I went for my haircut at my usual saloon this afternoon. .
Chinese New year (Spring Festival) is just round the corner (23-1-2012), so everyone must have a haircut in order to have a good "head start". Moreover, long and unkempt hair is no good sign for new year.
But more importantly, price of haircut would be doubled two weeks before the new year.... it is not cut hair but "cut throat".
Mary's saloon is already well decorated for the festival.
"You don't usually come for haircut on Sunday?"
"No, why?" (she knows very well I don't come on Sunday)
" I decided to close on Sundays ....... it is not safe, I was robbed few Sundays ago...!"
Mary's saloon closes on Wednesdays and previously, Sundays are business days.
"ahh..!!"
She told me 3 men came in under the pretax of haircut, one of them is an elderly in late fifties. They tied her and her daughter (no other customers then) and robbed them of RM360.00 cash. Luckily they were not harm.
The 7-11 convenient store few doors a way was robbed 6 times since opening 2 years ago. With the latest robbery, all shops owner decided to close on Sundays. (Being lesser crowd)
In the newspaper today, a minister's wife ( believed to be wife of Rais Yatim, Minister of Information, Communication and Culture ) was robbed of her hand bag while stopping her car at a traffic light junction in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.
Are we safe? I am not feeling safe, aren' t you?
A day earlier, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) was trumpeting the national crime rate has dropped 10% and has achieved their target under the National Key Result Area to reduce street crime by 40%! Do you believe?
I devilishly wished that, the robber could have plunged a knife into a hand of minister's wife to highlight that " The street of Malaysia is not safe!"
oooopssss...my haircut ? nothing to talk about. But.... if you really want to know, please scroll to the bottom ......

今天下午，我去了理发。
农历新年即将来临，所以每个人都会去理发，期望新年有个好“开头”。再说，长发及没修理的头发，在新年里是个不好的“意头”。
但更重要的是，理发店及发廊，在新年前的两个星期，会把价钱提高一倍，那时，不是理发，而是砍头。
玛莉的发廊已经披上了新年的装饰。
"。。通常你都不会在星期天理发店？。。“
“不会。为什么？” 奇怪，她应该知道我没有在星期天来理发的。
“星期天我没有营业了 。。。早两个星期天，我被打抢了。。。”
“啊。。。。”
根据玛莉说，三位华人走进她的发廊，其中一位是五十多的老人，以理发为藉口，进来打枪。他们把她和女儿绑起来（当时没有其他顾客），抢了她们马币三百六十零吉的现款。幸亏他们感到满足，没有伤害她们。
隔邻的 7-11 便利店，开张不到两年，已经被抢了六次。随着这一次的打枪，邻近代商家一致决定，星期天不要营业。（星期天人潮较少）
在今天的报纸里，报导了一位部长夫人（相信是新闻，通讯及文化部长赖斯亚丁的太太），在吉隆坡安邦一条公路的交通灯前停车时，被匪徒击破车镜，抢了手袋。
我们这里安全码？我觉得不安全，你呢？
在前一天的报纸报道，我国警察总长骄傲的宣布，全国的犯罪率下降百分之十，而警察部队也成功的依照国家指标成绩地区内，把街头罪案降低了百分之四十。你相信吗？
我非常黑心的想到，那个匪徒应该把部长夫人的手，刺上两刀，好宣扬一下：“我们的街道不安全！”
哦哦哦。。。至于我的头发，吾不欲言之。。。。不过，假如你真的想知道，请往下滑。。。。
