Dangerous exposure

October 31st, 2006 at 0:58 · Filed Under Critiques, Malacca 

It was Monday morning after the long festive break and many people were waiting at the Ayer Keroh Community Clinic. It was Dominik’s inoculation day. D and R had become restless after awhile so I brought D and R to the clinic playground while N and mommy were waiting at the clinic.

While both of them were enjoying the playground, I noticed some of the aluminum columns had no plastic covers on them, exposing the edges. The edges were not sharp but if any kid fell and hit on the edges, it sure would cut the kid badly.

The clinic is nice and clean with air-conditioner but the playground lacks maintenance. Malaysians are good at building nice building/places but when come to maintenance, they do a lousy job.

    Dear Adrian,

    I read your blog about Ayer Keroh Clinic. I bring my kids there all the time. Yes, I agree with you about the dangerous aluminum columns. I hope the management will repair but I doubt so unless some unfortunate kids got hurt. They must always wait until accident happens. That’s their attitude!

    When it was still new, my kids were enjoying. When the place was run down, I stopped taking my kids there. Please make sure your kids are safe when they play.

    Regards,

    Hi Jessica,

    Thanks for your concern. I will assure my kids are safe.

    Yes, most Malaysians are not safety concious. They will always take action only after some accident has happened but it is too late as damages have been done.

    I am going to write a letter to the clinic management. I hope you and your other frineds will do so. If all of us write in together, it will be difficult for them to ignore numbers of complaints. It is hard to get people to do that as everyone seems to mind their own business. That’s not a good attitude either. Please spread the words and get parents who are concerning about their children safety to act.

    Hope to meet you some time at the clinic. You know how we look like. :)
