KAMPUNG HULU-9 Nov, A wooden house

in KampungHulu has catcher caught fire in the yesterday early
morning. At about , the fire brigade received a call from a
30-year-old lady.She was panicked as
she couldn'tcould not find locate ways to exit out from the
house.After 10 minutes, the fire engine arrived at the
scene.The They quickly took out the hose and put out the fire.

After putting extinguishing out the fire, the

firemen break broke into the house to save the lady.The firemen
found out that one of the lady's children were burnt had
perished in the fire. The lady who called the fire brigade was
found fainted due to the lack of oxygen. Luckily,she was
returned regained to consciousness after receiving treatment
at the hospital. She was quite shocked and cried after hearing
that one of her children had died.
 Based on her statement, the fire is was due to her
carelessness. She had put the match box at a reachable
place to that her children were able to reach. Her five-year-old
son who got curios when seeing the match box and started to play
with it the matches. He lighted lit up the a match stick
and throw threw it on the floor. The flame from the match
stick which hadn't extinguishedthat had been quickly spread
out. His mother who was cooking in kitchen also didn't did
not think something was amiss.

Out of nowhere,she heard the screams of her child and ran

towards the room. The fire spread quickly and the whole house
was caught on fire. As the saying goes,curiosity killed the
cat. During his naivety, he the boy’s action costs his own life. She
stopped crying after hearing that her another other child was
alive as there iswas no use to cry over spilt milk.

As the saying goes, fire is a good servant but a bad

master. The fire brigade officers advised the public to be more
careful in the future.We should place the match box at place
which is could not be reachable to by children. We should also
place a fire extinguisher in our house.We should also always put an
eye on the children.Last but not least, put child-lock on the stove
(note :not logical to put child-lock on the stove, perhaps install
child’s safety gate at the kitchen doorway).
Many activities were carried out during this year by The Caring
Club of SMK Taman Selesa Jaya 2.For example,we visited an
orphanage,nursing home and hospital.The aim of the visits is to
cultivate a sense of caring among our members.
Firstly,during March,we visited Hayati Orphanage.There were
40 students involved in the visit.The children there welcomed us
with open arms.Most of the children there were without parents
while some were sent by their parents due to several reasons.We
played a lot of games with the children.We also became a tutor for
the children and taught them a few simple lessons.Before
leaving,we presented them some stationeries.
On 1 May,which is a public holiday,we visited Nuha's Home,a
nursing home in Mersing.
There were specialised nurses there to take care of the
patients.Many of the patients are old folks and there are also a
few of children.We were shocked to hear that the children suffered
from diseases that are unable to be cured but there were no
sorrow on their faces.We lent a helping hand to the nurses by
taking care of them temporarily.
Our last activity was the visit to the General Hospital in Johor
Bahru.We visited the children ward in the hospital.Many of the
hospitalised children were suffering from food poison or
diarrhoea.There were also children who were suffering from
dengue fever.We brought along some fruits for them.We played
some games with the children.They were on cloud nine.
I have learnt a lot of lessons from the visits.The visits taught
me to be grateful for what we have now and respect the
others.We should be loving and caring to our parents.I was so
touched by the stories of the orphans and children and some of
our club members cried.I felt very sorry for the children and I
hope they could continue the rest of their life happily.
I would like to suggest a few activities that can be carried out
next year.First,we can visit old folks' home.We can help to the
home and buy them some sundries.Next,we can organise canteen
day to raise fund to help the needy.Last but not least,we can visit
disable people's home.
