-=[顺]=- Shun no Oni

One afternoon, after lunch with my working colleagues , we part our path. One of them followed me, the other went back to rest. So it was hot afternoon, quick stroll to the nearby mall, Tanglin Mall.

Was searching high and low for that specific chocolate but my effort in vain, so I left the place with a bit of disappointment. Then we hear a woman yelled, "Stop him! Stop him!"

Seeing where she point, it was a middle-age man, in button shirt and shorts with a bag, walking stealthily trying to get away.

Without much thinking, I hold and grip him on the arm with my two hands. My friend was in shocked too. Soon the group of caucasians came rushing by. Claiming he had stole something, I ask her checked if she lost anything, and I ask that man did he took anything.

He replied,"I returned to her already." This was a very weird answer to me, as in the first place if you have not take anything from her, you do not need to return anything. In the end, I decide to hold him with firm determination. Then came rushing by are the shop assistances. One of them even mistook my friend for trying to fight with the man.

With this much crowd gather, a lot of eyes were peeping from all corners of the cashier machines. Trying to sort out things, the man attempt to run, almost losing my grip, I say "Hold him down!" to the shop assistances. His shirt came off revealing some tattoo on his body. By this time, he was hold down by the potato chips shelf.

Seeing the shop assistances have the situation under control, I ask my friend to leave it them and we head to toilet and out of the scene.

This is quite unbelievable personal account that I and my friend had experienced. No reward or any praise needed, we still find it unbelievable.

The next day, a small article about it was on the newspaper. Who got the praised? The shop assistance.

Good for him.

Least the experience was quite shocking unbelievable.
