I am really sorry to read this article. May God bless the souls of those who couldnt survive and bless the lil gal too. :(

One example that its better slow than never..

its sad. i hope no one would ever have to go thru that experience.

so sorry to see this. All so young... God bless.

Was it a Honda Civic? Did the airbags not go off? What about the child seat(s)?

my condolences...

erm, just a question.. what were you doing snapping photos of the scene?! I know you tried to help and kudos to that but to be taking pictures at that moment is a bit tasteless I feel..

poor girl...i would have dumbstruck myself if i were there...
i guess we should all srcutinize our driving,whteher we are reckless or careful.other's life are at stake too!
drive safely...and buckle up...you can make a difference

condolences to the family memebers of the accident victim.. sighh... mum's pleassee drive safely when u have kids around la!!

:(

May God bless the souls of the deceased.

the photos could be used as police evidence. kenny is being sensitive enough not to take photos of the victims. he has done what he could do.

god bless.

nt calm enuf to do anything bt could snap photos?

my condolences...
honestly, i dun think u should snap the photos.

why the fck would the airbags go off? its not gona do anythn.
hope the girls gona be allrite. may the other RIP.

ps-you should never overtake a truck. the drivers get really pissed cos they take ages to regain their speed.

That's really sad. It can happen to anybody and I wouldn't know what to do if I were in your position too.

saddening.

@hij: are you sure about that? i dont think thats true, because trucks have high torque ratings.

@fruitopia: look at the car, its a 5th gen Civic. That model only has a driver airbag.

Did anyone understand the newspaper article? It starts off saying a woman and her 3kids died. Later it informs us that a woman driver, her mother, the driver's 2kids and her niece were in the car.

=(
condolences to the family.

I wouldn't know what to do either
but I think I wont be taking photos around lor

i guess this shouldn't be made a blog entry...should it??? dunno..

I guess that being an almost pro-blogger like Kenny is like a pro journalist. No matter what, his instinct was to take the photos, coz that is what he do. It's like during an accident & a photographer keeps snapping pictures, tho it's irritating, it's their job. Blogging I believe is essentially part of Kenny's part time job (ofc, he's not paid but then... he got advertorial now doesn't he?)?

In whichever case, let this be a lesson to us all lar! Dun be overconfident behind the wheels, especially when ur not alone.

Wah Kenny, ur not so nice ler? Anonymous just put anonymous lar!! why put I'm a Chicken with No Name... /sigh... what a put down.

/scowl

Another lesson to all those drivers out there. Its nothing worth to get into an accident.

If you are wondering if what you can do to help the casualties, learn First Aid and CPR. You might save a life someday.

hey, Kenny! You did the right thing of calling the emergency number! Well done! Hope the driver and the kids are alright =)

believe me i know exactly how it feels. I dont think the driver could have survived the crash. Condolences...

p.s stop commenting about kennysia taking picture there. He is considered enough by not taking picture of the victims(there is no car plate number as well). He know what he is doing and he knows the consequences of this entry as well.

And next time please take note that dont move the victim on ur own unless u know what u are doing. u might kill the victim if u move them recklessly. Trust me, i know coz i am a doctor

well a message to all of you..please dont save a minute or two by endangering not only your life..but everyone elses too..my condolences..i m still surprised how you can snap so damn clear fotos also..

it is extremely insensitive of kenny sia to act like a papparazo and take photographs. Its almost as rude as going to a funeral and take pictures of the casket. you should be able to draw a line between journalism and being sensitive. its already bad that you didnt offer any help but standing there and taking photographs clearly show you lack moral fibre.

I don think its insensitive, he's just sharing his experience and he has offered so much help at the end too.. Did he take it so that he cud sell the pictures or make front page in a newspaper? Its hardly paparazzi or journalism! He just wanted to share wad happened. He also clearly wanted to help and now he has even offered financial help too.. gosh.. I feel bad for the family though and i wish that they rest in peace..

am so sad to see this.. condolences to the family members.

and i totally agree with radical85.

thanks kenny for sharing this news. you've offered what you can.

let's pray that the girl is ok *cross fingers*

oh no.. what a tragedy :(

Shouldnt have taken the photos.

He might be a blogger, first instinct was to take pictures when anything happens, and I can understand that.

I can understand that, but that doesnt makes him right.

He snaps picture, in abundance of them. I dont think those were anything meant for the so-called "police evidence". C'mon, the police have their men on that task.

And besides, those photographs were taken after the accident happened. If those photographs were showing the epics before the accident happened, or say captured the number plate of the car they were trying to overtake, that might helps.

In another words, shouldnt we say Kenny took those pictures and put them up mostly, if not solely for the benefit for himself to generate positive viewership? To enhance his presence in the blogosphere? To create a buzz around his name? So that to translate those intangible fames he already has on web, to real life so that so make them more keenly felt? Say... on national television maybe?

Viewership does go stagnant if you do not have something to stir it up once in a while, no?

I've always been told in an accident, do not go and carry the victims if you do not the right way. This is because the victims might suffer from a broken neck or bones and by carrying them might further cause them injury. My question is, how do we stop ignorant but good samaritan to try to move them to the hospital without waiting for ambulance? Some might argue, waiting for ambulance would take too much time or are you going to stand around and watch them die? So, where is cut-off line? To help or not to help, that is the question.

May God bless the person who survived that crash to have the strength to survive in life...

Calling the emergency number was the only thing Kenny could have done so he shouldn´t blame himself.

As for snapping photos... one or two for the purpose of "journalism blogging" (or whatever you guys coined it as) would have been sufficient to act as a reminder for the public on the importance of driving safely... So he might be taking a few more to get the "best shots" but posting so much photos... Yes, he´s being sensitive while taking these photos... but what was he thinking while snapping so much photos? the rationality still eludes me.

Perhaps you need bigger roads? double lane for safe overtaking?

This is truly sad. You couldn't have done more Kenny. Bless the family of the victims. May they be strong.

Please bear in mind that if not for KENNY sharing this piece of information with us, most of us wouldnt have known bout it. perhaps kenny is just trying to spread the word of caution or that drivers should be much more sensible and careful whilst driving.

not everything is about money, especially when it comes to issues bout life and death. so stop being so insensitive to the poor dude la.

WHY TAKE PHOTOS?!!

My condolences. May those who is gone rest in peace.

By the way Kenny, did any of the bystanders say anything or look funny at you when you were taking photographs on the scene? Do you take your camera every single place you go?

serves them right!!!...they deserved it!!!... this is what you get for driving recklessly. stupid!!!

MY CONDOLENCE!!

Oh my gawsh
wut a sad accident
i would have cried if i were there.

now i'm feeling all sad and sorry.

by the way, correction?
"For a long time I stood there in shock and distress, not knowing what to do except run around asking for help. for taking pictures.

it's so sad that kenny doesn't even have a short talk session in this post..

Oh my gawsh
wut a sad accident
i would have cried if i were there.

now i'm feeling all sad and sorry.

by the way, shouldn't it be:
"For a long time I stood there in shock and distress, not knowing what to do except for taking pictures."

instead of

Oh my gawsh

now i'm feeling all sad and sorry.

by the way, correction?
"For a long time I stood there in shock and distress, not knowing what to do except run around asking for help"

what makes a bit sad was you have the time to snap pics

oh shit.

sorry people!!!

ignore my previous comments!!!!

some HTML errors

what i really meant was
i don't think it's right to take pictures when accidents happened. really.

well, a picture paints a thousand words and in this case, it portrays the severity of the situation for us to appreciate the consequences, should we all try to pull off stunts, no?...much condolences...

I myself was involved in a self-accident many years ago. Praise God I am still alive. One thing u learn - DONT SPEED! Take ur time.

Its really tragic, My condolences

you don't do anything wrong....beside how can she survived in THIS kind of collision. even if you are a surgeon also no use.

Kenny has done his best. There is nothing else he can do to help.

Plus, this entry really remind us to becareful while driving. Wish the little girl is safe.

My condolences..

Stop criticising kenny!

it's just odd that you could be there not knowing what to do, but taking photos from so many angles certainly crossed your mind

hey, i just read about the accident on the newspaper this morning, and now, i read it on your blog... it's really sad to know these accidents happen... You are not to blame, kenny...don't be too hard on yourself~

"I had received First Aid training before, but when I was put into a situation like this, I honestly do not know how to react."

"For a long time I stood there in shock and distress, not knowing what to do except run around asking for help."

But i know how to go take out my camera and click here and there while seeing others actually DOING something to help the victims... Kenny you are so coward la instead of helping you act as though you really are a journalist! Not to mention you stop by roadside creating traffic jam! Ambulance also stuck in jam!

why don't you ask someone to take pictures for you while you pose? asshole...

heyy...u've done ur best Kenny...

indeed the best in helping out in the situation as well as the pix..

"why don't you ask someone to take pictures for you while you pose? asshole..."
Exactly, and why don't you suck in your fat stomach and stick your flabby chest out as well like all your puke-inspiring photos?

And what kind of explanation is that, daring others what other things they can perform? The point is what NOT to perform, ie taking pictures like an inconsiderate fat fuck such as yourself.

i support for kenny V^^V

my condolences for the family...
may they rest in peace...

i feel sorry for the young ones

The airbag, if the car had one in the first place, would likely not have deployed as the main impact of the truck hit the windscreen first and not the nose of the car.

This is an example of why most trucks in Malaysia (and probably around the world) are extremely dangerous - to other vehicles. Their bumpers cannot make contact with the crush zones of passenger cars because they are too high up.

There is an alternate design for truck bumpers which is closer to the ground and angled in such a way that the impact transfer to the other vehicle is done just right - to avoid accident outcomes like this one.

you were running around asking for help or snapping pictures?

What ever it is, the major point here is that lives were taken away just like that.

We should always keep this tragedy in mind when we are about to speed, drunk drive, cut lanes, dozing off, on our hp, no seat belts etc.

Let this be a lesson to all.

Bless the souls of those who died and may God take care of the little one who still lives.

Hi Kenny:
You have done enough,to be honest,most of the peoples do not know how to react when such incident happens,at least you are trying to help.:)

Kenny, i'm disappointed with you. You said you didn't what to do to help them. And you could do was taking photos and posted in your blog? That's bad. I regretted reading this post.

OH NO! I can imagine how you would have felt... I had to cover my mouth from quivering and held tears from my eyes just going through the photos....

You know, those people that kept saying about how you shouldn't be taking the photos and instead should be helping, seriously, what can you do at a time like this? There's really nothing you could do, and i hope by looking at the photos that Kenny has taken, it would remind everyone else to drive carefully and not end up like this... What more, with kids at the backsit... Seriously, it hit me harder than seeing the car under the truck when i see the photo of the lifeless kid's leg from the backsit...

I hope people will learn from these photos, and not make the same mistake as this young lady, and I hope their souls (i read this few times, u put 's' there, meaning there's more than 1, DAMNIT) rest in peace...

God bless the lil girl!
I know how serious head injury is cause my dad just came out from the Neuro ward himself.
It's so sad to witness the condition of ppl there.....

Well, I guess I would be a good driver........ for today, and may be tomorrow too.

Oh my...my heart sank too when i read this especially when the youngest kid is of the same age as mine!

Kenny, i can imagine the trauma that you will have to go through after witnessing this accident. You did what you could and this is a real good lesson for all especially when driving with the little ones. A good wake up call for some reckless drivers out there.

God bless the souls... :-(

From what I have read and seen here, those persons who are critising kenny (esp those who have done so after his explanation) can just fornicate off!

