I reminded my daughter today—who is currently pursuing a business degree in Singapore—to be extra careful on the roads. Traffic there moves fast, often too fast.
Just a few days ago, a very sad and tragic incident occurred in Chinatown, where a six-year-old tourist was fatally hit by a car. It’s heartbreaking to think that if she had been a second or two earlier, her story might have been completely different. She would have been safe, smiling, and excitedly telling people back home about her trip abroad.
Instead, what was likely her first holiday overseas—meant to be joyful and full of discovery—ended in tragedy. I can’t get this incident out of my mind. The sadness feels overwhelming. It doesn’t seem fair that life can be so cruel, especially to such a small and innocent child. She didn’t deserve this.
