Terrific Tekka

If you think it's just Yishun or Ang Mo Kio the places that are terrifying, you have got no idea. Just a few days ago, I was rudely distracted by a loud scream. With my neighbours screaming and yelling, I unnervingly opened my door to get a glimpse of the action taking place.

Violence KLK-style took place in Tekka last Sunday [8th April]. Am sure you'd have heard of it if you stayed loyal to the television. Staying in the heart of the Indian traditional hangout, I got an eagle's eye view of the action taking place. Trust me, this is exactly the same thing you would see in a Tamil movie. The only difference is that, this time, it wasn't our beloved Captain Vijayakanth.

Armed with weapons, Indian heroes went on to disfigure a lone ranger. Of course, the Special Operations Command was called in together with a couple of ambulances. Little does everyone know why this mystery man was attacked nor where he was from. I will keep you updated after a special interview with one of the flower shop owners who was involved in this bloodshed.

Police break up armed brawl, ST, Monday, 9 April 2007:

Police were called in to break up a brawl between four men in Serangoon Road last night. The four men, all armed with wooden poles, had earlier damanged several tables belonging to three businesses in Buffalo Road, including the well-known Blue Diamond restaurant, a police spokesman said.

The SCDF was also called in to convey three men who had sustained slight cuts to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. It is not clear what caused the fight. No one has been arrested so far, but investigations are ongoing, the police spokesman added.

While no one has been charged so far, there is concern over the number of cases of rioting and unlawful assembly....

Interestingly, the coverage on Vasantham's Tamil News was way more dramatic featuring interviews with passersby than what the English media has accorded to the event. Already, Praba's eyewitness account differs from the actual news release on what the incident really was.

Still, we're waiting for the real news to trickle in [doesn't it always?] and Praba will be your man on the scene to keep you posted on the thrills and spills in the many lanes that run tributary to Serangoon Road.

I donno abt Yishun, but Ang Mo Kio is definitly not terrifying,seriously, it probably was many years ago, but now it's not.

Yea, we heard someone tell us the same too. Apparently since the relocation of the interchange, things in AMK have quieten down. Must be the feng shui.

Have you heard of the recent en-bloc sale residents getting convinced that they NEED to move out because the feng shui in their estate is crap?
