to be and let it be

While some people sometimes misinterpret what is said or displayed, some just ignore the law and disobey rules and regulations because they know enforcement is weak and they can get away with their acts. That explains why all the litters and mess in our public places and it’s getting worse. Every time I see this, I just close my eyes, shake my head and empathize with these sick people whose minds could not control their actions and behaviors when they are out-door. Strangely, their illnesses disappear the moment they step into their own homes. This type of illness is very difficult to treat. I’d tried to help them but I had failed. Sigh!

Take it or leave it? Do we have a choice?

I’m very surprised that they are still using float-switches. Only my toilets still use this grandfather’s technology.

While it was easy to blame and point the problem to deep-seated culture, human error and poorly maintained system by the maintenance team, real root-causes should be determined and resolved.  

More “why” questions should be asked: Why there are no other sensors or alarm systems? Why the maintenance team could not get a slot within engineering hours, why wasn’t there someone monitoring the site?  As expected, it’s always reactive and corrective actions after incident but not proactive, preventive measures to prevent delays. Sigh! 

Only insiders know exactly what had happened and the real story may never be told. Our top guns would like to treat this incident as a ‘wet nightmare’ that needed more than 20-hours to “wake up”.

Unless and until our top guns feel the pain and misery of commuters, what motivation do they have to fix existing problems?

Meantime, do we have any choice?










 

Motivation drives changes. Motive drives actions.

A faraway ‘friend’ is buying up our drinking wells in our village. Most villagers think it’s just another commercial transaction. Only the clever ones believe there is more to this move most likely motivated by some hidden intentions. I’m concern too as I need to drink from this well from time to time. The next village is very far away and I don’t have the energy to get there to ask for help. I foresee tough times ahead but wonder if our village chief evaluates and thinks far ahead to mitigate this issue.
