I read this piece of news and thought I had woken up in another country somewhere in South Asia! Imagine the fear that must have been in the hearts of people in Little India when it happened.
I hope those responsible are made to answer for this very soon.
What is the news?
A riot in Little India which involved 400 people was sparked off by a fatal accident involving a 33-year-old Indian national who was knocked down by a private bus! Yes, 400 people!
The aftermath. Cars were overturned and set on fire! |
Some 300 police officers were deployed to the site after the trouble broke out. The riot was quelled in under two hours after the first call reporting the incident was received at 9.23pm.
Police Commissioner Ng Joo Hee said rioters threw glass bottles, railings and other projectiles at officers.
Horrible!
