Why nobody is anymore referring to the enormous disaster of the fire in Mati, where about 110 persons were killed, burned or drowned?
Apart from all the losses of properties. NOT ANYONE WAS IMPACTED FOR THIS JUGE TRAGEDY?? Claiming the train accident.. it’s only 2 years ago… Mati is already in its 6th year? A BIG SHAME, without any accountability until today?😡
Ask ND who promoted Police, Fire Service high-ranking officials when it won the power in 2019. On the sidenote: there is a big difference between the two disasters
