Bangsar is a happening place

Drama – part 1
24 July, Bangsar – at approximately 3 pm a Honda Unser drove down the road where I lived, swerved right into a neighbour's house, smashed the gate, hit the Mercedes sitting inside, then reversed and scraped a Hyundai Sonata parked on the side of the road before crashing into the house opposite, bringing down a good part of the wall and gate.

It so happened that the occupant of the house, a nice old lady, was in her garden at that time. The gate fell on her and the spikes pierced her chest. Her screams could be heard throughout the street. Luckily there was a doctor living nearby. He did his best in minimising the blood loss. She could not be moved until the ambulance arrived. She was still conscious when it took her away.

While all this was happening the driver coolly stepped out of the vehicle and calmly walked away from the scene. Witnesses speculated that the driver was either drunk or suffering from a mental illness.
Nothing is known of the state of the victim or the perpetrator as yet.


Drama – part 2
26 July, Lucky Garden(Bangsar) – at 8.15pm I was having a meeting at Strudles Café where a fight broke out involving a Malay driver of a Proton Saga and a drunk Mamak driver in a Kancil. The Proton Saga was reversing when the Kancil drove behind it. There was no collision and the event that transpired soon after were sketchy however there was a heated exchange where the Kancil driver provoked the Proton driver by hitting him from behind as he was about to return to his car.

His fiancée in the Proton car yelled for help in which time, the drivers exchanged blows, with the Kancil driver collapsing in a heap. Passers-by helped restrain one driver while the drunk was held back by his friend. His friend was allegedly also drunk as they both soon started arguing louddly among themselves.

During this time, the scuffle attracted a small crowd and disturbingly, one busybody who had no business in the affair joined in with a rod. Luckily he had no occasion to use it as the police soon appeared and intervened. The matter was resolved within 20 minutes.
