how vilgilant are singaporeans?
ever since the sept 11 issue back in 2001,
more and more people are aware of such danger, known as terrorism.
but how would singaporeans react when they encounter one?
the closest we got to terrorism in singapore
was having yishun mrt filmed as one of the terrorism target
and subsequently people receive letters with baby powder
being pass as a anthrax scare.
even recently, after the singaporean lawyer became a victim
in the mumbai terrorist attack,
how vilgilant can one be?
or how educated are we to realise that you will never know how close you are to terrorism attacks.
the goverment sure did their part in educating the civilians on national security
but do people be bothered with it?
today on my way home after lunch with cz,
we found this bag sitting alone at the bus stop.
we waited for quite awhile and no one claimed it.
hence, we called the police.
yup, people may think we are making a big deal out of an unwanted bag
or probably a lost item.
but, to be safe than sorry
we didn't want to take any chances.
who knows, later in the evening or a little while,
i might hear an explosion 3 blocks away from me
and i will carry this guilt with me for life!
but still, typical singaporeans don't think this way.
they just can't be bothered.
worst! there was this girl around 10 yrs old,
even sat next to the bag happily chatting away on her hp..
i was like wtf.
if that was a bomb...
she would have died long before she could say hello on her hp.
this shows how civic-minded singaporeans are...