And for kenny - no need to be defensive about this - as long as you respected the victims by not showing their faces etc that is fine with me.

Well, kenny you have done what you suppose to do.. well done..
for those comment on snapping photo around.. jus put yourself in kenny position at that time.. u will feel what he feel-helpless feeling..
and my condolence..

Can you MORONSS!! stop asking Kenny why is he snapping photos instead and not helping around!!

As if you MORONS have inherited Superman powers that you can actually save the situation which Kenny can't! and Is he using YOUR handphone to take the pictures, that YOU felt so sore about? His not taking photos of the deceased so what is the big issue all about??

You did great kenny.

http://chinapress.com.my/content_new.asp?sec=malaysia&dt=2007-05-18
I am so sorry kenny...

wow..OMG..god bless them..

wah you ask people to call police ask who did the most? what are you trying to prove?

you did the right thing to call the ambulance, but after that you should had just leave since you already mentioned you don't know what to do, if don't know and feel helpless LEAVE the place then, you and the 30+ people there are just there creating a unnecessary scene (take pictures, discussing, take number to buy 4D etc...

Nobody here claims to be a superhero, my feeling is you done your part in calling ambulance, probably take a picture or two, but not hanging around there for a hour or more feeling "helpless"... you won't need to direct traffic if the 30+ people including you were to park their vehicles and motocycles by the roadside...

kenny is useless!

clearly those of you who've been criticising Kenny have never been involved or witnessed an accident before.
jerks.

Really dont understand what you guys want. I understand that some might say is rude to take photo on the accident scene. But kenny had done his part in helping to call the emergency number. He had did more that what we are willing to do. Try to put the incident on yourself, what would you do? You could be a bastard who will slow down your god damn car, causing terrible traffic jam just to have a better look on the incident only.
On yeah, go and write to the paper and screw those people who took photo on the accident scene la. I'm sure there are damn alot out there.

To those who commented on Kenny:

"Why take pictures?"

Please lah, if you got a blog and you've got thousand of people reading it, obviously you would wanna let your readers know about something that happened which does not occur in everyone's life. Reading on this post and looking at the pictures, it really made me realize the consequences of driving fast. Reality is that the person driving this car made a big mistake and it costed people lives. And you guys are making it sound like as if Kenny took pictures and made them got into a horrific accident.

i had my witness my fair share of accidents involving people lives as i work as a ambulance driver... in an ideal world i have to agree Sensible thinking is correct... don't stop and look if you don't know what to do, but unfortunately people are like that. Kenny did right in calling ambulance, then he should had left the scene. and not to critize you but for i know for sure every accident we received at least 2 calls as the operator will fear it is just a prank call.

Kenny, I am a medical student and I understand how bad helplessness feels in the face of emergency. However, it's the heart that counts, you couldn't have done much better.

I am not sure, but I would just like to share this article written by a medical student in a similar situation, it may help:
http://changyang1230.blogspot.com/2005/03/touching-article.html

While what Kenny did (taking photos in the accident) might seem controversial, ask yourself: what could you have done better, were you in his shoes? Stand around, becoming part of the crowd who stand there discussing "how the accident could have happened" and so on? Compared to the crowd, Kenny actually did so much more by posting this article and reminding everyone about the importance of safe driving.

Get over your knee-jerk reflexes. Kenny, although you couldn't have helped out much on the spot, you still did what you do best: disseminating public messages through your blog. And I thank you for that.

F.O.C.U.S.on the real issue - the consequences of reckless driving! and not whether its JUSTIFIABLE on the part of kenny to snap pics or not. idiots.

My condolence to the family of the departed members.

Hm.. i would feel out of respect for victims of the crash, the photos should not be publish. And perhaps this is a good topic of blog but still, instead of apologising that you are sorry Kenny, i felt that sometimes should be left unphotographed.

i cant imagine what would've i done if i was there.

aiyo kenny relax la you did your best adi ma.... don need to angry if you Kepo go busy body or Geh Gao go direct traffic...maybe you really expert in directing traffic since so many people log in to see your blog liaw... so you successfully pass your message to don't drive recklessly liaw adi lo... Peace!

I SERIOUSLY DONT SEE A POINT OF MAKING THE FACT OF PHOTO SHOOTING AS RIGHT OR WRONG.
I'd have agreed with you if he's taking photos of the bodies..but taking the accident scene does not mean he did not pay respect to the victims.
I dont understand why there are people try to say it's right or wrong. It's not a matter of right or wrong for certain things, eg. you choose to eat noodles of rice for your dinner.
And what else he could do better or help much, if he's not taking any photos at that time?
U'd never know so helpless when you are at the place of tragedy while you have nothing to offer but watch it!

MY deepest condolence to the unfortunate victims & their family.

& to 'Sulee' & 'abcde' & to those still slamming Kenny for taking pics, cant u guys read his xplaination? Pls-lah, get the facts rite b4 cincai say things and pls read the comments b4 u write 1 yrself. Watever it is, there is no need for Kenny to even explain. Common guys, this is a sad accident so QUIT asking the stupid question of "Y take pics?"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In another words, shouldnt we say Kenny took those pictures and put them up mostly, if not solely for the benefit for himself to generate positive viewership? To enhance his presence in the blogosphere? To create a buzz around his name? So that to translate those intangible fames he already has on web, to real life so that so make them more keenly felt? Say... on national television maybe?

Viewership does go stagnant if you do not have something to stir it up once in a while, no?

I like what he says. SO much truth in it.

First time commenting, but for the sake of the family of the dead please take down the photos.

I don't quite care about your intentions but don't you think their family has had suffered enough without you putting up photos of their wife, daughter, son on the internet?

My condolence and deepest sympathy.
Kenny, dont be upsad so much about the comments of why taking photos. Generally it's true u shouldt have taken those photos. It gives ppl lots of negative impression about u, remember ho u r a celebriti blogger, and one thing try not to reply to ur readers comments, show ur profesionality as blogger not easily shaken. sori about tat ho?

There's nothing wrong with taking the photos, so shut up! Stop writing bollocks with your comments and move on. Kenny is posting all this so that we all can learn from it. So to those narrow minded moaners who spent 24/7 complaining about this and that, reconcile yourself or get some counselling before it gets to your head and becomes serious.

This article is focusing on the horrifying accident and we all should feel sorry for the victim and slagging off Kenny Sia is not welcome.

May God bless the lost souls and my immediate thought is with their family.

What is wrong with you "social conscience" ??? FOCUS on the real issue.

Guess you were not so distraught as to have had the time to consider the implications of those photos you took AND to put them on your blog. If you're genuinely sorry for the victims and their family then I think you should remove the pictures at least. I would find it highly offensive, not to mention heartbreaking to find my loved ones paraded on a blog for everyone to see.

Hey Kenny, hope you're alright by now... and will not have a nightmare because of this.

I know sh*t happens... no words can comfort. Just a prayer.

Be safe.

yala feel sorry for the decreased la... and while you are at it feel sorry for the 1000000000 people who die in accident everyday around the world then!

TO SOCIAL CONSCIENCE,

Kenny did not take photos of the dead people!! and if the newspaper journalist can take photos of the wreckage, why not Kenny? or for all you know, if there are other bloggers who happened to be there, would probably also snap photos and share their thoughts about the accident in their respective blog!

In a way, Kenny is just showing his readers what he saw in that accident and to me it's a lesson for all to learn.

That's sad, I hope everything turns out ok. Especially for the sake of the kids.

As for the pics, it's fine, any journalist would do the same. You didn't show anything or shock value or anything distasteful.

This is the result of all those reckless driving. Hate such drivers.

Remembered when I went to Muar and drove alone the small road there, ppl there drove like hell drivers even the big trucks.

kept me awake throughout the whole journey.

Wonder why these ppl cant treassure both their own and others lives. Haiz

I believe Kenny took pictures to show some awareness in all of us that speed kills.

No point accusing Kenny of taking pictures when he should have done something (which god bless he did anyway), 4 lives have been lost what else can Kenny do, be god and give them life. Think before you comment guys. This message is for those who have been looking for the opportunity to shoot Kenny down.

Some people may say that's it's the driver's mistake and that slow is better. But things arent always what they seem.
Accidents like this are sometimes results of a driver infront driving RIDICULOUSLY slow and still being oblivious about it. They pay no attention to their hind-view mirror. And even if they did...they could have scoot a little bit for some room to be overtaken instead of the car behind having to go all over the other lane to overtake.
I know this might have nothing to do with this accident. But it pisses me off how these oblivious drivers are able to cause such horrible accidents and can still have no clue that they have caused them.

-my rm0.02-

kenny not pro la... who so free call police to check you hero anot? why? you want PM to give you a award for being a good citizen? if you feel you did the right thing then no need to defend yourself in the way you posted that message... so defensive and acted as you were the best in the lot.

Hey Kenny, credit where it's due, you helped out BUT you said "I took the photos only AFTER I had calmed down. And only AFTER I have ascertained that there was nothing else that could be done"

Dude, there is one picture of that man carrying the injured girl to the hospital.. Surely that wasn't after nothing else could be done rather than DURING something was being done..

For those of you who are unhappy about the photographs, why don't you write in to the local media or trashy tabloids, and tell them to stop publishing photos of accidents and other similar 'tragedies', because it is "immoral"?

Cliched, but "a picture speaks a thousand words". And given how intellectually-challenged some of Kenny's readers are, it is no wonder he chose to use photographs, because even if he is able to come up with words to aptly describe the situation and the message behind his entry, many would not understand.

I bet all of you discuss such pictures when you see them in the papers. Did you, for a moment, express disgust at the reporters or photo-journalists? If you did, why aren't you giving the reporters the same nonsense you are giving Kenny now?

Why is Kenny getting flak just because he is "not a journalist" - therefore he has no "right" to take photographs of the accident?

Kenny is *somewhat* a public figure and has public influence - we all know that. Instead of flakking him with senseless oh-so-holy-schmoly talk about how "disrespectful" he is, why don't you see the main point BEHIND the entry, which is very likely to be a simple "PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY".

I bet half of you detractors who posted the holy-schmoly comments about "oh this is so wrong you should not take photos it's so disrespectful" and stuff, are the very ones who kick small animals or watch pirated DVDs or spew vulgarities or listen to ripped MP3s. Yes, these might be VERY small issues (not the kicking of small animals), but nonetheless it all boils down the same thing - moral values.

Plz..Pray..not to critic bout the post and what kenny have done. he did what he done best..

go read chinese newspaper (if you know how to read chinese) which have more photos with blood and flesh than actually can hardly see from kenny's post. do you guys trying to say that the newspaper reporter trying to act unethiccally by snapping those photos for the public??? Sigh...stop arguement. it's breathless to argue anymore....

Pray for the souls, the 8month kid i saw very clearly in the pic frm newspaper really make my heart sank early this morning, so weak to see the nurses n doctors trying to check out whether there's still any sign of heart bit using the machine on her but sadly to know that she's died.

God Bless the souls and take care of the only survivor, she's still so young and have so much to learn =peace=

Actually, another lesson to be learnt here which most of you probably don't know is that: YOU SHOULD PUT SEAT BELT ON YOUR CHILDREN OR CHILD SAFETY SEAT AT THE BACK OF THE CAR FOR YOUR YOUNG KIDS. The kids could have survived the accident with minor injury if they have seat belt strapped on them. (of course, I am assuming that they were all at the back of the car during that time.) Can someone verify this?

For those who gave negative comment about Kenny Sia taking the photos, GO AND GET A SEX CHANGE.

