Weekend Rants 3 of 3: Racist?
Sunday May 20, 2007: TESCO
It was evening. My friend and I have just finished shopping. I was about to start up my car when my friend alerted me:
X: Hey, don't you want to go and take a look?
Me: Huh, take a look at what?
X: Didn't you see that Malay guy arguing with that Chinese guy in that big van?
Looking, I saw a big sized Malay chap scolding a Chinese guy in the van. From my friend's description, he had pushed the smaller Chinese into the van. (Note: we were still in the car)
Me: Not interested in getting involved. We have no idea what is going on. Getting involved might just make matters worse.
Anyway, we left. As I was reversing out, I saw the bigger chap punch the smaller guy which threw his head back.
Sigh. Many thoughts come to mind.

- Should I have gotten involved?
- Would it have become a racist thing?
- But thinking further about it, if a friend had been the one involved, I think I would get involved without any further consideration.

drama! but the best thing to do is the call the security since it's happening in private grounds. don't ever get involved...or else..u kena punch pulak!
eve: Hmmm... police? by the time they come, I think over liao.
