Ridiculous Act of Gangsterism

Got this from the Letters Column in the News Strait Times, 28 of January 2008

A Wanton Act of Just for Kicks
I was on the bus around Petaling Street at 7.50pm when I witnessed a disturbing act of random violence. At a bus stop, there were about 30 to 35 people waiting, including two young men. One looked like he had just finished work, while the other was a casually dressed youth.Suddenly, a group of youths aged between 16 and 22 attacked them. Six or seven of the youths began beating up the casually dressed one, while the rest grabbed the man in work clothes, who didn't struggle as it seemed hopeless. They reached into his trouser pockets. Instead of robbing him, they ripped his trousers down the side.After that, they just walked off laughing. There must have been about 100 witnesses to this attack and nobody near them went to their aid.

It is not just the Mat Rempit prowling the streets at night who are a menace, but also gangs of youths like this one.

What can be done about such thugs, who attack people at such central areas as bus stops?

No wonder my mom always tell me to always be careful hanging around KL, to many fuckingcrazy thugs who seems uncivilised to live in modern Malaysia. But hey, even Ireland also has these sort of thugs, who love to sit at the back of the bus and smokes, or if they are in their mood they will racially harassed any foreingners that are near to their seat...and they say they are ready for diversity..so tourist beware of the backseat upstairs on the doubledeckers! hahaha
