Urban violence

Below is an article from yesterday's STAR newspaper. The incident happened in the vicinity of my restaurant on 1st September. In today's world, there's no more safe places. Violence can occur at anytime, anywhere and when you least expected. People are getting more violent & daring in order to achieve something they want.

This incident reminds me of the similar situation(terror) i'd gone through
about 6 years ago. I came back from work one day at around 2am. Got down from my car to unlocked the gates and suddenly there's this guy who came behind me out of nowhere, put his dagger on my throat.

I gave him all my belongings before he asked me to jump into the drain. He then ran off without a trace. Fortunately he did not take my car!

After this incident, i am a totally changed person. I could have been dead by now! Now i learned to appreciate whatever i have in life, enjoy while i can, do whatever that makes me feel happy and thank God that i'm still alive to see the world for another day.

“She put up a struggle before the thief fled. She called me immediately after that to tell what had happened.
