As much as I wanted to stay away from blogging, but I’m really angry right now that I have to release my thoughts here. As I’m typing this very moment, there are about 10 men holding wooden sticks or parang and torch lights in front of my opposite neighbor’s house and at his back lane. Someone broke into his house. There are 3 men hidden in the top ceiling, and they entered from the roof. For the past week, 3 houses were broken into, but not all lost their belongings as they had fixed the locks at the “exit” at the bathroom ceiling on the top floor. We did that too, so at least my parents’ place is more secured.
30 minutes ago, I made a phone call to 999. I was asked about the reason I called, my address and my name. Ok, I gave the receptionist (or is it a policewoman?) and she transfered my call to the nearest police station in my area. I gave the same piece of information again and I stressed out that THE INTRUDERS ARE STILL IN THE HOUSE! But what do you know? They asked for contact number, so I gave mine. I said it’s my opposite neighbor’s house, just come now.
But still, there was no sign of any policeman. I made another call 15 minutes later, and did the whole cycle again. I heard some Malay songs playing in the background, wah, so relax working there ah? When my call was transfered, ya again, I gave the same information again. This time, the officer asked for my neighbor’s number. I told him HE IS TOO BUSY WAITING FOR THE INTRUDERS TO COME OUT SO THAT HE CAN CATCH THEM, he’s not available to my phone now. You know what the office did? HE SLAMMED MY PHONE. D*mn it. I’m so angry. Where are the police when they are supposed to help us?
It’s like one hour after my calls and there is still no sign of any policeman. You say I lagi angry or not? I may be able to sleep tonight, but I know that my neighbors, the 3 men and 2 women staying in the house won’t be able to close their eyes. They even heard footsteps in the ceiling. Can you imagine that? Isn’t it scary?
So, if your house is broken into, you will have to make the call by yourself and give your number, then only will the police come izzit? The helpful neighbors cannot do anything izzit? Cannot even make phone calls izzit? My neighbor is too busy worrying about their safety, so why can’t someone help them to call?
Now I truly understand why most people won’t call the police when they need help. It’s wasting my time and my mum’s phone bill only.
BTW, still no sign of any police as I’m publishing this post. Ptui…
Edited: 2 minutes ago, the policemen came, with guns (Justin said wan, he related everything to me). Finally!!! They couldn’t find anything. Ya loh, people cabut loh.
