Re: Come in and take a look at our young generation! men pushed 76 yr old lady off bu
Might as well add my 2 cents worth.
I would be the first to get up for the sake of old lady.I had done that and been there before.
But this case is a different kettle of fish altogether.The youth is clearly mentally deranged.You could see the way he shouts.Had he been a thug the action will be entirely different.It's time Sinkies learn to know the difference.Because,lately I had encountered far too many youth acting strangely.The rat race must have taken it's toll.It's a very bad sign of how LKY's policy of increasing people per sq m2 had gone wrong.
I think the police handled the matter quite well.And the victim,the old lady,understood the youth problem...and forgave.Or even if say,the woman dies--the youth's history of mental illness will mitigate the circumstances.
Incidentally,I have seen far worse case in MRT and buses.Public do not act,which is quite worrying.
Again,once I chose to be a witness in a MRT incident---the farking police detained me and held me for more than an hour in custody under escort.Imagine a witness treated as a criminal!...all this while they are questioning both parties which amounted to nothing.Not to mention the rudeness of rookie NS policemen towards the witness.Though I know my legal right rather well but I just remained silent and took the nasty treatment in my stride.Simply because blowing it up only gonna cost my time and peace.Whereas the police are paid for the time for wasting mine.And at the end of the day the officer in charge will offer his customary apologies ,and we may never know the bad cop ever disciplined or not.
In Saudi Arabia the witnesses are jailed,and I was cautioned never to be one even if a murder takes place right in font of me.Now,you know why Sinkie behave as they do.First,they must overhaul the entire police and their system.But first sack the PAP.
