  • This is not the first time a chemical plant has exploded in China. In its relentless and swift pursuit for industrialization, compounded by the maddening and blind chase for faster and greater economic growth, China tends to ignore the safety factor. This ought not to be the case. The nation should reevaluate its meteoric progress and reexamine the safety measure taken by all industries, especially toxic plants and coal mines. National development at the expense of precious human lives or well-being is inexcusable. The authority in Beijing must make an immediate concerted effort and take serious action to remedy and improve the current predicament. (Tan Boon Tee)
