Read about some idiots who were complaining on
ST and
STOMP about this couple making out in the MRT. And the primary squeeler was some guy called
Mr Mohammad. I shan't even bother making an obvious observation here.
(Let's not even get into the fact that he said rather bigottedly "I worked in the States for 5 years and this is common there... but we should not allow it to happen here." Let me guess... pure and conservative "Asian" Values versus "decadent Western" values? Jesus Christ, save me now.)I mean, what the heck lah? How is
that news? We're beginning to sound more and more like a small town in freakin Wisconsin (no offence to Wisconians). You know, headlines like
"Mrs Mason drops wedding ring in drain: Plumber Piper saves the day." I mean, come on for fuck's -
if not God's - sake, it's like we've been so devoid of vocalizing anything politically meaningful for so many years that mundane things like kids making out in trains and cinemas are becoming something for the ministers to attend to.
What happened to the good old days of elders keeping juniors in line? If a child misbehaves, just fuck him! I grabbed one by the arm once because he kept hitting me on the head with his balloon in mac's. i guess his mum was blowing someone off at the other end of the restaurant. I was
damn patient. The
third time he hit me i grabbed him firmly by the arm, dragged him closer, and said calmly and loudly in his ear: "
Do that again, and I will DESTROY you." He dropped his balloon and never came back. One teen was fucking around on the escalator and causing me and everyone behind me grief so i screamed "
IDIOT!". And he scurried off. Of course, you pick your battles. Fucking someone from a bunch of
ah beng gangsters is just stupidity, not discipline. Leave that kind of control to the cops or another
ah beng gang.
Turning this sorta thing into something newsworthy, is not only an issue of "
oh we can't be politically active so we find an alternative", but it's degraded to the fact that many Singaporeans have evolved subconsciously to
actually believe that such issues are politically important. Please folks, wake up your ideas lah. Forget all these
noisy shiny crap. When you encounter such things, just look away or deal with it. Don't waste newspaper ink. In the words of my army RSM,
Let them know who's in charge.
When in doubt, just fuck.