END OF STORY

I love taking photos. When things like this happens, I'd be doing the same thing as what Kenny did. But one thing will be different. I'll take the photos AFTER everyone is cleared up and a confirmation on nothing else can be done. And I'll only take the photos of the accident scene on where and how it happened. I guess Kenny was so distraught at that moment. All he can do was to take photos. Anyway, my condolences to the effected families.

According to the report in the International Times (Kuching), the car lost control, not trying to overtake another car...... Kenny is right to stay at the scene and give his account of the accident to the police. Apparently, there is a conflicting report on the cause of the accident.

Hi kenny, how do u actually stood and u run ah? in your sentence 'For a long time I stood there in shock and distress, not knowing what to do except run around asking for help.'

Shame on you!I don't like the looks of this blog.
First of all, you said that you felt distraught. On the other hand, you were calmly taking photos from afar, left, right, centre and back of the accident.
What were you thinking of at that moment?
"A-HA,i have another story to blog about?"

Let me ask you..If the people involved in that car accident were your family members, will you still walk around taking clear photos of them lying there half dead?

Show some respect for other people's tragedy, please!

Good for you that you are earning money from your blog, but please not on other peoples death tragedy.

This blog emits fake compassion. I have no respect for it,(same as you not having respect on other people's tragedy) other than the fact that it publicise news that people like to read and gossip on.

Just for the record, I did not condemn the act of taking the photographs. I was just asking two simple questions relating to the photographs. There wasn't anything negative or against Kenny taking the photographs at all.

Kenny: For photographs taken using a camera phone, they sure are of high quality. What camera phone were you using?

eventhough i work with the accident claims company and i have seen plenty of accidents in my work.. i still panic when i'm at the scene of accident. Even minor ones.

Dun blame Kenny for taking the photographs. He just want to share what he saw.

First, my condolences to all the families involved; the victims in the car, the lorry driver and his kin, and, from my reading of the accident description, the car the Honda driver was trying to overtake. In truth, we can argue that the deceased deserve our greatest sympathy. But we must also consider the impact on the lorry driver's life, as well as others involved peripherally in the accident. Including all the witnesses.

Second, on the subject of photography. While I hesitate to bring up the notion of the theory of photography, and how both photographers and viewers are affected by the events photographed, I would recommend that those who can might read Susan Sontag's 'On Photography' and then comment further.

Some of you, if you are fair to Kenny and honest with yourself, will recognize a bit of your own experience in his lensmanship.

You whip out your camera, at a family gathering, and your literal view of the world changes - now the only things that matter are those viewed 'through' the view-finder - everything else is peripheral, and the 'shot' counts for everything.

Kenny, who might remember the bald ang moh from kayaking with Unker, did almost exactly what I would expect under the circumstances. And, I think I would do much the same. I have been at an accident, very similar to this, and know the sense of helplessness and powerlessness in the face of tragedy and death. I would argue, in Kenny's defense, that the ability to take the photos actually allows Kenny mental room to deal with the physical, emotional, and social devastation caused by a moment's hurry...

My condolences, again, to all those affected. I pray that everyone who wasn't there will honestly assess their beliefs about what they 'would' do, 'could' do, 'might' do, 'should' do.

May God have mercy on them all.

My first thought when I saw the photos was what the fark was Kenny doing taking photos left, right and center.

Instinct or not.Good story or not and everyone can argue 'till the cows come home.

It's just plain wrong.

Drive safe all.

Those who keep on with their criticizings u just dont get a point what is blogging all about? Sharing thoughts events places food anything interesting with all the readers. Simple! taking photos has nothing wrong since Kenny did his best calling emergency number, plus it is wise enough for him to share this with all of us , looking into the pictures i realised how serious it could be to drive recklessly. Its a lesson, a precious one. Thanks Kenny!

Those who keep on with their criticizings u just dont get a point what is blogging all about? Sharing thoughts events places food anything interesting with all the readers. Simple! taking photos has nothing wrong since Kenny did his best calling emergency number, plus it is wise enough for him to share this with all of us , looking into the pictures i realised how serious it could be to drive recklessly. Its a lesson, a precious one. Thanks Kenny!

Lanjiao! say nothing can be done only take picture but can take picture of good citizen who actually doing something carrying the victim to hospital, Kenny you sure can talk cock!

heidikho....same msg no need to post twice one... unless you forgot to put ur blog link to direct some traffic to ur blog....pathetic!!!

Erm n i hv no idea y my comments appear in another nick name?. U ppl who keep on with the insults, u know urself nothing better than anything!

eh greedy bloggers if u know noting of how it turns out like tat pls its not of ur concern, u dun hv to bother! I dun leave comment for u!

idiot. what compassion do you have? standing around doing nothing. nothing it seems, if there was nothing, why was a man carrying a half dying girl out of the car, was she too heavy for you? or are you too pussywhooped to look at some blood?

BLOODY DISGRACE FOR ONE HOW CLAIMS HE KNOWS FIRST AID

give some respect to the family, remove this photos and posting. maybe we should do the same if your family is involved in the same kind of accident.

oh look, an accident!

*standing and looking dumbfounded*

maybe i should call for help.... oh no mobile reception, damn... ok la... can't do anything...

*runs around like a headless chicken for a while*

... ahh... time to take some pictures of the dead and half dying children and woman...

*will get me good hits for my blog... WOW*

IDIOT...

i agree wif kenny.sia.the.idiot!!!

fucking kenny why take photos...u want to be a hot shot issit? macibai!!!

It does make us think, doesn't it?

Think about, what the lady had gone through over her life, studying, accumulating wealth, building a family, and it was all taken away from her, and 2 of her children, because of one mistake. Think about, her loved ones, the husband, the relatives, and her friends. How would they feel?

It makes me think - since life is so fragile, we should really live life happy. I know, that's the cliche of all cliches, but it's true, isn't it? Stressing over not being able to finish certain tasks in time, worrying about money... what if you die tonight? Would all those things still matter? "Live everyday like your last" - how true now, huh?

May they rest in peace.

be a man and remove this posting. makes me wanna puke

Not easy being a celeb blogger wo. good luck kenny on receiving all the harsh comments.

to some childish people,

you sure you can do what you talked in here?

can you be so calm to do those things if it really happens in front of you?

or you just watched too many hongkong dramas, and think you're the hero in the dramas?

how inconsiderate!!!

1. Taking those pics weren't wrong.

2. To those who say we can 'learn' from this post and the pic... WHAT TO LEARN?? We all know speed and stupidity kills.

3. Just curious though... you said you took the pics after you have calmed down. The 7th pic showed someone in a motorcycle helmet carrying the little girl away. I wondered, wouldn't it be better if you had offered your car to transport the girl instead?

angel, nobody wants to be a hero, nobody is asking to be a hero, but this posting is crap.

even if he just wrote the article, it would be... but with pictures, and claim innocence by being dumbfounded... it's bullshit

kenny sia, what you did was wrong and there is no excuse for it.
once a blogger crosses the line, he loses safe harbour and if you dont know what that means go ask a civil lawyer.
sorry kenny but posting this was low. dont say posting pictures was for stimulating open debate later cos if the media gets wind of this, we all might have to register to blog. and that ain't funny at all

kenny remove the posting

pls stop whinging about kenny taking those photos. who are we to judge? so long as we take part in his blog by viewing his pix, we have no right to judge the blogger and his social conscience.

do the right thing at least this time

To those who criticized me for putting up this entry thinking that I'm some sorta cold-hearted animal who goes around snapping photos of accident scene. Let me set the record straight.

What You Thought Happened:

Kenny passed by the accident scene. "Wah! Got accident. Better come down take picture!" *snap* *snap* *snap* Left the scene because happy got things to blog about.

What Actually Happened:
3:15pm. A bystander stopped my car asking for help. I called 991. Yes, we were frantic and in shock, but we tried to do what we can. We managed to stop more cars passing by and ask help. Soon, about 5 people came to our assistance.

3:20pm. We checked on the victims. There was a lot of blood but no movement. I was still in shock and distraught and I did not dare to approach the cars too close because I was scared, but the braver ones did. One Malay guy checked on each one inside the car and ascertained one child was still breathing and she was rushed to the hospital with the assistance of a Chinese guy.

3:40pm. A crowd of about 20 bystanders started to form. A traffic jam was also starting to occur so we took turns directing traffic. After my turn, a guy took over from me and I returned to investigate the wreckage. I was still distraught but by instinct I took some photos with my Samsung X820 phone. I didn't take the photos for fun. I took it because it is not everyday that I witnessed a horrific accident like this. In fact, it was my first and I wanted to document it.

3:45pm A Malay guy (shown in photo 20070518-3.jpg) picked up one of the young child from the front seat. He chanted Muslim prayers after realising that the girl he was holding on was no longer breathing and placed her to rest on the back seat.

3:50pm There was really not much any of us could have done except guarding the wreckage to ensure no looting of the victims goes on (yes, this kinda sick things do happen) So I basically talked to the guys around me about what a sad thing this incident is.

4:00pm The ambulance and police arrived. I gave my account of the story.

4:15pm I left and returned to work.

You guys sure have a lot to say about me posting up this entry. But how many of you truly cared about the young girl still battling for her life in the hospital.

The LEAST you could do is call Sarawak General Hospital (+6082 257555), find out about her condition, and if need be, pledge a donation to her family.

If you have already done so, you have my praise. If you haven't, shame on you.

MasculinEndings, that's all he wants, for us to visit his blog... to get his ratings and hits up...

kiran, as you wish. I have removed your postings.

"I didn't take the photos for fun. I took it because it is not everyday that I witnessed a horrific accident like this. In fact, it was my first and I wanted to document it."

so this is a serious bit of HISTORY in YOUR LIFE that needs to be documented la...

in all his GLORY Kenny Sia witness a FATAL ACCIDENT and took some pictures....

really makes me throw up

I think kenny didnt do anything wrong,He cant do anything at that time,like what he said just now,he only learn BASIC first aid...with this serious accident..what do u expect him to do?standing there like a fool?no way man!he got a story to share with us,and that's his job.if he didnt show us this blog...just imagine how many people will repeat the same mistake?

Jasonlicious... you don't know that speed kills?

Aiyo, give the guy a breaklah, whats the point of having more people scolding him, wont change what happened and at least he stopped to help, i bet more then half the readers here would have just driven past

can't take the heat

this is the price you have to pay

Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction.

TO ALL OF YOU READING THIS

what if I was the one TAKING PICTURES of and accident with YOUR DEAD OR DYING FAMILY members

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

You are the kind of idiot blogger that alot of people would hate and alot of people would like. For me, you're too cute and wholesome and no such person exists in this world. You come off too fake.

What's wrong about this is that you're posting pictures of dead people on the road, in an accident and claiming you're sorry.

Good job. My hero. There's nothing sorry about shocking things up once in a while to keep those viewership high is that?

Please stop this fakeness. Be an asshole if you want to but I'm sure you're more happy taking those pictures thinking about your latest post than you were feeling sorry for the dead victims.

p.s. kenny.sia.the.idiot@gmail.com is a valid address, so please... PLEASE... leave me your comments... i would like to know what goes on in those heads of yours.

Lol like what you are doing, if you dont know what his true intentions on posting the pictures were, then best you dont judge otherwise just like what you said, someone will repay the favour and bite u in the ass in the future. Have a nice day.

WHAT was our MAIN concern again?...oh right?!!! its the ACCIDENT and its cause?...but look what ALL RIGHTEOUS malaysians are on about? oh yeaaah that kenny should remove his posts and pictures because they generate too much publicity and rumours ... whatever happened to the people who wanna share their thoughts out of goodwill?...oh right! they CANT cos the local newspaper will do it anyways -- why bother?

sighs. typical malaysians. how depressing.

remember, "...it takes ONE to know ONE..." :)

kenny.sia.the.idiot, I think that is enough. Obviously you are not interested in listening and more interested in yelling abuses at me.

