Almost all the local papers run this news today. Let’s assess this…

Cause of death – fire
Cause of fire – candles
Why use candles – no electricity
Why no electricity – disconnected by TNB
Why disconnected – unpaid bills
Why bills unpaid – no enough money
Why money not enough – must pay fees for 3 children who are in tertiary education

So who's fault was it? The candles that light the night? The parents who scarificed for the children? The children who are pursuing their education? or who?...

One paper cited that the bill unpaid was RM800.

TNB makes millions of profit every year. There are lots of companies out there with RM20,000 to RM70,000 electric bills. There are also lots of illegally operating companies out there making unlawful profits and enjoying electricity. What is RM800 to TNB you’d think…if not just a mere chicken flesh stuck between its teeth?

For RM800, TNB killed 5 today.

Yes, things were destined to be. But consider the cause and effect, Qada’ and Qadar, and you know who is at fault.

Maybe now TNB should sponsor the 3 children and one sole survivor of the fire incident until they earn their degree and get good jobs (or TNB may offer them jobs). Then again…RM800 is a lot of money. I guess.
