I refer to the letter A true blue Malaysia Boleh story .

I am outraged at the Dec 13 death of accident victim Mohd Yusry, who was still alive for more than one hour after being knocked down by a car on the Elite Highway, and could have been saved if the emergency response services had been better. I am further enraged that the Good Samaritan, Zara Davies Abdul Rahman, who tried in vain to get an ambulance from Klang Hospital, has apparently received a threatening call from the hospital authorities for her public criticism of their poor response to her SOS call.

And as for the scandalous attitude of the hospital personnel who took Zara's phone call - how dare he act so belligerently and indifferently to the SOS in the first place, and later again when Zara confronted him? Is he so secure in his position that he feels he is not accountable to the public that he serves and the hospital administration that employs him, let alone his personal morals?

To me, this is the last straw following a series of inhumane actions happening in Malaysia, from the religious bodies bent on snatching the bodies of purported Muslims from their non-Muslim families and the destruction of Kampung Berembang to the continued ill-treatment of dogs and the brutal murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu.

And to contrast all this against, there were the unbecoming antics of the ruling party's members at their recent general assembly. I am sure it is beyond our founders' imagination that 49 years after independence and all the efforts to unite the ethnic groups as one, the ruling party that has been in power all this while can still spout racial epithets and now, it seems, deny the notion of a Malaysian nation.

What is to become of my country? Where detention without trial is justified, where a wrong committed to the judiciary will not be righted even though the perpetrator is now sidelined, where the second-most powerful officer in the country can be brought down and jailed on trumped-up charges, where good men and women are harassed for fighting for human rights.

And now, where a roadside sweeper's life is treated as if it mattered not.

I cried reading Zara's account of how Mohd Yusry's co-worker cradled his head until his last breath, telling him to 'mengucap kalimah syahadah' (dying prayers).

If this is not set right by the hospital administration and the Health Ministry, I fear the cost to the Malaysian psyche and morals. My deepest condolences to Mohd Yusry's family.