If You Cannot Help, Don't Shout.

Don't Talk The Talk, Walk The Walk.

can't take the heat kenny?

removing my postings ain't gonna help you out on this one...

hey kenny, why do u thnk you have to specify the the model of you phone?

... so yeah so i took the photos with "my SAMSUNG X820 PHONE"

u looking for a sponsor or smthn? or just showing off?

while there's nothing wrong in taking photos, cos i couldn't have done anythn else but watch as well, it's probably best not to publish the photos. if it was someone i knew in the accident im sure as hell i wouldn't want to see those pics.

ps. zeroX, while trucks do have higher torgues and horsepower, this doesn't take into account their weight, and cargo (if any). to go from zero to 60 takes like a minute or smthn. very hard to accelerate, not to mention slow down (momentum shit).

Reminds me of that quote people always say, arguing on the internet is like the special olympics, even if you win you're still retarded. Lol.

oh yeah but its gud tho that you didn't show the victim's body

well, if you didn't delete my comments, it would show that i wasn't yelling abuses at you. but it's just my own opinion of your posting.

hij, I published the name of the phone I used because commenter khensthoth asked me what type of phone camera I used.

With regards to publishing the photo on my blog, I don't think I did anything wrong because photos of car accidents appear in our local newspapers everyday and the photos that went to print were a lot more gruesome. I would think local Malaysians have a lot more tolerance of that seeing as how they are perfectly fine that our newspapers published these photos.

newspapers are to REPORT incidents...

Reporters don't talk about how shocked or distraught they were...

be a man and accept the criticism.

that's all from me today, i've got better things to do.

oh?...you'll be surprised how newspapers filter vital information and allow us to know what are permitted to know...

stop preaching for heaven's sake. what exactly do you want KENNY SIA to do?

Whats up with this whole Kenny taking pictures thing?? He just took pictures of accident scence, and don't the newspapers reporters always do so? So do you go scolding all the reporters for taking the pictures?? Kenny was being a good resident to help out at the scene, yet you guys are here talking like this!

HE HELPED, by calling the emegency line, and directing the traffic. WOULD ANYONE OF U HAVE DONE SO IF U WERE AT THE SCENE?? I am sure more than half of u would have just stood there. And why will u just stand there? You will surely answer "cause I did not know what to do." Now this "not knowing what to do" thing happened on Kenny, BUT at least he called and helped out! So whats this whole problem? At this kind of accidents, nothing much can be done.

And Kenny is being nice here, to show you guys, all his readers the importances of safe driving. He cares, and he doesn't want this thing to happen to any of his readers.

Those people who gave the critism are people who can't think right!

Kenny, I am sure you did your best. Cheer up.

My deepest condolences to the family involded in the accident

Kenny is being heartless?? You people have been critizing non stop on this post is merely because this blog owner is KENNYSIA. If it had been posted by a nobody, none of you would even care to leave such comments. Now tell me who's the fucker here?

Kenny, ignore those bastards and dont take it so hard. They are just a bunch of pretentious pathetic pigs with attitude problems who think they are so righteous. They are in fact nobody but HYPOCRITES.

By scolding Kenny Sia is not gonna bring back those deceased back to life. Can you guys just stop it? Get on with your life. Pathetic moron.

Those who are obsessed with the fact that this entry has pictures should have a life.

I reckon from what I read is that the people above who criticize Kenny should stop buying all newspapers and magazines (gossip or disaster). Because you are saying that people who takes the pictures and keeping you all informed of what is happening are being distasteful. Go be a hermit. So Kenny being at the scene and blogs it online is like just acting as what every other newspaper etc are doing.

Because you are not at the scene so you do not have the RIGHT to criticize. Accidents takes forever to clear and Kenny has done what he can, i.e. asking for help. I have a friend in high school who died in a car accident because NO car stopped and asked for help. So stop criticizing and go celebrate the fact that you are still alive and breathing and enjoying God's grace.

hey kenny, don't feel too bad, at least you weren't there to congest traffic majority of malaysians do, and you didn't stop for the purpose of jotting down the car plate number. these people i mentioned only jam up the roads, they slow down their cars just to look but they don't actually get down to help. i mean, what's the point of looking at the accident when they aren't gonna get down and rescue the victims or offer any kind of help? why not just drive quickly so that the ambulance can arrive quickly without getting stuck in traffic jam? malaysia is a country with first class facility [not] but third world mentality.

It's very hard to please everyone. So just do whatever you feel is right Kenny. No matter what you are still the best blogger!

cheer up!

I don't understand those who gave negative comments on this blog entry. I know Kenny can be a little attention craving but since it's his style and we chose to read his blog, why bother? Bloggers are some sort of freelance writers and it's up to him what he wants to write about. I think if you guys read this story from bloggers like Jeff Ooi you wouldn't condemn him right? Cause he's a more serious stuff writer. You guys just tag Kenny as a funny writer and expect all his posts to be amusing. =/

please, for For Heaven's Sake, drop this nonsense about safe driving....

this has nothing to do with safe driving...

if you don't know how to drive safe, or don't already do so... you deserve to be under that truck...

kenny: yes a blog is to DOCUMENT happenings in the blogger's life but shouldn't you be more humane and have some compassion for the deceased and their family? it would have be OK if you had wrote about it and left the pictures out...

my 2 cents.

To the chicken shit who posted comment with the nickname "Kennysia.is.an.idiot". You seemed to be very disturbed. Go and get a sex change, you idiot!

You dont even have the guts to publish your own name which shows how chicken shit you are. Dare you criticize people like Kenny Sia. I think he has more moral than you, fishbrain. Get a life!

I am more distraughted to read comments like this from idiots who gave negative comments about the photo now!

Kenny..kenny...let's do everyone and the victims a favour by removing this blog or removing all the photos.

The key point here is RESPECT!!

Touch wood: Here is an example:
You wouldn't post a photo of your dead family member on the blog and say "oh look here, i feel so distraught coz one my my family member is lying in the coffin now. Oh well, anyway, this is the coffin and you can see a hint of his hair color from this angle"

No no..you wouldn't do it, coz you respect and love your family.
Right?

Moral of the story?
Don't do onto others what you wouldn't want others to do onto you.

Understand? i make myself clear?

please don't compare a BLOG to NEWSPAPERS.

to all kenny sia balls lickers, you so like to defend him change ur surnames to sia ok? people have the right to criticize kenny and if kenny want to defend his own site let him do himself like what he is doing now, no need you balls lickers come say this and that or quarrel with people like kenny.sia.the.idiot

Click and the "x" and get a life, ng

Mr. Ng, exectly what i was trying to say... but in a much nicer manner... kudos...

AJP a.k.a kenny.sia.the.idiot

Guard the car from people looting??!!?? so if got people loot, you whip out your handcuff and arrest them a? please la you want to hang out there to experience the situation just admit don't give all these bullshit... so like to guard go be security guard at bank then!

my deepest condolence to the family who involve in the accident. Hopefully the child will be alright soon.

seriously.. those bashing kenny should get a life. the main point of this post is to advice ppl to DRIVE SAFELY. kenny is a person who always takes pictures so obviously its his natural instinct to take pictures. and about him specifying his camera model is because different models might not take such good quality pictures.

if you are unhappy with kenny, why are you still here? jeez. you don't know how it feels to be in his shoes so don't go shooting your head off.

condolences to the victims.

I'm A Chicken With No Name. BWAK BWAK BWAKKKKK!: Why don't you go f*ck yourself? More like you are a chicken with no balls.

Fake loser trying to appear compassionate.

If you are that symphathetic and emphatetic, you would call the ambulance and buzz off knowing that you could not do anything else.

Go back to the office, make a silent prayer and get on with life.

Let the real reporters to the rest.

well, to "I'm A Chicken With No Name. BWAK BWAK BWAKKKKK!" youre defending the other bashers too, why not change to their surnames, huh?

just get over it ppl.. youre making a big fuss over kenny taking pictures.. so hard to please everyone..

Kenny, if u meant it I believe that setting a fund for the kid is one of the option. Be it education or medical fund

wow today i login and see one of the most commented blog in such a short time! Not to mention kenny seems very pissed as he keep answering all these scoldings... but i think kenny don't bother to answer them, you seems so desperate to defend yourself, and of course you won't use your car to drive the girl to hospital, what if blood stained your interior? might as well take pictures at all angles that would shame even the most professional insurance agent or journalist right? Please don't say you are much better compare to the rest of the crowd, you ain't different from them. yeah donate all the money you have and say the rest of 25 million malaysian who didn't as cold blooded then.

So funny "I'm A Chicken With No Name. BWAK BWAK BWAKKKKK!" want to fuck himself wahahaha....

looks like kenny got an alterego in kennysiatheidiot ala spidey and venom......

kenny! gogogo take more pictures of accidents robbery kidnapping fire and fights! i like to see!

Kenny ignore all these people...you are god and you know that! The best of the best!

Anyone who wishes to teach kenny about respect can just email him privately. There is no need to do it so publicly. The accident has been distressing enough for him. Please.

Most dulan all the people want to type FUCK but no balls and type f@ck or f*ck instead! FUCK YOU

Aww...it ain't your fault.

If I'm in Kenny's shoes, I'll help the victim. But as Kenny was said, there's no much thing you can do as a mere mortal.
Plus, the reason why the motorcyclist bought the girl to the hospital is because the motorcycle is much FASTER and can go QUICKER to the HOSPITAL to SAVE the GIRL'S LIFE!.

Kenny ignore all these people...you are god and you know that! The best of the best!

Posted by: Melissa at 18 May 2007 2:17 PM

Ok... the above comment really made me go WHATTHEFARK??!

Why so many photos? Why ones w/ legs? Is there nothing better to do?

What on earth were you thinking while snapping so much photographs? Your rationality eludes me still.

The focus wasnt anymore on the family. What were you thinking?

Commenter 'wjlim', his comment werent exactly favourably to you, but those werent exactly unconstructive neither. There are some truth in it.

Subconciously, you are generating hits to your site.

After reading the newspaper and looking at the picture you posted, especially with the child leg sticking out of the backseat, it really hurt me emotionly. My condolence to the father who lost his family.

The reason they use a motorcycle to fetch the girl is NOBODY offer their car to fetch la DUH.... blood on the interior can't wash off you know...the smell stays and all car user are just selfish, including me and you kenny haha! admit it la,

TIME AT STAKE! I mean if Kenny is Superman, I'm sure he'll fly te car with the passenger to General Hospital.
And i'm sure if he's like Tru (Tru Calling), he would help the deceased and the little girl when he wake up the next morning! By that, he would not go to work and he's salary would be cut off.
Remember, no one's perfect. Tell me what you gonna do in that situation? TELL ME! And of course you can.
Kenny, you did what you can do and I respect you for that.

Oh should we pity kenny sia because it's distressful for him for receiving negative comment on his prestigious blog?
Who posted the blog to invite comments in the first place? Who asked for it?
If he is so distressed? Why not jus disable the comment column??
He should feel distressful at the time of the accident, distressful enough for him to leave the scene knowing that he do not have the balls to carry the little girl out of the car.

By the way, even if we type F*ck or Fark or FUCk or FOOK ...they all mean the same feeling. Doesnt matter how we write it.

