources; manpower, technology, MONEY to do the job (most prob evacuation).
Yes.. u might be wondering if that’s worth of it..
Based on the reports, warnings, experts had already been guessing it is going to be the worst hit ever… speculating the financial and human loss… etc..
Precaution methods
Is good to evacuate all of the people by force (dun meant by physical means.. hmm.. dun know how to explain this part)..
And even if the hurricane didn’t hit hard enough as what was predicted.. is a cheer to everyone (to those ppl whose property wasn’t hit).. and at most.. it takes up ppl’s time of 2 or 3 days..
Of course not to forget some repairing work to do…
Let’s compare with the aftermath method:
Lives of more than 150+ are gone… resulting in more insurance payout, mental problem may arise from the victims’ families…
More resources to utilize ppl got stuck.., more work to do.. and definitely more funds to help solve this aftermath of the hurricane..
To summarize... and to all readers out there.. I think this is a very simple maths..
I think the resources they pull in for the rescue operation is definitely much more expensive and time-consuming than the “precaution methods”
All in all to say.. I am very disappointed with the outcome and response of the US government.
And is down to the same old thing of the Sept 11.. in which if u all watch this movie “Fahrenheit 911”… the CIA/FBI (not sure which agency) submits a report of the coming terror report to BUSH (aka grass bush), but he ignores it.. and the outcome ?.. all right.. I believe all of u knows … causing worldwide panic.. causing war.. causing the high prices of Petrol…
And yeah.. talking about Petrol.. why didn’t this time round (BUSH admin era), that OPEC talk something? Before bush came to the sit, the OPEC will keep assuring the ppl throughout the world that the oil prices will very much maintain around the then-cost-per-barrel price??
Is so horrifying that the prices keep rising every moment.. even when we are sleeping… and reading this now!
What happen to their authority? Controlled by US? There’s a possibility over there.. I dun know.. what about UN? They seem to lost their power too. What happen to the countries that sit in UN council..? can’t they do anything.. I dun quite believe so.
Of course.. if every individual country thinks that they can’t stop US because they are one of their main economic development partner, then it wouldn’t work. On the other hand, if those countries that oppose to what US did, and help out one another in everyway, I dun believe the US will continue to do what they want do..
The war, the increase in oil prices.. etc….. to those ppl who thinks that the increase in oil prices has nothing to do with the US govt….. then u have to rethink again.. when I show u this URL : http://www.youngpap.org.sg/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6297 and there are more links to bring u to more facts.. so that’s the end of it..
Will be talking about osama and his terrorism next time..
Da Da Da signing off.....
