of late, there have one too many features in the media about abduction, snatch theft - primarily against women. is our country becoming unsafe as society becomes more modern, urban and too pre-occupied in running the rat race?
it scares the hell out of me when it seems that it's no longer safe to do your groceries at the local supermarket or wherever it is we do our groceries. parking lots have become unsafe, someone just lurking in the corner waiting to pounce and harm an unwilling victim. and now that the daughter is driving to college on her own, i am endlessly worried and will only heave a sigh of relief when i get the message from her saying that she's home safe and sound.
what's worse, i recently read two articles of these crimes happening at the place where i work. so what has become of the human race? what is happening?
and in most instances, the victim says they shout for help but no one came to their rescue. sad much? yes, very much so. but when you stop to think about it, there have been horror stories about how one good samaritan stops to help only to be duped and robbed. like the saying goes "buat pun salah, tak buat pun salah".
so what do we do really?