And if his fans pray to him like god, just call him when you or your families are faced with any tragedies or accident. He will dash right to your place and take photos and blog it bfore the reporter do.

kee,

you really got good skills in sarcasm

some of you malaysians are REALLY malaysians. you guys just love to complain abt every single thing.

very typical of you jealous fucks who also can't take that someone has a successful blog. so what? no happy ah? make your own blog la diu! don't like what he posts, don't read la diu!

there's nothing wrong with taking photos when it's death related (funeral, accident, etc). stupid malaysians!

hope someone nukes this fucking country.

...and this is the news from Utusan Malaysia.
http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/content.asp?y=2007&dt=0518&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Dalam_Negeri&pg=dn_09.htm
I wonder how the Utusan reporter manage to put it very quickly in the web. I mean, it's just happened moments ago.

kee has his point

sarcasm or not, i dunno. But he just made a good point.

If it is me, i will stop my car, scare and panic, use my samsung phone which is the best phone in the world cause it can call in rural areas where other phones can't to call ambulance, and use it's super clear zoom geng geng sibeh gaolat camera to take pictures left, right, bottom, front, too bad it kenot fly up to give a aerial shot if not paling best! and then i will try the best to contact the girl and give her donation, not to mention ask everyone to do the same cause i am a good guy hehe.

Moral of story: SAMSUNG paling best! nokia motorola hamilanjiao brand all go far far!

WHY NO PIC OF U SUCKING IN YOUR TUMMY AND STICKING OUT YOUR CHEST???? CLAIM TO BE SO MUSCULAR, GYM RAT ETC. CANNOT EVEN CARRY A YOUNG GIRL?

LOL... nuke the country because of ONE blog post.

Thanks guys.

For your info, i am one of kenny sia's devoted readers, until today.
I have never leave any positive or negative comments in his blog bfore, until today.

He had jus gone way to far with his "photographic" skills.

As i read his blog, the word "fake" "fake" "fake" keeps popping in my mind and i could not contain the frustration in me any longer.

I need to give him a piece of my mind coz KENNY SIA YOU HAVE GONE WAY TO FAR THIS TIME!!!

Learn your lesson well. No need to defend yourself.
Everyone makes mistakes at one point or another.
Learn from it, apologise, take out the photos and move on with life.

Kenny,

Ignore those moron who know how to criticize only. If i were in your shoe, i might be doing the samething also. The picture you posted is a lesson to all rackless driver and those tail-gaters.

Even the rescue team need a JCB excavator to pull the lorry and the vehicle apart, those moron reader expect you to use your bare hand?

You have all my support.

Sorry kenny. i dont mean to be such a shitass. I am a pathetic loser. you know i looked at the mirror all the time and i knock my head against it a 100 times a day. I have a very small brain infact. Didnt mean to critize you.

Kenny, lai

My friend hor, his friend de friend de friend...

whatever la...

the friend's friend's friend de family member passed away le.. from accident

come KL, help them take photographs and post in blog can?

bring your gaolat camera come. dont bring dunno hamilanjiao brand de camera. must clear one!!

hor, den hor.. put 10 pictures enuf la.. no nid much.

Dear Kenny,

Keep to what you believe is right. Ignore the negative comments. One man's meat is another's poison. Who is to say what is tasteless or not?

I am a Kuchingnite currently in the Mid East on assignment. I see broken bodies and sprawled inards everyday. Smashed up skulls and burnt torsos. On TV. Tasteless?

By the way, I bet those complaining about the photos are the same ppl who slow down everytime there is a crash to have a look. Known also as neck benders. Bigots lar this ppl.

By the way, this is no accident. It is a crash. Completely avoidable. So, to other drivers out there...be careful when you drive. 90% of crashes are avoidable with patience and good driving skills.

I am kee's friend actually. He satisfy me physically everyday so i had to support him. sorry kenny. dont mean all that i said. LOL

Malaysia government faster react!! got a terrorist want to nuke malaysia liao, faster check his/her ip address and arrest her before it is too late!!!

I have something to say to those lunatics who leaves all those harsh messages to Kenny...

I think you guys are a bunch of problematic, deprived of love people who probably have records at a Mental Institution. This is his blog, he can put up anything he wants to, if you can't stand him then stop visiting his blog and stop looking at the photos!

Kenny, be a professional and don't bother arguing/replying to these idiots..let them bark like a mad dog if they want to. Let them have their cheap thrills on your own blog!

thank you for the help any where. Just hope to tell me that are the two young kids still breathing the moment you take the pics? thanks...

You know.. the thing that I can't stand is not Kenny's post but no-brainer comments!
Some of them really make me go WHATTHEFARK?! (or FUCK, as kee would want me to spell)

Kenny is God??!!
The picture you posted is a lesson to all rackless driver and those tail-gaters.??? It's a Head ON COLLISION FOR GOD's SAKE!

oh nvm.. I'll never win

if you are going to chastise this blogger for taking photos of an accident, how about going up to the traffic department or your government and givin em a tight slap across the face for erecting billboards with pictures of accidents to warn you against speeding?

Sure there are some moral issues but then again, all he did was take pictures of the wreck and not pictures of a lifeless body.

Sure he could have taken the girl into his car instead of the motorcyclist..but hey, were you there? what if the motorcyclist had grabbed her quicker than he could? heck, hes even offering financial backing for the kid..how many of you argumentative cynical bastards would do that?

Ken, you are right. i am such a loser. You see, i am small in size (as in my most important part). I looked at myself i feel like puking all the time. Sorry for being such a pain. I am pathetic and I will eat cow dung for a day just to reconcile myself.

I really hope that all of you can stop giving comment. Maybe a prayer would be a better option. All of us really needed that. Please...

My deepest condolences to the family of the victims who are now probably going through one of the worst times of their lives both in denial and in grieve. May God bless the lil girl that's now fighting for life is the hospital and may she learn to live with this incident and recover from it in time.

And now a note to Kenny Sia, dude, I've always respected your guts, your creativity and your talent in keeping our lives up to date and filled with laughters. A blog is a pretty personal thing and you have the rights to write anything you want it in (well, almost) but I feel maybe u should stop for a moment, a second and imagine if that car belonged to your loved ones and you were reading about it while viewing those pictures in sm fella's blog. Like i said, it aint wrong, but smhow, it doesn't feel that right either eh?

Keep up the good work but learn from these entry.

"what if the motorcyclist had grabbed her quicker than he could?"

Hello? Maybe it's because he was not holding a state of the art technology camera in his hands? That is why he has both hands to save the girl?

While someone was busy taking photo of him carrying the girl? Get it?

If you don't, you can scroll and see the evidence kenny sia took himself?

geez, if you guys are SO frigging disturbed by kenny's post, leave and don't ever come back then, this blog is all about him not you.

Furthermore it is not like he is forcing you at gunpoint to stay. Just GTFO. =/

After reading those comments, i notice that there are a lot of crazy ppl around.... I think it is because of the stressful life we are having now... I don't see any single point of the argument at all...It makes me scared cos there are too many crazy ppl around and I don't even know if he/she is sitting next to me.

Transferring a severely injured little girl by motorcycle?

One commenter said something that hit me pretty hard; WHY didn't Kenny volunteer his car to take the girl to the hospital?

Oh, and superb pictures, btw. Top hole stuff. My condolences to the deceased, but sorry, none for Kenny and the flak he's getting.

Hey Chill, Whatisthis. There are not many crazy people, just a few kids using different nicknames complaining about this and that. :)

kenny,

i teach you laaa

you go buy The Star newspaper. Flip over to the obituary page. One by one go visit them, take photographs and then post them on blog.

What? Nothing wrong ma.. You got your sibeh gaolat camera woo..

And if his fans pray to him like god, just call him when you or your families are faced with any tragedies or accident. He will dash right to your place and take photos and blog it bfore the reporter do.

LOLLLLLL

Has it occured to you guys that Kenny Sia could be sitting behind the desk now, reading each of the comments and giggling in victory.

At last he created enough chaos to bring more readers to his blog.

He achieved his objective at last.
Hail to kenny sia.

LOLLLLLL

Dear Kenny & everyone,

I didn't write the earlier comment of

"yala feel sorry for the decreased la... and while you are at it feel sorry for the 1000000000 people who die in accident everyday around the world then!"

so you know, I original comment was, I hope you (kenny) are alright.. not being traumatize with this incident. Be safe!

If this comment come out differently from what I type now... I don't know.. maybe I shouldn't write anything in the first place.

you've done your best as a citizen, ignore what others says.

dont think those people that give you negative comments will have the same reaction as you, which is actually come down and help and help to control the scene. they might also not think of taking picture, as picture can in a way help the police to futher investigate the accident.

so, those people that give negative comment probably, will be those slowing down( and create traffic jam) just to see what's happening and say, "wah.. there got accident oh... "

you have done a good deed, good job.. and god will bless you...

would you ALL please STOP!!

The pictures alone does not disrespect the victims. The commotions in this comment section does!

If any of you have the at least one ounce of sympathy, shut up and leave this at it is now.

Removing this blog will remove ALL COMMOTIONS.

Kenny? We're waiting...

WOhoo so funny, mario, i got a fren ho, she punya breast big big dua liap ni wan....so she less chances of accident lor since you say accident ppl mostly rackless wad XD summore you fully support kenny, go vote for him in general election ok! make banner to sorak gao gao!

Sorry is all I could say

Dear Kenny,

managing trauma victims are disturbing..since you are the 1st at the scene...

l would not advise carry the victims by yourself in this situation due to a possiblity that the victims could had a spinal injuries and possible cervical/ neck frature...carry them around in the way in the picture could already killed the gal or cause more injuries..

If you are unfortunate again to be in this situation again..always protect the victims neck by stablising the neck on the road...sandwich your legs in between the victims' head so as no to let them turn their head side to side...
talk to the victims (this can check the airway)..and don't give them anything to eat or drink!!! if they are in shock..put ther legs up and wait for help...

you cannot do much in this situation...we are not mobile hospital..there is only so much you can do..

Takr care of yourself..it's not easy to forget these incidents...taking and chatting with your friends will be a great way to relieve the stressors...

Journalist and reporters taking photos of the accident = Their just doing their job.

Newspaper post the photos of the accident = Good, so that everyone can know what actually happened.

Kenny Sia took the photos and blog about it = Shit ass stuff to do. Being not sensitive, being a pussy.

Come on, what the fuck with you guys out there. You guys who kept criticize people around and never learn is it? I bet if you were in the scene you are only one of those who cause the traffic jam and instead of coming down and help, you just slow you car and look at it. Seriously, do you think that the income he generates through this blog sphere is enough for him cover up his fancy lifestyle? He is not a poor guy that needs to attract some bunch of pussies like all of you who criticize, just for the sake of generating some advertisement income ok?

If you guys think that Kenny is really being harsh and what he did is really wrong, why not you guys go and complain to the newspaper? Start a campaign to protest against what he did instead of being a chicken and come out with stupid nicks and drop idiotic comment. You guys just talk like there's no tomorrow, ask yourself what have you done for the victim's family.

To tell the truth, without reading from Kenny's blog, I don't even know that there's an accident like this happened. At least he did something, but you? Really shame on you guys. I'm shame on myself also since I didnt read the newspaper everyday. But Kenny, you have our support. Just ignore those cock talkers around

Don remove the pictures!!! i want to show my friends that the samsung phone camera sibeh clear, clearer then wad nokia and its kanineh karl gneiss or wad shit camera punya photos... Mr samsung will be so proud sob sob...

andrew:

never read newspaper?

Kenny sia, listen here.

There are a lot of commotions created here in this blog.

