Difference between an engineering specialist and a tabloid columnist

PROFESSIONAL engineers always look for solutions and preventive measures to avoid a recurrence of identical or similar issues in future. However, tabloid columnists tend to rely on sensationalist titles for their articles and contents to entice readers. This difference sets both groups apart.

For example, in the Kelana Jaya line LRT collision, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ir Dr Wee Ka Siong immediately embarked on solutions by establishing an investigation committee straight after the incident.
