Singapore nabs robbers by overkill

We thought the ongo­ing drama that started on Thurs­day about some Malaysian armed rob­bers hijack­ing a boat and stu­pidly land­ing on Singapore’s most highly guarded out­ly­ing island, Tekong was the high­light of the month. Then the Tai­wanese pres­i­dent had to get shot.

Any­way, quite funny. The poor reservists on duty this week got to do a real job and put on bul­let proof vests to hunt down the ban­dits. I think Yasmin’s Samuel is one of them (the reservists, not the ban­dits). Being Sin­ga­porean, they mobilised 700 men to hunt down 4 ban­dits. So far they’ve caught one. Speak­ing from expe­ri­ence, I think the reservists are more afraid of get­ting shot by each other rather than the ban­dits with the one shot­gun and pistol.
