Taiping: Lima pelajar Sekolah Menengah
Kebangsaan King Edward VII, di sini cedera, termasuk seorang melecur
selepas disambar petir ketika berehat di tepi padang bola sekolah
berkenaan, kelmarin.
Dalam kejadian jam 5.20 petang itu,
semua pelajar berkenaan terpelanting sejauh dua meter dan menyebabkan
dua daripada mereka iaitu pelajar Tingkatan Tiga, S Haresh, 15, dan
pelajar Tingkatan Lima, R Dhenesh Kumar, 17, pengsan.
Petir menyambar kepala dan badan kiri
Dhenesh Kumar mengakibatkan 30 peratus tubuhnya melecur. Dia belum
sedarkan diri sehingga kini dan dirawat di Unit Rawatan Rapi Hospital
Taiping (HT).
Haresh yang terkena renjatan
bagaimanapun sudah sedar dan dibenarkan pulang, manakala tiga lagi
rakan mereka hanya mendapatkan rawatan pesakit luar di hospital sama.
Menceritakan detik cemas itu, Haresh
berkata, dia sedang berbual bersama empat rakannya di tepi padang
bola sepak utama sekolah.
Tragedi ketika rehat
Keadaan cuaca sangat baik dan tidak
menunjukkan tanda untuk hujan. Namun, tiba-tiba saja kilat menyambar
menyebabkan kami terpelanting dari tempat berehat dan saya pengsan,
katanya ketika ditemui di HT, semalam.
Sementara itu, bapa Dhenesh Kumar, P
Ravindran, 50, berkata beliau bimbang kerana doktor memaklumkan
keadaan anaknya parah dan peluang untuknya kembali pulih amat tipis.
Hancur hati saya apabila mendengar
berita itu. Dia anak yang baik dan pelajar cemerlang di sekolah.
Dia satu-satunya harapan saya dan harap
dia tidak patah semangat untuk teruskan kehidupan kerana kami sangat
sayangkannya.
Saya tidak sanggup melihat dia terseksa
melawan sakit dan berharap ada pakar mampu menyelamatkan nyawanya,
katanya sambil menitiskan air mata.
Bapa Haresh, R Sokalingam, 47, pula
berkata, dia bergegas pulang dari Kedah selepas dimaklumkan kejadian
itu oleh pihak sekolah.
Saya lega mendapati dia masih hidup dan
masih mampu tersenyum ketika pertama kali terpandang saya, katanya.

Lightning strikes 5 pupils
SENT FLYING: One of the victims
admitted to intensive care unit of Taiping Hospital
TAIPING: FIVE students of SMK King
Edward VII here were injured when they were struck by lightening
while resting at the school's football field on Thursday.
In the 5.20pm incident, all of them
were thrown for about 2m, causing two to faint.
The two were S. Haresh, 15, who is in
Form Three and R. Dhenesh Kumar, 17, a Form Five student.
The lightening struck Dhenesh's head
and the left side of his body, which resulted in 30 per cent burns.
He has yet to regain consciousness and
is at the intensive care unit of Taiping Hospital.
Haresh has since regained consciousness
and has been allowed to return home. The other three received
outpatient treatment.
Recalling the ordeal, Haresh said he
was chatting with his friends when the incident occurred.
"At that time, the weather was
good. There were no signs of rain. Suddenly, there was thunder and a
lightning, which struck in our direction. We were sent flying and I
fainted," he said when met at the hospital yesterday.
Dhenesh's father, P. Ravindran, 50,
said he was worried after doctors informed him that his son was
seriously injured and had little chance of full recovery.
"My world fell apart after hearing
the devastating news. He is a good boy and is good in his studies.
"We love him dearly and can't bear
to see him suffering. I hope there is a specialist out there who can
save him," he said in between sobs.
