Who would do such a callous, low-down thing?
That is the question many people in Brunei, astonished beyond disbel-ief, are asking this week.
And why? It is because of the horrid image of a young identified woman who stole from the dead and the dying soon after a horrendous car crash last week involving Brunei vehicles.
She was seen quiet unconcernedly collecting valuables and mobile phones from the victims and pocketing them and coolly walking away from the scene.
Apparently, she did not even attempt to render any sort of aid to the victims.
A video clip of this callousness, captured on camera, has gone around the world on video sharing web site, YouTube, this week.
Five people died in what could be one of the most horrific road accidents involving holidaying Brunei motorists in a neighbouring border state last week shocking many here.
However, what outraged some here is the thoughtless act of this young woman. "It's hard to imagine anyone who would do such a thing," said a deeply disappointed Bruneian woman.
Others asked: "Have we gone down so low in our materialistic greed to such a degree as to forget leaving any basic sense of human values at all?"
But, it was comforting to note that it was only just one person among a large crowd that had gathered at the scene of the tragedy, who had stooped to this dastardly act.
The immediate response was who and what sort of person would do such a thing?
Obviously, a most misguided person.
Let us only hope that we would not be so unfortunate as to come up with someone of this sort in the hour of our need.
