Incident in my Housing Area

Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) should not be an alien name to you. OSHA creates standards for health and safety in the workplace. It also investigates businesses to enforce compliance with OSHA regulations, and companies can face fines for non-compliance. OSHA sets safety regulations for equipment, protective clothing and safety gear. It also provides heath standards for workers who handle chemicals, asbestos, blood and other potentially dangerous substances. Now this is for an office environment.

I’m sure at home you all do practice safety practices such as to switch off the electrical appliances after using them or even mopping the house at least two days once to avoid the dust. But of course the domestic cleanliness is not recognized as OSHA but more of norm in our lives. Hmm something to ponder on… Anyway, as much safety is important for office and home, having a safe neighborhood is also important. Safe neighborhood cultivates the term family like and also mind peace to carry on with our daily routines.

Gosh! I don’t know why I’m being so formal here when all I wanted to say is that last Sunday an incident took place in my Taman. Two guys in a trailer drove into my housing area. At the first corner the trailer took, it hit an electricity pole. The pole broke into two but lucky the wires didn’t snap. After that, the guys drove straight and tried to make a turn into a narrow road but the side of the trailer hit the walls of the corner house. They two guys fled in panic.

I was driving home from KL when my friend Jessy called to tell me the commotion that was taking place as her house was between the two houses that were affected. When I arrived home (my neighborhood), my parents and I joined the crowd of the “tamanrians” and did our nosy work. Just as the crowd, I took some shots via my N95. So here it is:

Apparently the policemen found drugs and syringes in the trailer. We guessed the drivers must have been high on drugs and was trying to run away from regulators. What a nightmare I will say for the Taman. Looks like the saying “there’s no safer place as your home” is definitely not a true statement to be using these days for anything is possible anywhere.

Anyway that night, the Taman was without electricity till 1am. TNB managed to replace the pole. End of that day I had a good night because Jessy, Joyce and I managed to have dinner in Ali Maju. Well we couldn’t do much at home and decided a drive - which was more practical before we get kissed by the heat and mosquitoes at home! It’s been sometime since we girls met together. While having dinner we bumped into the policeman who was handling the Trailer case of my Taman. He was rather cute I must say… end of the day Jessy was more “gugu-gaga” over him because Raj was a cute man in the uniforms!

No matter what happens… life still goes on….
