Sedih kan bila tengok gambar-gambar di atas. Hancur semua sekelip mata ibaratnya. Dalam banyak-banyak gambar, tak terlihat pun oleh kita sekujur mayat yang tidak tertutup kan.. Semua bertutup. Sampai begitu sekali rakyat Jepun menghormati mayat rakyatnya. Kita? Yang lain? Teringat lagi tsunami di Banda Acheh opada tahun 2004. Kita boleh nampak mayat-mayat bergelimpangan kan...Wallahualam..
