Dear Editor,
We are still reeling from the daring prison escape, now comes the horrific tragedy of the fire at the Mahdia Secondary School dormitory. This is a national tragedy of immense proportions. Many young lives perished in the inferno and many more injured. Such pain, grief and suffering for the families and community. I offer my condolences and get well wishes to all affected. I know the Government will declare a period of national mourning as we as a nation come to grips with and overcome this terrible disaster. In the face of adversity let us find strength in each other. Now is the time.
Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