It's not emiting positive energy to the victims.

Remove it so that everyone will rest in peace.

This is the least you can do for the victims and your readers

ladies and gentlemen, let me first say that from a neutral point of view each and everyone of you be it pro-Kenny or anti-Kenny are in the wrong.

Let us not forget that we are all brought up differently and have different ethics and cultures instilled in us. Some might say that taking photographs of an accident is unethical and vice versa.

Please learn to respect your opponent's views as your opponent might have been brought up in a different society and might feel that what you think is right is actually wrong. Tolerance is the key my friends. We will not go far if we get so easily worked up by a few words from the opposite.

Nobody is right in this case and dear Kenny, I think it is best you do something to satisfy both parties. Perhaps keeping the post there but removing the photos might bring peace to all?

Let us not be strayed away from the actual issue here. The accident was a tragedy which shouldn't had happened in the first place. Please do not be overconfident behind the wheel. Drive safe and take care everyone.

Good job by posting up photos of tragedies /accidents?
DISAGREE

You don't worship him every day and nite hoping for lotteries / better career / getting healthier every year / long life just like praying at other temples, don't you?
WHY GOD? lolz...

Those who posted negative comments are morons?
HMM.. EVERYONE IS FREE TO EXPRESS THEIR THOUGHTS. OTHERWISE, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMMENT BOX?

I BELIEVED THAT THESE PPL WHO POSTED UP NEGATIVE COMMENTS ARE TO ADVICE HIM, BUT, POSTED IN DIFFERENT WAYS OF WRITING / PRESENTING THEIR THOUGHTS.

Perhaps, things would be better if the photos weren't posted in the post.

I think it was kind of Kenny to try to assist the victims even if it was just to lend others his cell phone. I dont think his pictures will be used as police evidence. The police will probably has their own photo evidence. But the adjusters and claimant's will probably want the photos for use at the trial of the action. Kenny might be called as a witness since he was at the scene of the accident and he, Kenny Sia is the only identifiable witness to the accident for blogging about it..:-)

I've been a reader for a long time Kenny and I think even you know that this post is totally not your style. At least I hope it isn't.

Perhaps you were a little eager to share with us your experience but the photos are not necessary. I know I would hate having my loved ones tragic photos plastered on a website.

I've always thought you to be kind, sensitive and considerate, be that then to this family. Search your heart Kenny, and do the right thing.

This is by far the best comment!!

http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2007/05/trauma.php#c373038

If it is me, i will stop my car, scare and panic, use my samsung phone which is the best phone in the world cause it can call in rural areas where other phones can't to call ambulance, and use it's super clear zoom geng geng sibeh gaolat camera to take pictures left, right, bottom, front, too bad it kenot fly up to give a aerial shot if not paling best! and then i will try the best to contact the girl and give her donation, not to mention ask everyone to do the same cause i am a good guy hehe.

Moral of story: SAMSUNG paling best! nokia motorola hamilanjiao brand all go far far!

nobody can actually actually react at such a situation
sum times da so-called first-aid learning would become useless in such a situation,instead saving da victims u may actually cause death.

Gosh, what a freak incident it is. My condolences to the family.

Those that criticized, think twice before you post. Kenny took the guts to take those photographs and shared the moment with all of us here.

Kenny is just sharing his experience with us, this is his blog, not a public forum, what is there for you guys to judge good or bad?

You called him cowards, i bet you'll peed in your pants when you see dead bodies at the scene.

Please guys, this is a very good lesson to learn, and Kenny did GREAT, i repeat, he did GREAT by posting his entry.

Those that not happy with this, you can always leave, there's so many other blogs and internet content to read, the world doesn't end at Kennysia.com.

Peace.

Some people attack Kenny for the sake of attacking. They will just keep on looking for imperfections in how he has reacted to that Kenny looks stupid reacting that way. To these people, I have only pity for them.

There are those who says that it is not right for Kenny to post the pictures of the accident here. Or some who just wander.. perhaps what one of you guys could do.. or Kenny could do is to ask the family involved. (I would like to do so but I am not staying in Malaysia so it's rather inconvenient)

I have been reading Kenny's blog for quite some time now and I sincerely believe that he is not doing this just to create more hype for his blog. I think it has got to do with his consistent care and concern for those who are less fortunate. For those who are in doubt, please do ask yourselves who Kenny is to you.. not just from this incident but from everything that you know about him for the past years. Could he have faked all these? Unlikely to me...

In the event that the family affected choose to have the pictures taken down, I am sure Kenny would do so. Not so much because anyone feels so but the family involved.

For the rest of us, I appeal to have the unfortunate family in your heart and really ask what else you could do for them.. It could be a prayer, a donation or anything else within your means.

I hope my message could do something for them. And my prayers too. Treasure your loved ones. :)

lets wonder how a man like Kenny speaking about trying to help & ends up taking loads of photos & post it in his blog... Kuching is small, ppl could recognize the car & rumors will spread. Kenny should have some respect for the dead, instead he could pray or take away the car's plate number instead of TAKING PHOTOS...

Later on, he would offer donations & a lending hand, later on he would be famous for offering help & gets publicized. don't u think all he wants is just a breaking news on his blog??

Please Kenny... try to do better things than scoring points on the expenses of others...

very well said , totally agree with d above.

Its pretty inconsiderate to be taking photos and posting it up like this esp when it involved people that has passed on (so you were helping, snapping, helping, snapping? pray tell how did you accomplished that while feeling what you felt?). I thought you would be one of the better ones but I supposed all are the same, trying to increase the readership. Tsk tsk!

You can only do that much by asking Kenny to change. You can do much more doing other things for the family. Things that could really benefit the family.

to "kenny just want PUBLICITY" above,
pls dont judge kenny like this k!! u dun deserve judging!! ppl like u cause him to blog within restrictions more and more u know!! and when we cannot read a neutral blog, it's you who were to blame!!

all my prayers be to the family. and kenny. take care.

Give him a break.

"and not to critize you but for i know for sure every accident we received at least 2 calls as the operator will fear it is just a prank call."
Posted by: I'm A Chicken With No Name. BWAK BWAK BWAKKKKK! at 18 May 2007 10:48 AM

- Just curious: Do I get it right that if the operator receives only one single call for a particular incident it would be treated as a prank call? So in the future, in order to get them alerted & send an ambulance for rescue, we have to call at least twice, or we'll never get help?

HAHA I agree that is the best comment! which bring us to this

if kenny is to look for more viewers and publicity for his blogs then he succeed!!! Congrats!

However if he really meant to express his feelings of how helpless and pity he is towards the victims, i'm afraid based on all these comments he fail miserably.

Therefore this blog achieve 50% of what it intended.

ps Samsung really so sibeh clear anot? chill guys!

juz read the kenny's reply regarding why he shot pics.

well done, kenny. love ya lots.

OMG!!!!!!!!!
din know so many ppl cmmting here, i meant to agree with frank,not those against kenny.

Consequence of a Single-lane-dual-way Pan Borneo "highway". How many times have we seen this kinda head-on accident happened in Sarawak? Blame the road, otherwise, drive super carefully.

hey kenny,
i guess i'll have to agree that the pictures in newspaper aren't exactly as bad as urs, except maybe in chinese newpapers where somehow they like publishin pictures of the victims body/face (as opposed to english papers).

but then i'd rather see the photos in the 'official' public media. if i knew, or was related to the victims, it's just a bad vibe reading stuff like this on sum1 else's blog- sorta like tokin behind ppl's backs. wouldn't be gud to be in their shoes i'll have to say.

but hey im just being critical.

ps.

doesn't matter if u have a car or a bike.

not sure if it was a good idea to pick up or move the girl. her bones would've been messed up.

will you all please read kenny's explaination?
u are just bashing him over the reason he has jz explained! O.o

To: I'm a Chicken with no Name,

Can you please answer my question above? I'm really curious about this - and I believe it's a piece of very important information.Thanks!!

ohh. u anti-kennysia finally got yr chance of bombarding kenny.. how long have u been waiting for this ya.. haha.. its funny how his doings is none of yr business and u all keep blasting him.. he is just one guy.. admit it u're juz jealous of his blog popularity if not u wont bother to scold.. oh so u hate him so much for this, so juz leave kennysia.com.. don ever read his blog again ok? he doesnt need readers like u all afterall.

Kenny, how about you admit you made a mistake, take the damn photos down, and move on?

It was wrong for you to put those photos up, morally speaking, and whilst morality might be a subjective issue, it is clear that most of your readers seem to feel that this post falls into the immoral category.

The main reason something like this is frowned upon is this:Let us say, touchwood, that this was to happen to someone in your family. How would you feel if 2 weeks or 2 months or even 2 years after the incident, you stumble upon these photographs on the internet? What about the victim's teenage brother who has been protected from seeing the gruesome photos and has been denied access to the details of the accident? What happens when he sees these photos one day when he is looking for some jokes to cheer himself up on the previously funny kennysia.com?

You should really be more considerate Kenny. If you really want to make money from your new advertising partners, why not set up a Malaysian branch for ogrish.com or one of those other sicko websites? Is this really the way?

I saw an accident the other day right in the middle of KL. The police were putting the dead body into a body bag, and there were about 20-30 people standing around taking photos with their handphones. I told myself that only the lowest of the lowliest lifeforms could possibly want to record a scene like that in permanent form. It's as if seeing that happen wouldn't scar you enough, you had to take photos just in case you finally forget about it.

Kenny, please do the right thing. You can still redeem yourself. It takes a great man to admit his mistakes, and you will gain, not lose respect from others if you do.

Also, in relation to this phrase in one of your above comments : "Mate, if it weren't for me the ambulance wouldn't even have arrived", may I suggest that you apologise for this as well, or at the very least delete it?

To make yourself look like a traffic-directing martyr on the one hand, and then on the other hand claiming to be the hero who saved the girl's life is rather hypocritical dont you think? But wait a minute, didn't you say that the 1 survivor was rushed to the hospital by an onlooker? So what exactly did the Kenny Sia-commissioned ambulance do? Hero? I don't think so.

Some Newspaper cutting to share:

一家五口4慘死
（古晉17日訊）一家五口今午驅駛本田轎車外出返家路經石角馬當路途中，突告失控駛入逆道迎面猛撞羅厘，導致轎車前半段嚴重撞至毀不成形卡在羅厘車底，釀4人當場慘死車內悲劇。
該4名慘死車內的女死者皆已被證實，為現年22歲的劉曉慧（譯音）女司機、現年47歲前座乘客張秀祺（譯音），及分別2歲及8個月左右的女童，而目前仍搶救中的女童則為年約5歲。
該名女司機及前乘客2人為母女關係，而后座的2名女童則為女司機的女兒，至于該名仍在搶救中的女童，則是前乘客死者的另1名女兒之女。
該意外是在今日下午3時左右，于石角馬當路某住宅區附近路段處發生。
有關車禍發生當時，該名經營本市某小學食堂生意的女司機，正驅駛著該輛青色的本田轎車，載著其母親、2名女兒及1名侄女，從石角路準備返回馬當瑪利哈花園住家。
毀不成形
豈料，卻在路經車禍現場路段處途中，行駛中的轎車突告失控駛入逆道，不偏不倚與1輛迎面而來的羅厘發生劇烈猛撞，導致轎車前半段毀不成形猛撞卡入羅厘車頭底。
車禍后，女司機頭破血流、雙腳骨折當場重傷身亡、同樣因頭部受劇烈猛撞的前乘客亦逃不過死劫身亡，至于后坐的3名女童中，其中2名重傷斃命。
至于該名5歲的女童，被發現時仍有生命跡象，至今仍未度過危險期。

and btw, this is KENNY's blog! u have no rights to force him 2 take down the photos or to take down the blog entry! he can just delete ur bashing comment if he feels like it..but he didn't coz he respect each and everyone that have commented..*sigh* shame on those that kept writing harsh comment and thought u're the owner of this site. O.o it's just pure evil! x.x

ANYWAY....
my condolence to the family members T.T rest in peace

Hi Kenny,

I've always been reading your blog and this is the first time that I am actually commenting. I would not say that it is bad that you go around taking photos of an accident scene. I think it is noble of you to actually try to help and instead like most people, would just slow down and take a look and then drive off.

