Putrajaya Is Not That Save Anyway

Yesterday morning, when we're about to go to work, my husband asked me whether I had seen his wallet and hand phone. Since I slept quite early the day before (my arm was sore from the tetanus shot), of course I had not seen them. So he asked me to miss call his hand phone. The weird thing was, his phone was switched off. After tossing and turning every rug and thing around the house, he still couldn't find his belongings. I checked my hand phone and my wallet, they're in my back pack. So, we assumed he misplaced them somewhere. He swore that his hand phone was with him because he texted someone around 9.30pm the night before. Well, the story trailed off there because I was getting late to work.

Later that evening, returning from work, my husband opened the post box and guess what? HE FOUND HIS WALLET, MONEY-LESS, DRENCHED IN RAIN WATER! Luckily all his credit cards, IC, marriage certificate and everything else were in the wallet (the wallet was actually my gift to him on our wedding day). We were horrified that our earlier assumption of that there might be a break-in was true! If the wallet wasn't 'returned', perhaps we could assume that my husband lost it somewhere else. We went to the police station to lodge report. Praise be to Allah, we only lost a sum of money (RM220) and a very old hand phone (which shows desperation of the burglars).

According to the police officer, 90% of the burglaries and break-ins in Putrajaya were done by civil servants' children/teenagers. What a shocking truth. Due to both parents are working, so the children were left without supervision. The most recent story we heard about 7-8 year-old kids were caught for thieving from the neighbours, the officer said even the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development was shaken by the news because the children were referred to the Social Welfare Department. At this stage, usually the parents are left to blame. But then, if the society keep on finger-pointing, blaming someone else, all the hard work goes in vain.

Crime rate shows the social status of a society. In this case, no matter in what social class you are in, it is up to thyself to have either first-class-minded, second-class-minded or even no class at all. Education starts at home. it is important to make sure that our children posses good faith and understanding on religion, for that every action taken shall be rewarded or punished by God. Look at Japan, how civilised they are, even during the tsunami-stricken period, they still queue up to get their supplies/aids from the shop. Kalau kat Malaysia? Baru kalah bola pun dah bakar-bakar bendera, belasah penyokong negeri lain etcetera. Tu belum lagi kena timpa bencana ke apa.

Saya sedih dengan mentaliti masyarakat di Malaysia ni. Sampai bila pun takkan maju kalau pemikiran masih di takuk lama (perhaps takuk tu makin jatuh mcm suhu thermometer : negative - paras beku) :(
