All these news are depressing.

All of a sudden everything you do sounds soo dangerous and life-threatening. You go out for dinner and on your way back, you could get hacked and left to bleed to death. You could be walking back to your place from the LRT station and some guys on a motorbike could threaten you with a parang. You could be in school and still robbed at knife point.

Seriously, what has become of our society?

The “snatch thief” issue has been around for way tooo long. Remember those days when snatch thief victims were hanging on to their lives in the ICU? Remember those days when pictures of these poor souls were plastered on the front pages of our dailies? Remember those days when we followed closely on the progress of these victims? Remember how badly we felt when news of their deaths were made public? Remember how we cursed the snatch thieves and their entire families for causing so much grief not only to the victims’ families but to the whole nation?

Now, remember those days when the oh-so-caring government proposed the oh-so-holy bill for heavier penalty if the snatch thieves were found guilty? And, for goodness’ sake, whatever happened to THAT bill now?

Has the government forgotten about it?

Have we, the rakyat, forgotten about it?

When will we EVER learn..?

Update: PM wants theft curbed and the public kept safe
