Student's pride.. where are they now?

I promise.. this post is about an 'action packed' incident which happened recently.. at the place i am currently, shame to say, living in..

Being exposed to the recent hype on school bully, it seemed that students around Sarawak also picked up such trend.. Note that recently, a video was actively distributed all over the net and somehow it made way to me courtesy of one of my ex-secondary school classmate (thanks ling...heh heh)..

Thinking that it was something exciting at first, i clicked the link without hesitation only to find, to my horror (actually not really horrific), a bunch of school girls making a scene at a PUBLIC recreational area near my residence and my favourite football spot, ganging up against one girl.. Beating and slapping, like an enraged employer whacking his accident prone maid for spilling hot coffee over his groin..


"Ni you mei jou jiang??!! You mei you?" *Slap.. *Slap

Seeing it for the first time, i felt really bad, as i've been a sudent myself, i've never ever encounter such thing, what more to say by girls. Imagine, having several beating you up, you'd be hopelessly pushed around and being physically abused..

Fast paced action is promised in this video.. so fast you can't even catch who's being slapped and who's slapping..

I mean, what are those for? even if there ARE things worth to have someone beaten up, it doesn't mean that you really should do so.. and what more to say having several people against one. Well, i believe that there are ways to settle matters, and not just slapping a person around while screaming 'wanna settle this? huh? wanna settle this?' .

After 6 minutes of craps and nonsense brought to the viewers by those idiotic students, what is left is a scar, bad impression towards these students. Believe me, its not just THAT school involved, but practically the whole city and state had its name tarnished over one incident..

Being a busybody, i also got to know that these bunch of students are being hunted around by some people, well, i presume that 'these people' are from the victim's side.. And to really be sure how famous this case had became, it was broadcasted over the radio while i was driving to see my gang for a cup of tea.. wah lau..

Over with these serious stuff, lets move on to the lighter side...

The action sequence.. Before, during and after.. well, not actually..


As i've said, after seeing it for the first time, my feelings was described as above.. then i made a mistake seeing it a few more times.. then i noticed several funny incidents...

Firstly, notice the presence of several boys?

Notice the farmost figure on the left? 'She' is actually a guy..

What are their roles in the clip? Apparently, they tried stopping the fight around 5 mins of the clip. Not to say that their actions are not respectable, but to watch the ordeal first and enjoy the bits first THEN stop it is just a huge nonsense to see.. Some can be seen just cursing and saying 'hey, enough..' but nothing is done before the fight goes on for over 5 mins..

Another scene shows one of the participants, a member of the four feisty 'spice girls', lets assume her as 'pan-ker-ai spice', flashing a so called 'act-cute' and 'presumed kawaii' peace sign with both her hands to get attention while the poor girl (the victim) is being slapped and pushed around by her 'comrades' at the background. What is all that for? Acting feisty and angry when beating the girl THEN act cute in front of the camera? Hillarious..

HI! Say peace and no war! *Slap *slap.. 'Haha, wo sot liao' (haha, i'm crazy already)

Then, the CONVERSATION.. As my friend (markie) mentioned.. all they say was.. 'Ni you mei you jiang?!' (did you say it?!) and several other foul languages.. is all so lame.. This gives an impression to the more careful viewers that despite being in form 3 or 4.. (actually i'm not so sure..), they have limited, and i say, REALLY LIMITED source of vocabulary... and to have this video displayed for international viewers, it will definitely not win them any oscar prizes for the conversation is anything but fluent and creative..

And finally, the commendable (my friend, Daniel, loves this part the most), 'international invisible palms' is so well struck on the victim's face was really the actual hi-lite of the clip. It shows another 'spice girl', well, lets call her the 'angry spice', slapped the poor girl continuously 3 times on the cheeks with tremendous power and accuracy.. DAMN, i almost mistaken her for being a professional volleyball player..

So the clip ends when several boys who once played the role of 'minnequins', came to life and pushed these two party apart... Again, a mixture of swearing and some scuffles, the victim is finally released from the brawl.. ugly, isn't it..

Thus the question is, where is the moral values of young people nowadays? Where is the sense of respect among the fellow schoolmates? Why is it so hard to make friends now and so easy to make up fights? Why did it happen in a beautiful place called Tanjung? and WHY did the rest of the students dresses in school uniform while the victim is dressed in plain clothes? Hmm.. now that have me thinking....

*too bad the clip is taken down, or i might just show you guys too.. but what the heck..
