Safety down the Drain!

As I compose this entry for my blog, I am still baffled with the most important aspect of our life, the affirmation of the safety in our daily routine or chores! I just came back from my favourite mamak stall near my place, to have my meal. (Some place with the weirdest yet delicious roti canai varieties) My visit to the mamak’s always filled with hoaxes and laughter but this time it was sombre and rather quiet. Puzzled came unfold when my favourite waiter there; Bro Sharabuddin, with ‘pail-full’ of tears held on eyes, said to me that few minutes before, his room was broken into by some unscrupulous people who manage to fleet with his cash that he kept to send back to his family in India.



Where is the justice? Where is the so-called safety? Everything seems to be down the drain and only sounds Greek. For all I know, I grew up in a closely-tied neighbourhood that I never came across this sort of incidents. *touchwood* To my dismay, he said the incident happened when the mamak’s was in service and during the sardine-packed-hour. The place of incident was just few metres away from the stall! How inconsiderate these buggers can be?


For what I know, I am scared to even wait at traffic lights nowadays regardless whatever time I am in. Everything has to be extra-carefully-given-attention-to! Feels like the crime rate is choking us day by day! Where is the justice?



Where would you consider save in this day and age? NO where!! The law is taken granted for! Even air-split-unit for air conditioners needs grill to safeguard its position! Sigh! I pray for some peace and no-more cases of snatch-theft, house break-in or even daylight robbery!


But is this possible?


I am keeping my fingers crossed! And people out there, be extra vigilant, not towards H1N1 only but extra chary with the happenings around you! God bless everyone!
