Gourmet sandwich by AK71 Deli.

I enjoy a nice gourmet sandwich once in a while but I find them rather pricey. A black pepper ham sandwich from Swiss Bake would easily set me back by $7.00 or more, for example.

Anyway, you guys know by now that I like to prepare and bring my own food to work. So, having a craving for some black pepper ham sandwich last night, I went grocery shopping at NTUC Fairprice.

I got some organic Romaine lettuce, 200gm of black pepper ham, a loaf of wholemeal bread from Gardenia and some low fat cheese. All for less than $10.00 and enough to make 6 sandwiches. Still have some lettuce and cheese leftover.

I had the bread ends. I love bread ends.

Oishi!

Enough to provide breakfast for the whole family. Nice atas sandwiches!

Do you own properties in Little India?

A friend who stays in the vicinity of Little India told me that he would try to get home early every weekend because later in the evenings his neighbourhood would transform and it would not feel like Singapore anymore.

People would congregate in groups of more than 5 in the common areas (although technically these would be unlawful gatherings), drink beer, share food, talk loudly, sing, dance and pee on the walls. It is quite scary.

In the mornings, he would witness the aftermath (the sight and the smell) of such night time activities. Awful.

With the disastrous incident that took place last night, I hope that the authorities will really step up policing Little India and break up large gatherings. They should issue summons for the herds that dash across roads with no consideration of safety too. I know this because I drove there before and, trust me, it is very stressful for drivers.

I have avoided driving in Little India for a long time.

Perhaps, officers from the National Environmental Agency should also police the area and apprehend people who litter and pee in public. Whatever happened to CWOs?

For people who own real estate in District 8, such undesirables might affect the value of their investments. For people who stay there, it could be quite stressful. The riot last night would probably cast a pall on the entire area for some time to come.

Little India is a part of Singapore and it should be like Singapore and not some other country.

I am all for having migrants in Singapore, accepting that our population and domestic economy are too small. However, foreigners must respect the rule of law or be dealt with sternly.
