To some of you out there, this post is going to be something so trivial that it is not worth writing about.
My mom was at the neighborhood Chinese medicine shop in the morning. The lady boss was complaining about 2 cases of milk powder being stolen from her brother shop and also hers. In the first case the thieve was a middle age Chinese uncle and the second was a middle age Indian auntie. The normal reaction would be to dismissed these cases as just your normal insignificant shoplifting cases.
Due to my paranoid character, I am going to make some baseless speculations from here . The perpetrators seems to be your average looking aunties or uncles.
Does this make sense? Is it worth the risk to steal large items like tins of milk powder right under the nose of watchful keepers of small shops ?
If there is a rapid rise of such crime, does this means that there are parents out there who are so desperate that they need steal milk powder for their babies or toddlers?
Could this be the symptom of the the section of Malaysians in between the poor and middle class breaking down?
Would the lower middle class be the next to hit bottom ?
After which the upper middle class will start migrating en masse?
What is next, the cliffhanger collapse of Malaysia?
For those of you who have read this far, I sincerely apologize if find the above as nothing more than paranoid questions .
