A fight broke out in front of Plaza Singapura between some youths. This caused two teenagers who were badly stabbed, according to recent reports. This reminds me of a time when I was waiting for a bus just outside the Macdonal House in the early 90s. While waiting for that bus, suddenly there were few boys that ran towards the bus stop and some who ran away. It was some group fight that had broken out. Some of those that ran away, headed towards the Bras Basah and one boy wasn't that lucky. He was caught up by another bigger and bullier sized and that boy had a helmet and he kept crashing it on the head of the victim. What was scary for me was that the victim tried to find cover near to the bus stop where I was standing.
I walked the other direction hoping to avoid being hit, but the boy was just moving about.. I managed to step aside but I was totally frozen with shock. Then after a while, the one that bashed the victim ran away and the victim was curled up on the floor with blood on his head. Some one came to his aid, and myself and another lady provided some tissues to try to stop the bleeding. It was something really shocking.. The police came after a short while. The passers by were asked to disperse and I got on the bus, still shocked from the incident.
I wondered what happened. Did it get started off like the one that had been reported? Just because they couldn't stand it when someone else stared or looked at another group? Why start a quarrel and fight over something silly like that. Hope the school will include some moral teachings into kids' education about how silly and dangerous to fight over something like that.