What I think is that you should only post the first four photos and then describe your whole experience from those. This allow people to understand what the accident scene is like.

I am not very good with word but what I think is that, yes, by putting photos in your blog allow us to know what you were seeing at that time but sometimes, people might not want to know or might not be able to stomach those scenes. People like those who are directly affected by the accident (relatives or friends) might find that those photos are in bad taste. Especially if they see photo 5 and 6 where they can see someone they might be close to being in those situation.

It is up to you on what you want to post on your blog and like what I said earlier, I would not say that it is bad of you to go around posting those photos but just place yourself in other people shoes at times. They might not feel what you feel.

To the family affected by this accident, I send my condolences.

Sorry for what happen, hope her will be cure and recover....

You people are just wasting your time especially Chicken ...whatever hell ur nick name is!!

Kenny, this is a good post for all drivers to learn and see what kind of damage (be it physically,mentally) it does to one who is reckless.

Ignore all those sick bastards remarks Kenny. Hope you get over the trauma soon! Life has got to go on...

P/s: Just stay firm and believe in yourself. Don't fret and get upset over these harsh remarks. Just take them as mentally retarded patients whose brain are attached to their backside. What you did was right. U Take Care.

I strongly agree with jon stu!

This is Kenny Sia's blog space and as such, he has every right to blog on whatever he sees fit. Whether it is distasteful or otherwise, it is a matter of opinion. Just the same as all those who have judged him here have the right to place their comments here on his space. This is the internet man...No one forced anyone to read it. If you dont like it just click the "back" button!!!

Read in the Star today, All 4 victim died on the spot.
My condolences to the victims family.

Kenny, you can't do much then even if you are the best doctor in the world.

Everyone else, drive safe and god bless.

*phew* i couldn't believe that i actually read all the comments here...
u guys more interested to fight than show condolenses here :/
shame on u

aiya...u ppl say so much. next time u dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all. u complain so much abt kenny putting up the photos but u still look.u complain he's insensitive but u still read. what did YOU do? nothing constructive?leave it be la.

the main subject it not about kenny's insensitivity or otherwise. it's about reckless driving and lack of road safety campaigns. get a life! dont throw it away

i can feel your sadness..

seems this post has brought many long-time lurkers to voice their opinions, and most of them point in the same direction. i'm in that same boat.

honestly, i whole heartedly agree with jon stu. it was and definitely still is plain inappropriate to whip your camera out at the scene of an accident as severe as this one.

granted, you did what you could to help out, and that much is admirable. at what point of time, however, did you decide you wanted to start taking photos? just because you used your phone camera doesn't make the fact that you took the photos any less disturbing. you could've used the most discreet spy cam or a mother-big dslr and it wouldn't have made a difference because it isn't so much the photos, but rather your intention of taking them in the first place that is troubling.

you do have the right to document your life and what goes on in it. however, you decided to share these tasteless photos knowing that tens, or maybe hundreds of thousands of people would eventually stumble onto this page. comparing kennysia.com to a tabloid, honestly is equivalent to comparing the four seasons hotel to a sleazy motel and if you'd be willing to stoop to that level by posting these pictures, then it is your blog.

but out of courtesy to the victims' family, and to your readers who strongly oppose against the posting of these pictures, imho i feel you should take the pictures off. the first four pictures were taken from a journalistic angle. the rest bordered on offensive, and i almost retched when i saw 20070518-6.jpg.

sorry to say but this post was taken a bit too far, kenny. out of basic courtesy and the fact that you represent the same moral values as a lot of your readers do, i implore you to remove the pictures. at least some of them.

hope this comment doesn't get lost in the sea of kennysia bludgeoning and exaltation.

Although the intention was good, it would still have been advisable not to physically manage the girl even though she was still breathing. Her ribs might have been broken or skull fractured, and carrying her away like that without medical help might kill her instead.

oh so nowadays comments can only be positive ones....like praising kenny noble, polish his shoes that he doing the right thing and lick his balls that he have every right to post stuff on his blog.

negative one go away, don read! don see! kenny boy boy and all his supporters want to be ostrich bury their cibai head in sand let them be! don go comment ok!

I want to read and kan kenny if i think he not appropriate is my business la, say ppl no life you go support ppl very got life la...full of life la.

GWN : "Just the same as all those who have judged him here have the right to place their comments here on his space. This is the internet man...No one forced anyone to read it."

Speaking of rights, he has the RIGHT to blog on what he did, we have the RIGHT to comment here, and he has the RIGHT to delete our comments. But enough about rights. Let us talk about being considerate. Let us talk about not being heartless. Let us talk about not using a tragedy to boost one's popularity.

yushi_gurl : "u guys more interested to fight than show condolenses here :/"

And showing condolences HERE of all places does what? When X suffers loss, we show X condolences. We don't go to X's neighbour, or some random drug addict on the street to express condolences about X's loss. If you really wanted to show your condolences, you would say a silent prayer for the deceased and their families, and not type it out in some random blog, especially one where the graphic photos of the accident, including details as to how the lorry's "spoiler" (shouldn't it be bumper, Kenny?) reached the driver's headrest. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the head rest against the headrest? What would Kenny's statement suggest? Hmmm...

annoyed : "u complain so much abt kenny putting up the photos but u still look.u complain he's insensitive but u still read. what did YOU do? nothing constructive"

Well Mr. annoyed, not everyone can be at the right place at the right time like our superhero ambulance caller Kenny Sia. I personally did not do anything. But what I DID NOT DO is to take photos of the incident like some uneducated unrefined person. I looked at the photos, yes. But I did not take the photos, AND I don't want to look at them again.

Kenny, this is my first time writing a comment on your blog. Something just catch my attention. Why are you asking your reader to answer if you should help in any way possible especially financially ? We know that you are from a well-off family and please if you feel like giving a donation to the little girl or the family do so.. quietly. If you feel like visiting her in the hospital by all means do so. As I see that there is not so much of a point here to show it in your blog, somemore asking for other's approval. What if we say you should donate RM 1 million to the kid can u do it ? I would say for those people who wish to give a donation, do so in a manner answerable to your heart, not passing the responsibility to others and worst still making a hugh puiblicity out of it.

One more thing, if you are really feeling guilty of the whole thing, u would be considerate enough not to put all this things up in the net at the first place. There is a thin fine line between trying to fake that you are sorry(to get the publicity) and you being truely sorry. And this blog has been pushing that limit abit too much I think. As for the photos I dont think it is wrong that you took them, but I think it is just wrong that u post them here in the web. Yes it is something that does not happen everyday in your life, u can take as many pic as u like for your self-keeping but putting it up here, somemore all 9's of them is jsut showing to us that u wanted the publicity. Nothing more. Period.

FYI guys in case you haven't noticed...the i'm not chicken nick is when you forgot or nvr put a name in the Name section, automatically generated one :) i agree wif john stu and Samsung the best!

I saw the news on www.chinapress.com.my
My condolences...

OMG, I am sorry to hear that. My condolence to the family.

Don't speed, no matter what. I nearly crashed with a van when I was trying to overtake a lorry when I was in Perth. The lorry did not slow down and I was driving an old car. Luckily that was a straight road, the incoming van saw me and tried his best to drive close to his left hand side. I was just inches from death.

After that incident, I never want to overtake a vehicle.

You have done your best, Kenny.

aiya kenny want to organise a dragon and lion combo dance in the small girl ward ma.... TUT CHIANG!!!! wan to lau liet lau liet increase publicity le... remember to take ur holiau gaolat samsung during that time and take 10 pictures and blog about it ok! i promise i be the first to login and comment!

I bet half of you guys who complained about Kenny taking the photo didn't even bother to read Kenny's explanation.

He himself is a professional blogger, taking photos to further let us readers visualize the scene wasn't wrong.

He could have choose not to take the photos some of you might say. But, I felt that he was not overboard. He did not take the photos of the victims. As he said, rather than being an on-looker, he gave whatever help he could. Rather than driving by, he stopped and gave help. Yes, it does not earn him the right to take the photos but what more can he do?

Imagine you are a professional blogger for years, what is the first thing coming up to your mind? I believe that is what Kenny trying to do, taking photos and showing it to us all, forgetting about the faults he might make.

His intentions was right, his habit was natural and he did what he usually do.

Too many of you are looking at too many different sides of this story. Back to basic, it's all about Kenny's thoughts on the accident. Why think further?

and u fcking hav time for photoshoot for ur blog?

I agree kenny can put all these on his blog, and the pictures some might not feel good but i'm ok wif it, but all the content where he feel bad and sad and helpless not to mention himself lambasting all his critics are so LAME.

You are such a FAKER but i am ok wif it cause there are fakers everywhere. Why not camwhore a picture of you crying in the background? that will sure convince few more people what a saint you are!

Really? Sorry, but this is the 1st time I read sbd's blog, so didn't know that the nick of "i'm a chicken wif no name" can be whoever... So it means I will never get an answer for the question I've asked regarding the emergency calling then... Thanks for informing though.
Anyway, honestly I'm very surprised to know such a popular blog, besides those celebrities, of cos - there're always new comments every time I refreshed the page - AMAZING!
(Those anti-kenny, please don't shoot me for this - I'm just expressing what I thought...)

"Do unto others what you want others to do unto you".

Kenny, if you honestly followed that principle when you took those pics and posted them, then I have nothing to say. Indeed, I respect you for doing at least as much as you thought you were capable of. I believe you did your best, under the circumstances.

AS for all the other commenters, the above quote applies to you too.

Enough said.

dont be sorry, its not your fault that it happened.
smtimes when fate's in charge, nothing human does can change it. so yea.cheer up =)

Those photoes went too far? you guys seriously don't know what sorts of pictures a reporter take. WTF is wrong with taking photos of a car filled with dead people? Can you tell me? disrespect to the victims? Did kenny show full bodies of the victims? Haven't you guys heard of the term citizen reporter before?

If people were in kenny's shoes i bet most of them will be snaping pictures too. Its not like he sells the photos to the press to earn himself some crazy money? It's just that its a gruelsome moment that deserves to be captured and made into a self reminder how horrible the accident was. In kenny's case, he wants to share something he saw, something that might be the most gruelsome incident he saw and he wanted to share it. Isn't it not wad normal people do? No?

Dear hypocrites, please don't pretend you're a saint or something, please don't showoff your so called how-i-would-save-the-day-if-i-were-u thing, it makes u sound so low.

oh my.. this is really sad. my condolonces to the family of the victims.

i've been reading.. about what? hundreds of comments and most of them are just ridiculous! the purpose of this post is a CLEAR way to remind us that we should drive safely and be careful on the road. many accidents happen and somehow, these pictures really made a point.

kenny, don't beat yourself up.

and you fcking have a childish nick? i'm laughing at it.

