Good..now i think I know. Okay, going to do a review of the parang attack news. So, just a short summary (in orange) first:

A Singapore bus driver was attacked by parang—wielding men in a bold robbery attempt in the southern Malaysian city of Johor Bahru on Tuesday evening.
The incident occurred on SBS Transit bus service number 160 which had just left the Kotaraya shopping centre. The bus was heading for the Woodlands Checkpoint at the border with Singapore.
A caller to MediaCorp’s News hotline said the driver was slashed with a parang when he tried to close the door on the men who were trying to board. The assailants fled immediately after the incident.

Well, I think this incident reflects badly on our neighbour's, Malaysia, border-line security. Although I do not want to sound harsh to our neighbours, I think more effort should be put in from Malaysia. Since many Singaporeans are crossing the border to Malaysia daily and vice versa, the Malaysian security board (if it actually exists) should step up and protect both the locals and the foreigners.

As both Singapore and Malaysia have gone through a lot together in the past, I feel that something should be done to help both citizens of these countries feel a sense of security when exceeding their respective territories. This would ensure that the strong bonds with the country that we have shared thick and thin with for many years does not deteriorate and wither away over time.
