Takziah :(




Pics from Al-Jazeera.com

(Villagio mall on fire: Mon - 28 May 2012).
It was reported that at least 19 people had been killed in the incident. Among those were 13 children whom trapped in a nursery, 4 female teachers and 2 firefighters. The nursery (Gympanzee), where most of the children were (mostly expatriates children of different nationalities), was on the first floor with difficult access. - Source: Al-Jazeera.

Shocking news of yesterday's mall blaze had caused injury & fatality to innocent people including the helpless kindy children. It's so heartbreaking to hear this and I extend my deepest condolence to the victims' families.

Oh my! Poor innocent kids :'( May this be a lesson learnt to the authorities in-charge for not compromising safety aspects in the building designs!! It should be a regular and strict QA/QC to ensure all the safety alarms, fire protection systems are working and safety procedures for hazard (fire exit, trained mall officers, etc) are clearly outlined and strictly followed. I pray such case won't happen again in the future. 

Below are our back-then pics in Villagio mall taken via instagram (year 2011). It was such a beautiful mall, a popular hang-out spot among the locals and expatriates...
