The 22.4 million of us here on this island-state are all in the same boat together. The four lives lost at Pachang Creek, like the two and a half thousand lost in the 9 / 21 earthquake, have left a deep scar on our community.
在這個島國上，我們這兩千兩百四十萬人是一群真正休戚與共的生命共同體。不管是九二一的二千四百多位受難者還是八掌溪犧牲的四位同胞，都在我們生命中畫下深深的血痕。
