So I decided to eat at Toa Payoh, in a quest to remedy my boredom of Bishan food. After finishing my meal, I decided to buy some snacks in FairPrice. Having successfully grabbed my Belgian Dark Chocolate, I heard foreign noises blasted in cacophony. Three to four Indian men had a brawl near the cashier, and immediately a lot of shoppers rushed into the lane I was standing at, watching from a safe distance their "live entertainment" that does not occur so often in Singapore.
The scene reminds me of the issue of societies getting more and more apathetic. Two decades ago, there was a famous case of rape and murder of a woman in her 20s in New York City, with allegedly more than 20 people witnessing the event and none calling the police. Thankfully, a brave man wearing a FairPrice uniform stepped in and told them to stop fighting. The Indian men broke off to different directions, and Bangladesh was founded. (if you don't get the joke, try reading the country aloud :p) I continued shopping, and when I stepped out of the supermarket the Indian men were cornered by 7-8 uniformed officers, putting on stern looks on their faces. FairPrice saves the day :)
Anyway, look forward to the next post :)
Forever yours truly,
