In Singapore, the news is shown on TV daily at various timing throughout the day. Half an hour before the actual showing, there will be a newsflash, and what these newsflashes do for me, is that they tell me the headliners, and these headliners will decide whether I will use the time to watch the news, or use the time to catch my favourite serials or do some other stuffs.
The newsflash tonight talked about this 18 year old gal murdered in AMK. It was reported that she was slit across the throat, and had various injuries on her body as well.
Cash and other valuables were intact, thus ruling out the possibility of robbery. It is OUTRIGHT MURDER! A 22 year old suspect was rounded up to assist in the investigation.
What triggered me to write this entry is that 10 to 20 years ago, such crimes will almost certainly not happen in Singapore. Singapore was so peaceful back then. There are still crimes, of course. But crimes of such extent was few and far between.
What had happened to our values ? to our humanity ? that such crimes am occuring more and more frequently...
Is it the evolution of Singaporeans? Westernization? or the power of the internet, exposing our next generation whatever they should not be accessing ?
I am tired. I mean physically tired, as I had just finished a run not too long ago.
So here I am, jotting down this entry, but I am going to rest though.
However one word can easily sum up the way I am feeling now - Disappointed.
I am indeed, disappointed......
