Appalled by boat tragedy

I REFER to the tragic loss of 12 innocent lives from the barter-trade boat illegally converted to a passenger vessel that broke to pieces just off the waters of Westport, Port Klang.

Indeed, for this to occur during the festive season and befalling those whose sole fault was simply wanting to be close to their loved ones, adds further consternation to the unfortunate incident.
