Compassion and death camps

I was completely and utterly disgusted by the NS authorities stating that the death of Ricky Lim was not a valid reason to extempt Lim Geok Kim and Lim Meng Yeok's daughter, Jane from attending the NS camp.

If a death of a relative, a brother no less, is not a valid reason, I don't know what is.

Have the authorities lost all sense of compassion? How would they, nay, how would we all feel if we lost a friend and family member after they attended something that MAY have contributed to their death? Would you want to allow another person who is precious to you go to that same "something"??

This I have to see, will the authorities arrest the Lims for trying to protect their daughter? Will the authorities drag Jane to the "National Service" camp? Or will they find some shred of compassion in their darkening hearts to allow this family to keep their daughter close?

To the Lim family, UMP is behind you all the way.

To the "certain authorities"....try to remember what its like to be human....
