Fight.Or.Run


Saw this heart-gripping news on today's paper earlier. Apparently this dude got slashed like one of those victims during the samurai legacy. Here's the details.
[From TheStar]

JOHOR BARU: A 31-year-old construction site supervisor needed more than 100 stitches on his face and neck after a knife-wielding robber slashed him in broad daylight.

Teh Hiang Seng, who works in Singapore, was going to make credit card payments at a bank in Jalan Wong Ah Fook at 1pm on Sunday when a man approached him and demanded the RM920 he had.


Teh said he tried to fight but the man managed to overpower him. “I tried running away but he chased after me. He then took out a pocket knife and slashed me on the face,” he said.

He was speaking at a press conference organised by Johor Baru City Council councillor Rodney Soon here yesterday.

Teh explained that the robber was about to take his money when the bank’s security guards came to his rescue.“The guards held off the man and called the police. I am deeply traumatised by the attack.”

Police sent him to the Sultanah Aminah Hospital, where he received more than 100 stitches for the injuries on his face.
Soon said he would write a letter to the police urging them to tighten security in the city, especially in the central business district.


So guys, in case you ever encounter such situation in the future - touch wood. Just freaking let those son-of-a-bitch have whatever they want! Your life's worth so much more. =)