CAN YOU GUYS LIKE USE YOUR BRAIN AH?
ok lah.. i can understand if ya'll are not in this line or work.
1ST OF ALL...
if kenny juz blogged all words would it have made such a big impact?
Without looking at how bad the crash was..
could you have imagined how bad it was?
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE PIC OR NOT, THERE IS NO SUCH THING SUCH AS BEING UNETHICAL BY TAKING PICTURES AT THOSE MOMENTS, ITS NOT LIKE ITS HUMILIATING OR SOMETHING...
GRRR...
I hate it when ppl comment all they want and know nothing

Just curious, i work in telecommunications and probably can answer your call, i think what the ambulance driver means is that whenever an accident happens there will be at least 2 calls to report the accident, hence confirming it as real (or the prankster is really free).

This is due to whenever an accident happens in a space of say 10-30 minutes there will be good citizens who will call the emergency line to report the incident. Kenny might be the first but highly likely he won't be the only person to call for ambulance. Unless his Samsung phone is really the best in having an reception. Cheers

eh apa ni?

rilek bah

If it is well written with the best intend to educate, Praise

If funny, laugh

If photos too offending for some, critcize

If find the blog misleading and insensitive, Fuck you la Kenny

I got rights to fuck him, same as you people got rights to fuck each others, fuck and forget, don't bear any grudges

Hey kenny's server company called him say overload lor... burst lor...kenny more famous then andy lau or mawi la people blog aso not that much comment in one day! diu parishilton aso can sau pei liao....kenny... NI ZHENG NEI HANG! famous celebrity liao, you made it! Fireworks BANG BANG PIANG!

Dear Nzboy,

I think you can safely assume that most of the people here would not put down "taking photos of car accidents and dead peoples' legs" as their occupations when filling up forms.

What may I ask is the point of Kenny's big impact? You say that it is not humiliating, and you are right. It is not possible to feel humiliated once you are dead. In fact, I don't think it is possible to feel anything when you are dead. It is however highly disrespectful. Maybe if YOU had used YOUR BRAIN (assuming you have one), you would have thought of this before typing a post in CAPS. Now everyone's attention will be drawn to your stupidity.

If Kenny had said that 4 people died when a car got into a head-on collision with a lorry, I think most people would be able to imagine how bad it was.

Another thing, take a look at the 1st photo. Kenny, did you have in mind this blog entry when you snapped that photo? Were you picturing how you will be telling the story on your blog, and how you needed a good introductory photo? Were you picturing yourself getting a medal of honour from the police for your heroic efforts?

Thank you for the answer given!! I really appreciate that...
Just let's say there's an accident happened in a very rural area where there's no other ppl around except for me, so I'm the only one calling for ambulance - in that case will I be attended?

wa, call ambulance can get police recommendation liao wan a??? what is the number? i want also! one call only ma summore free one!

I really wanted Melinda Doolittle to be in the finals...

if there is ambulance available, they will attend to you, what i mean is normally there will be at least a call for help, if you in rural area i'm sure you will get attended too, provided you are able to hang on (touch wood), you might consider to use Kenny endosed mobile as he claims to be able to call in rural areas :) no more curious already right!

tears rolled down my cheeks when i was reading this post
and i think i got the msg
I WILL DRIVE CAREFULLY

dont't u think so?

Kenny, there are hundreds of accidents happening everyday. Why should I provide help and support to this particular victim? Because the famous celebrity Kenny Sia is rallying behind them for his own personal reasons? Even if I did do something for any victim of any tragedy, no one will know about it, because I wont publish it on the internet, unlike you.

And I have not seen a photo in any local english daily as gruesome as the one in this posting. Also, please do not equate yourself to a cnn reporter. They ARE journalists. You write crap here half the time. The reason people come back is because its funny. Not for the journalistic value. Please do not think so highly of yourself. You are nowhere close to being a cnn floor sweeper, what more a cnn reporter.

And if you are such a great journalist, why are you not aware of the journalists code of conduct that was brought about by the Hillsborough Disaster in England?

Kenny replied, but so long paragraph = Fuck you all la my blog my business la i don give a fuck you offended or not la... call CNN or STAR or BADAWI to screw me ok! kenny consider join politics ok? you got massive potential and popularity!

My prayers to deceased...

To the commentors who bashed up Kenny, u guys sucks.
Kenny, I know how it felt to witness such a tragic accident as I personally have encountered not once but many many many times... believe it or not..

To the extend of I will go and try to help out if I can even to just to bring the body out... and I've done it. I know the how it felt to see dead bodies lying motionless and it just sank your heart not knowing what to do. It's okay... you've done your part. God bless. :)

Kenny jin gao, kenny jin ho kia, mai ma kenny liao, ee jin kolian eh lu zai bo, john stu lu pun chin eng ho comment gao lat gao lat, tapi gua suka! Holiao

Haha... ok ok, thanks 4 both the attention & reply. But actually I was told that even if there's no reception, u can still call for emergency numbers - the only thing stops u from calling is when ur mobile phone is low batt.

Kenny

Thank you for this entry, you open my eyes and hopefully to more speed monsters that driving recklessly which only lead to disastrous consequences in the end, sooner or later.

The pictures are not distasteful nor unrespectful to the victims or family of the victim or even the passerby. You took photos of the wreck (not the victims) to post it on your blog to serve as a reminder on how fragile life can be, and how easily life can be lost in our own hands. The accident can be prevented.

Do ignore those who did not understand your intention/reason. They are too naive (I may say) to see the whole picture of the picture. (:P)

My condolence for the victims and their family and friends.

Be strong kenny!

Opinions, opinions.

Don't judge others unless you want to be judged yourself.

That goes for you, John Stu.

And you, too, Kenny.

Kenny,

Abusive? Stop being a drama queen.

"Clearly you do not have the victim's welfare in your hearts at all."

First, I only have 1 heart, unfortunately. 2nd, whether or not I have the victim's welfare in my "hearts", at least I did not disrespect them, nor did I try to gain popularity off their tragedy.

You have clearly misunderstood my statement " "Why should I provide help and support to this particular victim?".

Why this particular one? Why don't you give money to the family of every single person who dies in an accident? Just because you feel more strongly about this because you personally witnessed it doesn't mean others should too. Maybe I feel more strongly about something else? About some other victim of some other tragedy?

Kenny, how can a future CNN anchor be unable to understand such a simple statement?

And I make you sick but your photos don't?

Kenny i think you lost it.... don't take john stu words out of it's context, i don't think he meant that he has no intention to help people, instead it is a hypothetical question towards you. So keep your cool ok?

Dear Kenny,

Well, to be frank, I was very angry that you choose to publish these photos. I can't stop uttering wtf upon the sightings of it. All those things you said and those pictures you posted would instantly pop up the word FAKE FAKE FAKE in head!!! I mean, how could someone be so calm to snap so many photos when it's such an emergency? You definitely can't blame those negative comments. We just can't help ourselves but to be angry at the fact that you could walk up to the car and snap the 6th picture. You know, the picture of that poor kid which could win you RM50 from The Star if you send it to them? I mean, the first picture already could speak a thousand words, so there's no such need you should speak another thousand words. You could just mention “Today I saw an accident. [Picture] It was horrifying but I did help. Hail me,” That’s it. You’re done. BUT NOOOO. You must give a long speech plus some hyperbole. Boss Stewie also had such problem last time but did he snap picture? Well, he did. But he did it after the accident. That’s why he is hailed as a hero while you’re… zero.

I don’t think a norm blogger will get criticized until to the 18th floor of Hell if he blog about some accident. So what make you difference? You have status. You have reputation. You are Malaysia’s top blogger and there’s no doubt about it. Thus YOU, of all people, should know what kind of topic will generate positive or negative comments. So did you anticipate such problem will occur? I don’t know. But I can tell you, there’s nothing people like the most than to see the fall of a champion (Chelsea, anyone?). In Chinese saying, I would say you ‘la si seung sun’ (pull shit on yourself). Speaking of being the top in the business, you do know you have a responsibility, right? You are like the king and many (or maybe just some) people idolize you and just want to be like you! You do know you have children reading your blog. What kind of message you’re trying to tell them? Do you want them one day when they grow up to prioritize taking pictures more than helping in an accident? Think bout it!

Morally speaking, I am proud of you to lend you hands. I really do. But morally speaking again, I am not proud of you to snap pictures of the accident. I’m glad you’re so calm trying to help in this situation but I’m not glad you’re so calm snapping pictures. I dare to say you dare to blog about it because you know the girl’s still alive. If the girl is dead (touch wood), I don’t think you would even mentioned it in Short Talk. To me, you are acting both angel and devil now. Clearly despite such panic, I believe while you’re busy clearing the traffic, there’s one tiny voice in your mind saying, “This will make an interesting to blog about,” Prove me wrong.

Despite the negative comments, I'm sure these 200+ people have received the important message you are trying to deliver that reckless driving is really... reckless. How do I know? Well, at least those negative comments didn’t say anything like, “PADAN MUKA!!” But what’s really matter is the chatbox at the side of your blog. This bunch of people is clearly ignorant (or half-ignorant) about the issue you brought up. They are busy talking about karaoke when you are busy fending off the negative comments. IMHO, I think they’re even worse than those negative commenters. Would you rather want people to respond to you regardless what you blog or fail to see the very message you’re trying to deliver? I prefer the former.

Besides, if you really dislike those negative comments, you could just simply disable it. Or even better, you could protect this entry. But heck, it’s too late to fix this problem since most of your readers surely had read it. Unless you do something silly like donating half your allowance to the victim or publicly say sorry, I don’t see how you get out of this big mess. Seriously, you do need to admit you’re wrong at the taking pictures part. Bear in mind you’re not wrong at helping people. Just say you’re wrong will not make you lose face, in fact you will gain more respect as it took a lot out of a man to admit he’s wrong. Just admit you have gone too far this time. Be a man, do the right thing.

In the end, it’s just my 2 cents. I stand neither at the positive nor the negative commenters.

my condolonces to the family involved....kenny, it will take awhile to recover from this. Take your time. A special prayer for the family members affected by this unfortunate incident. Fingers crossed. Bless you.

I believe your earnesty and compassion. However, think: would you like your loved ones' dying pictures on the Net? You did a gallant job helping but it is heartless to put up pics of ppl you don't have permission from.

Hey, John Stu.

You weren't there.

You're not Kenny.

So what makes you think you're a better person than he is?

Even if he did make a mistake, he's only human.

And he did say he'll take down the pics at the victims' family's request.

I'm sorry, Kenny.

Even sorrier for the girl's family.

Agree with Infectioner! Just that some people took it too personally and just scold kenny for the sake of scolding him. so i don't condone such actions, nevertheless i agree that kenny is wrong in some ways yet correct in others.

Hey Perspective,

Funny you chose that nickname.

Also, funny you should choose to waste 1 whole line to state the obvious i.e that I am not Kenny.

And kudos to you for reading through all my posts and concluding that I was not there. That was genius.

I never said that I am a better person than he is. I may be a rapist/murderer. But I would not have taken those photos in the 1st place. Taking the photos in itself is the behavious of a person who deserves to be caged like an animal. Later posting them on a blog that has a readership as wide as kennysia.com does, well, that goes beyond words.

I am curious as to why you said this : "Even if he did make a mistake, he's only human." because, yes IF he did make a mistake, he is in fact only human. However due to the numerous technological advances in recent history, an "apology" has now been invented, and so has a delete button. Maybe you should grab your latest IT magazine for updates on this.

Should photos be posted? Yes? No? I just think everyone should just shut the fuck up. It is ridiculous and it sounds that it is more of a anti-kenny tirade rather than a debate about morality or insensitivity.
John Stu, I very very strongly disagree with what you said and I won't waste anothe
