The number of entries in my blog seem to increase exponentially during the exams period huh. I'll try to keep this frequency up after the next 4 days, but don't hold your breath though. Who still sits by the computer after their papers?! haha.
Went out with Fion yesterday evening, spending quality time and as usual, chatting on a whole wide range of interesting topics, the highlight of which is.. " What will the Police do if you are punched?"
The 'reasonable man' on the street would have exclaimed a resounding "Catch you lar, DUH!" But surprises ole surprises, what the police would probably do, is to just take down particulars and "Eh kids, don't play play ah!" and vroom back to their HQ in their shiny new Subaru WRX for Bak Chor Mee and another round of PS2. *looks sheepishly at Mr Loo*
HUH? U mean being walloped in the mouth, losing a few front teeth and requiring stitches on a split lip is non-seizable?! I guess the majority of you who are reading this right now, would exhibit cognitive reactions along the lines of WTF?! Or its dialect equivalent, SMLJ?!
Well, on the other hand, if the police were to handle every case of small fist fights and arguments, wouldn't they be overtaxed to the extreme? I guess a fine balance has to be struck as to what warrants immediate action versus an after-action.
Anyway here's the link to the report, amuse yourselves with it!
Will police act if you're punched? It's not so simple
Hmm, I am not saying anything, but Mr Zhang, in any event the "I feel so pekchek that I wana key that fella's car who almost caused an accident in the carpark" situation crops up again, the above link proposes a totally enticing solution to your dilemmas.
And to all the potential victims who might be bullied, Don't worry. To utilise a singlish phrase that's close to heart, "if that fella ch-eng you, ch-eng him back, mian kei kee"
Having said that, I am looking for volunteers in an ensuing experiment. I promise to give just one black eye, split lips and 3 broken front teeth. Takers?
