THE BIKER'S FIGHT - INNOCENT OR GUILTY?

THE BIKER'S FIGHT - INNOCENT OR GUILTY?

Lunch at the Central Business District(CBD) is usually a busy, rush one. It is home to alot of tempted theives in the district. On 3rd April 2008, at 1403hours, just outside of the old SIA building, stood a case of a snatch-thief. This incident left the theif with open wounds and blood trickling from his face.

"On the way back from lunch, i saw these two men fighting with each other. I did not do anything but watch as there was someone already trying to stop it. Then their fight took the bustling stretch of Robinson Road. Luckily a car stopped just in time, or else, they both would have been smashed." said a witness.

After collecting much more information, the chinese biker in the 30s, seemed to have started the fight, but he was indeed the hero of the day. He probably saw this Malay snatch thief of early 30s steal a handbag, and later engaged into a pursuit with him. He punched the thief till blood started flowing from his face. It was time to give up and the punching ended. Several passer-bys crowded around the vicinity while 2 other people stood to stop the fight.

We now got to ask ourselves, with crime rates so low in Singapore, with education high in abundance, is living here getting so difficult that the crime rates will evetually start rising?
