I was late this morning, and I blamed it on Discovery Channel. I just watched in horror that Tel Aviv has developed a new killing machine known as Tuvlar. Shorter, lighter than M-16, it’s engineered without compromise and supposed to replace the former in the market. It’s a military development (read: misdevelopment) specifically for URBAN combat, so user-friendly (read: killer-friendly) that even fellow civilian-young-illiterate are ready to engage!
I don’t want to step far, but my idea of URBAN survival is surely 180° in adverse. Yes, sometimes we want the world to ourselves, not to a foreign face or stranger at all. Sometimes it’s hard to share, and it’s harder to let go. But FT has taught me that even I prefer more familiar-coloured-Malaysian faces in the city, I love tourists and expect expatriates to come hence develop this country. Mat Bangla or Minah Indon do have their place in this city as well. Or that I noticed more and more cars with Yellow-SPxx registration on the road, I shouldn’t be rude or disrespect to others. Even the illegal has to be dealt accordingly with respect and honour. What I learn from Tuvlar this morning, is not what I learnt from FT – that’s SHARING is CARING- and vice-versa!
