What's going on?

We were walking around Bukit Bintang, heading towards Low Yat yesterday. Looking for a mouse.

It was a breeze walking from Pavilion, till we reach the traffic light at Lot10 junction. Cards everywhere, we have to focus to cross the road. Standing at the crossroads, we noticed a group of people (big group!) gathering right in front of Maybank. Youngsters, mostly dressed in black, with caps. I found more of who they are here.

Walking from Pavilion to LowYat via Jalan Bukit Bintang wasn't a breeze anymore. It seems that we went into a different town/country. We saw more street dancers, youngsters in black, saw a fighting among few youngster (hit the head, face, neck and shoved him to a car and continue hitting) and people in walktie-talkie running to the scene to watch/help.

What has happen to the KL I know. I've grown up here since I existed. I felt sort of a pain to see this. Where did all the youngster came from? What's their intention of burning the loser's clothes? If it's a culture / weekend activity, do it right man. Do it the legal way. Don't obstruct the traffic. Don't bring any bad impression to the tourist. Don't fight. If you have to fight, learn boxing/kickboxing/kungfu. You can go to Hollywood and get famous and do it like a man.

From the Star article, it says
"Last Saturday, things started to simmer when one or two minor scuffles broke out. Some of the kids fled, sensing things were about to get ugly. Soon enough, just as it was getting dark, a mob of around 20 angry teenagers were seen dragging a guy into a back alley. The others on the street – the youths, tourists, security guards – just watched in silence."

Said one of the 3 policemen,
"“They fight all the time, almost every week. But we can’t do much about it. There’re so many of them, and so few of us. We can’t be watching them all the time,” he said."

I saw the fight myself.. it happens and will continues...Until the authority do something about it.

I will not be surprised if The Home "botak" Minister comes out to say that they are closing the police sttion there like they did in Chow Kit. Reason.... too much crime, police afraid of crime! Hahaha

Ooops, hv i turned yr site into a political one???? Hmmmm

That's what's in the papers. The police can't do much because the group was huge. What an excuse.. To me, it's just whether they take it seriously or not. If they don't do something while it's still controllable, then we'll have ChowKit 2.0

The fight was very scary. What are they expeting us (public) to do? Go there and stop the fight that we might become another victim? I saw some security guards ran towards them though but wasn't sure what happened after that. Not a peaceful KL anymore.

Yup, Klang valley is not safe anymore. I tell my gfs to not drive alone esp at nite, not to carry a purse if there's not much to carry, drive with doors locked, not to leave the car without observing what's outside, drive to nearest police station if being followed, not to wear expensive looking bling blings.

*haiz* so much trouble to even feel/be safe!

yea KY, wasn't the same ol KL, or maybe it still is, just that we happened to see it this time..

wow.. malau that sounds really uncontrollable wor.. as they said (direct translations) "police and gangsters are just difference by a 0.001pt line"

who's good who's bad, everyone's behind a mask.

yup biologicalclockticking, girls have to pay extra attention to surroundings. Being safe is a privilege now.. Lost our freedom of being free and easy.
