Hawkers fall prey to brazen break-ins.



1a) Why is it easy for burglers to break into stalls at the two markets in the Kallang area?

b) What is the Geylang East Central Merchants' Association going to do about the break-ins?

2. What do you think should be done to tighten the security of the markets? What do you think of the burglars who brazenly break into the stalls?


1a) the reasons why burglars effortlessly broke into stalls at the two markets is due to the unwillingness to install grilles that cost a hellish amount.

1b) the geylang east central Merchant association’s response is allowing the hawkers to “fortify” their stores with a more reasonable amount of $16 rather than prices that would end up having the victims cursing the thieves and going through the incontinences of reporting the thefts and waiting for a month to have justice serve for them (the police is usually preoccupied by crucial cases and murders that they would only investigate when they are bored)

2) Maybe we should install surveillance cameras over hawker centers on dark areas so as to give the thieves a surprise when they are surprisingly arrested for theft ,miserably watch through the surveillance tape showing how dumb and idiotic they are to commit thefts before being cuffed and sent to the court ,convicted, and sent behind bars to go through the horrifying process of deprived of freedom, love, and getting beaten up by jail mates and humiliated by them. Actually I think of the burglars as a pitiful person, Now don’t laugh at me, here’s the reasons…firstly, the burglars are usually jobless or poor people who cant cope with the financially burden and have to resort to stealing as a form of fast income as we all know many have lost their jobs during the recession and financial downturn. secondly, the some brainless juveniles thinks that it is “cool” to steal,let me ask you what is this “cool” anyway? Is it edible, beneficial or is it just a human evolution error that makes us think this way? This so called “cool” is the reason for the genuine” cool” of going to jail and getting screwed and getting crapped up!. The ridiculously stupid “cool” should be maintained to a lower level instead of unleashing it in a retarded way that would end up giving you a free ticket to the jail , you can buy a bag and so fore to make you “cool” but not looking down on others is also a great way to maintain the “cool” at a certain level too.
